Your vehicle should generally be serviced on an as-needed basis. However, Tesla
recommends the following maintenance items
and intervals, as applicable to your vehicle, to ensure continued reliability and efficiency of
your Model X.

in

Checking and Adjusting Tire PressuresFollow these steps when tires are cold andModel X has been stationary for over three
hours:
1. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information
label located on the driver

Punctured Tires
A puncture eventually causes the tire to lose pressure, which is why it is important to check
tire pressures frequently. Permanently repair
or replace punctured or damaged tires as
soon as possible.
Your tubeless tires may not leak when
penetrated, provided the object remains in the tire. If, however, you feel a sudden vibration or
ride disturbance while driving, or you suspect a tire is damaged, immediately reduce yourspeed. Drive slowly, while avoiding heavy
braking or sharp steering and, when safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Arrange to have Model X
transported to a Tesla Service Center, or to a nearby tire repair center.
Note: In some cases, you can temporarily
repair small tire punctures (under 1/4” (6
mm)) using an optional tire repair kit available
from Tesla. This allows you to slowly drive
Model X to Tesla or to a nearby tire repair
facility.Warning: Do not drive with a punctured
tire that has not been repaired, even if the puncture has not caused the tire to
de

Warning: Road holding is seriously
impaired if the tires are incorrectly
installed on the wheels.Removing and Installing Lug Nut Covers
If your Model X is equipped with lug nut
covers, you must remove them to access the
lug nuts.
To remove a lug nut cover:
1. Insert the curved part of the lug nut cover
tool (located in the glovebox for some
vehicles) into the hole at the base of the
Tesla "T".
Note: The lug nut cover tool can also be
purchased at an auto parts store or
through online retailers.
2. Maneuver the lug nut cover tool so that it
is fully inserted into the hole in the lug nut
cover.
3. Twist the lug nut cover tool so that the
curved part is touching the middle of the
lug nut cover.
4. Firmly pull the lug nut tool away from the
wheel until the lug nut cover is released.
To install the lug nut cover:
1. Align the lug nut cover into position.
2. Push firmly on the lug nut cover until it
fully snaps into place.
Caution: Make sure the lug nut cover
is fully secure before driving to
prevent it from falling off.
