(people and objects). Failure to do so
may result in damage or serious injury.
Note: The front trunk locks whenever closed

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
