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.
