Recently, a Tesla Model Y owner showed how to open the tailgate of the vehicle through Apple's "Hey Siri" function.
This feature is useful for Model Y owners who may need to ship goods frequently.
According to an owner named Ryan Wallace, the Model Y Performance he purchased was officially delivered recently. In a tweet, he said that the owner can open and close the tailgate of the Model Y by saying "Hey Siri".
How good is this!!! The @Tesla Model Y can open and close via Siri. You don't need an automatic foot sensor when you can just have your phone do it hands free. Sorry if you Siri hears this. #ModelY pic.twitter.com/AQElQP8Mmi

He said that Stats APP (Stats: For Tesla Model S / X / 3) has a design integrated with Siri. This function can realize the interaction between the iPhone and Tesla cars and allow the iPhone to control some functions of the vehicle.
Previously, some car manufacturers have used foot sensors to make it easier to open the tailgate of the vehicle.
The foot sensor is a great choice for some people, but voice activation may be more convenient.
Ryan Wallace said that the relevant functions of the Stats App can also be implemented on the Apple Watch, and the iPhone seems to only respond to the owner's own voice.
This is because when the user sets the function, Siri will ask the owner to record a voice as a recognition source.
At the same time, he said that the Tesla Model Y is the only model that can use the voice to control the tailgate. At the same time, by integrating Siri into the Tess Stats APP, the door can be opened or locked, the air conditioning can be turned on, or the sentry mode can be activated.
