Opening and Closing Falcon Wing
Doors
Model X has electrically-powered falcon wing
doors that easily open and close by pressing a
button, using the key, or touching the
associated icon on the touchscreen
( Controls > Quick Controls ). The falcon wing
doors are equipped with several sensors that detect the presence of people and objects
and, if an object is detected, the door stops moving. Based on detected objects, the doors
may adjust their outward and upward
movement in an attempt to avoid contacting
the object. For example, if an object is
detected above Model X, the door

are opening or closing the associatedfalcon wing door, you MUST keep your
hands (or any object) away from the opening edge of the front door. When a falcon wing door passes by a partially
opened front door, the distance between
the two doors is very narrow. Objects,
such as hands or fingers, placed in this
area, are not detected by sensors and can
therefore become pinched between the
doors. To avoid bodily injury, it is a good practice to keep your hands away from
the front door whenever you are opening
or closing a falcon wing door.Warning: When opening or closing a
falcon wing door, it is important to
proactively monitor the movement of the door to ensure that it does not come into
contact with a person or object. Failure to
do so can cause serious damage or injury.Caution: Remove accumulation of snow
or ice before opening a falcon wing door.
Snow can get inside Model X and ice can
prevent the door from opening.Caution: In rainy weather, leaving a falcon
wing open while opening the liftgate can
result in rain water falling from the liftgate
into the rear seating area.
Note: Falcon wing doors open only when
Model X is stationary.
Obstacle Detection
A falcon wing door stops moving when one of
its many sensors detects an obstacle, or when
the door senses resistance because it has made contact with an object. The touchscreen
displays a warning. In these cases, provided it
is appropriate to continue opening or closing
the falcon wing door, you can override obstacle detection by pressing and holding
the switch located on the door pillar, or
touching and holding the associated door icon on the touchscreen.
When Model X detects a low ceiling (for
example, in a garage), it opens the falcon wing
doors (and trunk) to a lower height, even if no
obstacle is detected. You can override this height and open the doors higher by touching
the associated door icon on the touchscreen
( Controls > Quick Controls ). The touchscreen
displays a message asking you if you always
want to open the doors to the higher height at
this location, and saves your choice. The next
time you open the falcon wing doors at this
location, Model X opens them to the height you saved.Warning: Before overriding a falcon wing
door

You can also unlock doors by pressing the
Park button on the end of the gear selector a second time (for example, after pressing it one

lock Model X, it locks when you close it.
