2020 TESLA MODEL X battery

2.Remove the battery by carefully releasing
it from the retaining clips at an angle.3. Insert the new battery (type CR2354) with
the

of metal. Take the smartphone out of the case
and place the phone in the charger.
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, Sentry Mode, etc. are enabled. The
vehicle is also awake whenever the 12V battery
is being charged or is in use, during HV
charging, when the vehicle is communicating
with the mobile app, etc. Leaving an accessory
plugged in does not deplete the 12V battery.
Note: In situations where Model X is unable to
detect the key (low battery, interference, etc.),
place it immediately below the 12V power
socket in the center console where Model X can best detect it.
Warning: The power socket and an
accessory

IndicatorDescription
Trailer mode (if equipped) is active. See Towing and Accessories on page 94.
Appears when some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available due
to cold weather conditions. If Model X is plugged in, you can heat your Battery by
turning on climate control with the mobile app. The snow

Caution: If the brakes are not functioning
properly, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and contact Tesla Service.
See Park on page 63 for information on
using the Park button to stop the vehicle
in case of emergency.Warning: Always maintain a safe driving
distance from the vehicle in front of you
and be cautious in hazardous driving
conditions. Do not rely on brake disc
wiping or hydraulic fade compensation to act as a substitute for adequate braking.
Regenerative Braking
Whenever Model X is moving and your foot is
off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows
down Model X and feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery.
By anticipating your stops and reducing or
removing pressure from the accelerator pedal
to slow down, you can take advantage of regenerative braking to increase driving range.
Of course, this is no substitute for regular braking when needed for safety.
Note: If regenerative braking is aggressively
slowing Model X (such as when your foot is
completely off the accelerator pedal at
highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to
alert others that you are slowing down.
Warning: In snowy or icy conditions
Model X may experience traction loss
during regenerative braking, particularly
when in the Standard setting and/or not
using winter tires. Tesla recommends
using the Low setting (see To Set the
Regenerative Braking Level on page 77)
in snowy or icy conditions to help
maintain vehicle stability.
The Energy app displays real-time feedback
on the amount of energy being gained by
regenerative braking. You can also display the
power meter on either side of the instrument
panel by choosing Energy using the scroll
button on the steering wheel (see Steering
Wheel on page 56).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using regenerative braking can depend on thecurrent state of the Battery and the charge
level setting that you are using. For example,
regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is too cold.
Note: If regenerative braking is limited, a
dashed yellow line displays on the power
meter.
To Set the Regenerative Braking Level
You can use the touchscreen to change the
level of regenerative braking:
1. Touch Controls > Driving > Regenerative
Braking .
2. Choose from two levels:

range. In addition to heating the Battery, thesesettings also cool the battery when necessary
(for example, while driving at high speeds,
during rapid acceleration, driving for long
periods, etc.).
Launch Mode
Launch Mode, available on Performance All-
Wheel Drive vehicles only, provides optimum acceleration on surfaces with good traction.
Note: Hard acceleration including, but not
limited to, using launch mode, increases stress
on the vehicle

The following best practices can help ensure
that you have the best ownership experience
possible in harsh cold weather conditions.
Before Driving Warm the cabin and Battery ahead of
departure for maximum range and
performance. There are several ways to
precondition your vehicle:

Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is too cold. As you continue to drive,
the Battery warms up and regenerative power
increases (see Regenerative Braking on page
77).
Note: Limited regenerative braking can be
avoided if you allow enough time to precondition your vehicle or use scheduleddeparture before your drive, as mentioned
previously.

injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate controlsystem and seat heaters.
Note: The climate control system is powered by the high voltage battery. Therefore, prolonged use
decreases driving range.Climate Controls
