Touchscreen Overview
The main components of the touchscreen are shown here. The touchscreen is used to control
many features that, in traditional cars, are controlled using physical buttons (for example,
adjusting the heating and air conditioning, headlights, etc.). You can also use the touchscreen to
customize Model X to suit your preferences.
Warning: Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions when driving. To minimize driver
distraction and ensure the safety of vehicle occupants as well as other road users, avoid using
the touchscreen to adjust settings while the vehicle is in motion.
Note: The image below is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version and market region, your touchscreen may appear slightly different.

is still unresponsive or demonstrating
unusual behavior after a few minutes,
contact Tesla.
Note: Restarting the touchscreen does not
power Model X off and on.

Instrument Panel - DrivingWhen Model X is driving (or ready to drive), the instrument panel shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the road as detected by the Autopilot components (see
About Autopilot on page 97). The visualization automatically zooms in and out as needed to
inform you when a vehicle is detected in your blind spot.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, and market region, the information displayed may be slightly different.
1.Indicator lights display along the top to provide status (see Instrument Panel Overview on
page 65).
2. When you are actively navigating to a destination, navigation instructions display here. Use
the left steering wheel buttons to change what displays on the left side of the instrument
panel whenever navigation instructions are not displayed (see Using Left Steering Wheel
Buttons on page 53).

account, scroll to the bottom of the streaming
service window, touch Sign In, and enter your
account information.

on a new window, touch the BACK button at
the top of the window to return to the main browse page.
You can also use voice commands (available
when speaking the English language) to play a
specific song, artist, or album from an Internet
radio service (see Using Voice Commands on
page 55).
When listening to some internet radio or
music streaming services, options available on Miniplayer may vary depending on what you
