Introduzione

A teardown of the Tesla M3 Keyfob performed in advance of attempting to model a slimmer housing for it. You can check out how I built a replacement housing for the PCB here:

    • Gather your spudger and key fob

    • Prepare a surface to work on (ensure it's won't damage the piano black exterior coating)

    • Using a small pry tool, gently press into the small indent near the front of the key fob while pressing up to pop off the battery cover.

    • Remove the coin-cell battery type CR2032 by prying upwards in the small recess

    • If all you want to do is replace the battery, stop here.

    • Using a stiff spudger or other prying tool, pry back the plastic tabs on the top and bottom of the plastic sides (circled in red)

    • Take your time here and go slowly so you don't break the clips

    • Next, pry up the middle shell section using the four tabs at the sides of the case. (outlined in green on the right side)

    • Last but not least, gently pull out the PCB from the top housing

    • The coin cell battery holding bracket (circled in orange) can be removed by gently grabbing with tweezers and lifting straight up

    • And just like that you're done!

    • A relatively simple teardown. Go forward and put that PCB to good use with a custom fob housing
