Use a Flatbed OnlyUse a
flatbed trailer only, unless otherwisespecified by Tesla. Do not transport Model X
with the tires directly on the ground.
Caution: Damage caused by transporting is not covered by the warranty.Caution: To transport Model X, follow the
instructions exactly as described next.
Disable Self-Leveling (air
suspension vehicles only)
If Model X is equipped with Smart Air
Suspension, it automatically self-levels, even
when power is
off. To prevent damage, you
must activate Jack mode to disable self-
leveling:
1. Touch Controls > Suspension on the touchscreen.
2. Press the brake pedal, then touch Very High to maximize height.
3. Touch Jack.
When Jack mode is active,
Model X displays this indicator
light on the instrument panel,
along with a message telling you
that active suspension is
disabled.
Note: Jack mode cancels when Model X is
driven over 4.5 mph (7 km/h).
Warning: Failure to activate Jack mode on
a Model X equipped with Smart Air
Suspension can result in the vehicle
becoming loose during transport, which
may cause
significant damage.
Activate Tow Mode
Model X may automatically shift into Park
when it detects the driver leaving the vehicle,
even if it has previously been shifted into Neutral. To keep Model X in Neutral (which
disengages the parking brake), you must use
the touchscreen to activate Tow mode:
1. Shift into Park.
2. Press the brake pedal, then on the touchscreen, touch Controls > Settings >
Service & Reset > Tow Mode.When Tow mode is active, Model X
displays this indicator light on the
instrument panel, along with a
message telling you that Model X is
free-rolling.
Note: Tow mode cancels when Model X is
shifted into Park.
Caution: If the electrical system is not
working, and you therefore cannot release
the electric parking brake, attempt to
quick start the 12V battery. For
instructions, call Tesla. If a situation
occurs where you cannot disengage the
parking brake, use tire skids or transport Model X for the shortest possible distance
using wheeled dollies. Before doing so,
always check the dolly manufacturer
IllustrationsIllustrations are provided for demonstration
purposes only. Depending on vehicle options, software version, region of purchase, and

to both right-hand drive and left-hand drive
vehicles, many illustrations show only left-
hand drive vehicles. However, the essential
information that the illustrations are providing
is correct.

vehicle when sitting inside Model X in a front-
facing seat.
Document Applicability
Owner information is updated on a regular
basis to
reflect updates to your Model X.
However, in some cases, recently released
features may not be described. To display
information about recently released features,
view the Release Notes on the Model X
touchscreen. Release Notes are displayed on
the touchscreen after a software update, and can be displayed at any time by touching the
Tesla "T" at the top center of the touchscreen,
then touching the Release Notes link. If
information related to how to use the Model X
touchscreen
conflicts with information in the
Release Notes, the Release Notes take
precedence.
