1.This area on the top of the touchscreen displays the time and provides shortcut to lock/
unlock the vehicle, access vehicle information (the Tesla "T"), choose to set up a driver profile
(see Driver Profiles on page 50), control HomeLink devices (if equipped) (see HomeLink
Universal Transceiver on page 155), view network strength, and connect to Wi-Fi (see
Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 157) and Bluetooth devices (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on
page 148). If you see an exclamation mark, touch it to see warning messages that are in effect. If you see a yellow clock icon, a software update is available (see Software Updates on
page 158).
Note: An airbag status symbol displays in the top corner of the touchscreen only when
Model X is powered on, ready to drive, and the airbag is turned off (see Airbags on page 45).

Glove Box
To open the glove box, press the switch located on the side of the touchscreen. If you
leave the glove box open for five minutes, its
light automatically turns off.
Note: The glove box locks whenever Model X
is locked externally, using the key or walk-
away locking. It also locks when Model X is in Valet mode (see Valet Mode on page 51). It
does not lock when Model X is locked using
the touchscreen.
Warning: When driving, keep the glove
box closed to prevent injury to a
passenger if a collision or sudden stop
occurs.
USB Ports
Your Model X has two USB ports located onthe 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 Playing Media from Devices on page
146. You can also use these ports to charge
USB devices.
In addition, Model X has two charge-only USB
ports 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.
Note: Power is available whenever the vehicle
is considered "awake" The vehicle may be awake for many reasons. For example, when
using features such as Summon, or when
features such as Smart Preconditioning, Cabin Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog
Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle is alsoawake whenever the 12V battery is beingcharged or is in use, during HV charging, whenthe vehicle is communicating with the mobile
app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in
does not deplete the 12V battery.
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: Power is available whenever the vehicle
is considered "awake" The vehicle may be awake for many reasons. For example, when
using features such as Summon, or when features such as Smart Preconditioning, Cabin
Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle is alsoawake whenever the 12V battery is beingcharged or is in use, during HV charging, when
the vehicle is communicating with the mobile

Park Assist
How Park Assist Works
Model X has several sensors designed to
detect the presence of objects. When driving
slowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when
parking), the sensors alert you if an object is
detected in close proximity of your Model X.
Objects are only detected in the direction of
the gear you selected; front objects in Drive,
rear objects in Reverse.
Warning: You may not be alerted if
Model X rolls freely in the opposite
direction of the gear you selected (for
example, you will not receive an alert if
Model X rolls backwards down a hill while
in Drive).
The sensors are activated when driving slower
than 8 km/h.
Note: Rear sensors are disabled when a
bicycle is detected or Model X is in trailer
mode.
Warning: Never depend on Park Assist to
inform you if an area you are approachingis free of objects and/or people. Several
external factors can reduce the
performance of Park Assist, causing
either no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page
77). Therefore, depending on Park Assist
to determine if Model X is approaching an
obstruction can result in damage to the
vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Park assist does not
detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or objects that are moving, protruding, located too far above or
below the sensors, or too close or too far
from the sensors. Park Assist is for
guidance purposes only and is not intended to replace your own direct visual
checks. It is not a substitute for careful
driving.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist
view displays on the left side of the instrument
panel, showing objects that are in close
proximity to the front and rear of Model X.
This view closes when you shift into Drive
unless an object is detected close to the front
of Model X, in which case the Park Assist view
closes automatically when your driving speed
exceeds 8 km/h. When reversing, visual
feedback also displays on the touchscreen, immediately below the camera view (see Rear
View Camera on page 84). You can manually
close the park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the X in the upper left corner.
When driving with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the
Park Assist view when driving at speeds below
8 km/h. Touch the button located in the upper
left corner of the Camera app window. This is
useful if you need assistance with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling
Audible Feedback on page 77), an audible
beep sounds as you approach an object. You
can temporarily mute the chime by pressing
the scroll button on the left side of the
steering wheel or by touching the mute button on the bottom left corner of the Park Assist
view.
Note: If a sensor is unable to provide
feedback, the instrument panel displays an
alert message.

Media and Audio
Overview
Touch the Media Player icon at the
bottom of the touchscreen to
stream music or podcasts (if
available), and listen toFM, DAB, or
Internet radio stations. You can also play audio files from a Bluetooth or
USB-connected device.
Note: The media options available
to you depend on market region
and options chosen at time of
purchase.
Media Player provides three different levels of
viewing that you can access by dragging the
Media Player window upward or downward. Initially, just the Miniplayer displays. TheMiniplayer, which occupies the least amount of
space on the touchscreen, displays what
prior to the event that triggered the Alert
state, provided that a properly configured USB
drive is inserted into one of the USB ports (see Dashcam on page 85).
In the Alarm state, the security alarm
activates, the audio system generates a loud
and unexpected sound, and the message on
the touchscreen increases to maximum brightness. Sentry Mode returns from Alarm to
Standby after 30 seconds.
Location-Based Settings
You can customize Sentry Mode to
automatically enable near certain locations
when the vehicle is parked. The available
