2020 TESLA MODEL X Owner's Manual

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.

optional Autopilot package, refer to the owner

To set the cruising speed to the speed limitplus any offset you

decelerate when a vehicle or object is
only partially in the driving lane or when a
vehicle you are following moves out of your driving path and a stationary or
slow-moving vehicle or object is in front of you. Always pay attention to the road
ahead and stay prepared to take
immediate corrective action. Depending
on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to avoid a
collision can result in serious injury or death. In addition, Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control may react to vehicles or objects
that either do not exist or are not in the
lane of travel, causing Model X to slow
down unnecessarily or inappropriately.Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
may be unable to provide adequate
speed control because of limited braking capability and hills. It can also misjudgethe distance from a vehicle ahead. Driving
downhill can increase driving speed, causing Model X to exceed your set
speed (and potentially the road
