8. Use the right steering wheel buttons to change what displays on the right side of theinstrument panel whenever a phone call is not active (see Using Left Steering Wheel Buttons
on page 37).
9. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. Instead of driving distance, you can display the percentage of battery energy remaining. To do so, touch Controls > Settings >
Units & Format > Energy & Charging (see Settings on page 101).
Note: When anticipating when you need to charge, use range estimates as a general guideline only.
Note: In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available on your drive because the Battery is too cold. When this happens, a portion of the Battery meter isblue and the driving distance value has a
snowflake image next to it. If Model X is plugged in,
you can heat your Battery using wall power by turning on climate control using the mobile app. When the Battery warms up, the blue portion on the meter and the
snowflake image are
no longer displayed.
10. The speed limit (if available) that is currently being detected by Speed Assist (see Speed
Assist on page 91).
11. The car in front of you (if applicable).
12. Pay attention to important driving-related messages that appear at the bottom center of the instrument panel.
13. Your Model X.
14. When Autosteer is active, the driving lane is highlighted in blue (see Autosteer on page 80).
The lane may highlight in red If a front wheel passes over a lane marking and the associated
turn signal is
off (see Lane Assist on page 86).
15. Currently selected gear: Park, Reverse, Neutral, or Drive.

Regenerative Braking
Whenever Model X is moving and your foot is
off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows
down Model X and feeds any surplus energy
back to the Battery.
By anticipating your stops and simply
removing pressure from the accelerator to slow down, you can take advantage ofregenerative braking to increase driving range.
Of course, this is no substitute for regular braking when needed for safety.
Note: If regenerative braking is aggressively
slowing Model X, such as on a steep descent,
brake lights turn on to alert other road usersthat you are slowing down.
The Energy app displays real-time feedback on the amount of energy being gained by
regenerative braking. You can also display the
power meter on either side of the instrument panel by choosing Energy using the scroll
button on the steering wheel (see Steering
Wheel on page 37).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery
using regenerative braking can depend on the
current state of the Battery and the charge level setting that you are using. If regenerative
braking is limited, a dashed yellow line
displays on the power meter. For example,
regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is low.
To Set the Regenerative Braking Level
You can use the touchscreen to change the
level of regenerative braking:
1. Touch Controls > Driving > Regenerative Braking.
2. Choose from two levels:

Performance Dual Motor Vehicles
Only
Launch Mode, available on performance dual motor vehicles only, provides optimum
acceleration on surfaces with good traction.
To use Launch Mode, you must set the acceleration level to Insane (or Ludicrous) and
then enable Max Battery Power (see Controls
on page 97).Warning: Use Launch Mode only in
appropriate locations where there is no
cross
traffic or pedestrians present.
Launch Mode is designed for use on
closed circuit driving courses. It is the driver

Overview of Climate Controls
The climate controls are always available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto On, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the temperature, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air
conditioning, air distribution, air circulation, and fan speed to maintain your selected temperature. To override these settings, touch Auto On (see Customizing Climate Control on page 106).
The fan, heating, and air conditioning systems are powered by the Battery. Therefore, prolonged use decreases driving range.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, market region, and settings, the information displayed may be slightly
different.
1. The front seats are equipped with heating pads that operate at three levels from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest).
When operating, the indicator turns red and displays the setting number.
Note: If Model X is equipped with the optional subzero weather package, you can also control seat heaters in the rear seats as well as heated wipers by touching Controls > Cold Weather
(see Controls on page 97).
2. Touch the up or down arrow to set the cabin temperature (from LO, 17

USB Hub Connections
Your Model X has two USB connections
located on the front of the center console that
you can use to connect USB devices. To play
audio
files stored on a USB drive connected to
these ports, see My Music & Devices on page
113. You can also use these connections to
charge USB devices.
In addition, Model X has two charge-only USB
connections located at the rear of the center
console, and another charge-only connection located between the third row seats.
Note: You can charge four devices
simultaneously using the two ports at the
front of the center console and the two at the
rear of the console.
The Model X USB Hub also
offers a dedicated
Wi-Fi connection. This connection allows passengers in the rear seating positions tochange climate control settings using a unique
Tesla smartphone app.
12V Power Socket
Your Model X has a power socket located on
the front of the center console. An additional
12V power socket is located in the rear trunk.
Power is available whenever the instrument
panel and touchscreen are on.
The 12V power sockets are suitable for
accessories requiring up to 11A continuous
draw (15A peak) or a maximum of 150
continuous watts (180 watts peak).
Note: In situations where Model X is unable to detect the key (low battery, interference, etc),
place it immediately below the 12V power
socket in the center console where Model X
can best detect it.

About the Battery
Model X has one of the most sophisticated
battery systems in the world. The most
important way to preserve the Battery is to LEAVE YOUR Model X PLUGGED IN when you
are not using it. This is particularly important if you are not planning to drive Model X for
several weeks. When plugged in, Model X wakes up when needed to automatically
maintain a charge level that maximizes the
lifetime of the Battery.
There is no advantage to waiting until the
