Brakes
Braking Systems
Warning: Properly functioning braking
systems are critical to ensure safety. If you experience a problem with the brake
pedal, brake caliper, or any component of
a Model X braking system, contact Tesla
immediately.
Model X has an anti-lock braking system
(ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking
when you apply maximum brake pressure. This
improves steering control during heavy
braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the
ABS constantly monitors the speed of each
wheel and varies the brake pressure according
to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal.
This demonstrates that the ABS is operating
and is not a cause for concern. Keep firm and
steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.
The ABS indicator brie

When you use the touchscreen to
manually apply the parking brake,
the red parking brake indicator lights
up on the instrument panel .If the parking brake experiences an
electrical issue, the amber parking brake indicator lights up and a fault
message displays at the top of the
instrument panel.Caution: In the unlikely event that
Model X loses electrical power, you
cannot access the touchscreen and are
therefore unable to release the parking
brake. Contact Tesla.

Vehicle Hold
When Model X is stopped, Vehicle Hold can
continue to apply the brakes even after you
remove your foot from the brake pedal. When

Towing Capacity
The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue
weight, must never exceed the following:TiresMaximum Towing Capacity*Maximum Tongue Weight**19"***, 20" or 22"2250 kg90 kg
*Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 450 kg. Thebraking system must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions providedby the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and
maintained.
**The tongue weight is the downward force that the weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It must not be less than 4% of the trailer load. Carrying a significant amount of equipment,
passengers, or cargo in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can handle, which also
reduces the maximum towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated assuming the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is not exceeded. The GVWR is printed on the Statutory
Plate (see Statutory Plate on page 189).
***A Model X with 19" winter tires supports towing ONLY if equipped with these specific tires:

Warning: Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model X.
When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it
is the driver

Obstacle-Aware AccelerationObstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed toreduce the impact of a collision by reducing
motor torque and in some cases applying the
brakes, if Model X detects an object in its driving path. For example, Model X, while
parked in front of a closed garage door with
the Drive gear engaged, detects that you have
pressed hard on the accelerator pedal.
Although Model X still accelerates and hits the
garage door, the reduced torque may result in
less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to
operate only when all of these conditions are
simultaneously met:
