2020 TESLA MODEL X key

Linking a Driver Profile to a Key
You can link a driver profile to a specific key to
allow Model X to automatically select the
correct driver profile when the linked key is
detected as you approach the vehicle and
open the driver

Starting and Powering
Off
Starting When you open a door, Model X powers on
the instrument panel and touchscreen and you
can operate all controls.
To drive Model X:
1. PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL - Model X
powers on and is ready to drive.
2. SELECT A GEAR - Move the gear lever all
the way down for Drive and all the way up
for Reverse. See Shifting Gears on page
63.
Note: If the PIN to Drive feature is enabled
(see PIN to Drive on page 171), you must also
enter a valid PIN on the touchscreen before
you can drive Model X.
Note: If Passive Entry is off and you do not
press the brake pedal to start Model X within
approximately five minutes, a message
displays on the instrument panel and you must use the key to lock then unlock Model X again
before starting the vehicle.
Everything you need to know when driving
Model X displays on the instrument panel.
Key Not Inside
If Model X does not detect a key when you
press the brake, the instrument panel displays
a message telling you that a key is not inside.
If you receive this message, place the key in
the center console cup holder where Model X
can best detect it.
If Model X still does not detect the key, try
holding it against the center console,
immediately below the 12V power socket (see
12V Power Socket on page 25). If the key is
still not detected, remove the key

2.With Model X in Park, stand within 10 feet
(3 meters) and press and hold the top
center button on the key (Lock/Unlock All
button) until the hazard lights blink continuously.
Note: The hazard lights

About the Security System
If Model X does not detect a key nearby and a
locked door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds and the headlights and turn signals

Charging Instructions
Opening the Charge Port The charge port is located on the left side of
Model X, behind a door that is part of the rear
tail light assembly. Before charging, park
Model X to ensure that the charge cable easily reaches the charge port.
With Model X unlocked (or a recognized key is
within range) and in Park, press and release
the button on the Tesla charge cable to open the charge port door.
You can also open the charge port door using
any of these methods:

Note: If Model X is locked, the charge port
light does not light up.
If the charge port light turns red while
charging, a fault is detected. Check the instrument panel or touchscreen for a
message describing the fault. A fault can
occur due to something as common as a power outage. If a power outage occurs,
charging resumes automatically when power
is restored.
Note: When charging, particularly at high
currents, the refrigerant compressor and fan
operate as needed to keep the Battery cool.
Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during
charging.
Note: Air conditioning performance is
generally not affected by charging. However,
under certain circumstances (for example, you
are charging at high currents during a
particularly warm day), the air coming from
the vents may not be as cool as expected and
a message displays on the instrument panel.
This is normal behavior and ensures that the
Battery stays within an optimum temperature
range while charging to support longevity and
optimum performance.Warning: Never spray liquid at a high
velocity (for example, if using a pressure
washer) towards the charge port while
charging. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or
damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.
Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting
the charge cable or touching Stop Charging
on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of
the charge cable, the charge cable latch remains locked and Model X must be unlockedor able to recognize your key before you can
disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on the
connector handle to release the latch.
Alternatively, unlock the vehicle by
opening a door, using a key fob, or
touching Stop Charging on the
touchscreen. These methods unlock the
charge port as well.
2. Pull the connector from the charge port.
3. Push the charge port door closed.
Note:
If Model X is equipped with a motorized
charge port door, it automatically closes shortly after you remove the charge cable.Caution: Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model X plugged in when not in use. This maintains the Battery at the
optimum level of charge.
Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge
cable from the charge port (using the charge
handle release button, touchscreen, or mobile
app) do not work, carefully follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Model X is not actively
charging by displaying the charging
screen on the touchscreen. If necessary,
touch Stop Charging .
2. Open the rear trunk.
3. Pull the charge port
