Software Updates
Loading New Software
Model X updates its software wirelessly,
providing new features throughout your term of ownership. Tesla recommends that you
install software updates as soon as they are
available. The first time you enter Model X
after an update is made available, a scheduling window displays on the touchscreen. The
scheduling window displays again at the end
of your first driving session.
Note: Some software updates can take up to
three hours to complete. Model X must be in
Park while the new software is being installed.
To ensure the fastest and most reliable
delivery of software updates, leave the Wi-Fi
turned on and connected whenever possible
(see Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 151).
When a software update is available, a yellow
clock icon appears on the touchscreen
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. Park so 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:
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, Model X must be unlocked
or able to recognize your key before you can
disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on a Tesla
connector to release the latch. You can
also touch Stop Charging on the charging
screen (see Changing Charge Settings on
page 159).
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 when
you remove the charge cable.
Caution: Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model X plugged in when not inuse. This maintains the Battery at the
optimum level of charge.

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 your glovebox) into the hole at the base of the Tesla "T".
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, align it into
position and push firmly until it fully snaps into
place.
Seasonal Tire Types
Summer Tires
Your Model X may be originally equipped with high performance summer tires, all season
tires, or winter tires. Summer tires and all
season tires are designed for maximum dry
and wet road performance but are not
designed to perform well in winter conditions.
Tesla recommends using winter tires if driving
in cold temperatures or on roads where snow
or ice may be present. If not equipped with winter tires, contact Tesla for winter tire
recommendations.Warning: In cold temperatures or on snow
or ice, summer tires do not provide
adequate traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tires for winter conditions
is important to ensure the safety and
optimum performance of your Model X.
All-Season Tires
Your Model X may be originally equipped with
all-season tires. These tires are designed to
provide adequate traction in most conditions
year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy
conditions. All-season tires can be identified
by “ALL SEASON" and/or "M+S” (mud and
snow) on the tire sidewall.
Winter Tires
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy
or icy conditions. When installing winter tires,
always install a complete set of four tires at
the same time. Winter tires must be the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. Contact Tesla for winter tire
recommendations.
When equipped with winter tires, refer to the
tire warning label on the door pillar.
Winter tires can be identified by a
mountain/snow

Vehicle Telematics
Model X is equipped with electronic modules that monitor and record data from various
vehicle systems, including the motor, driver
assistance components, Battery, braking and
electrical systems. The electronic modules
record information about various driving and
vehicle conditions, including braking,
acceleration, trip and other related
information regarding your vehicle. These
modules also record information about the
vehicle
