Braking Systems
Warning: Properly functioning braking
systems are critical to ensure safety. If you experience a problem with the brake
pedal, brake caliper, or any component of
a Model X braking system, contact Tesla
immediately.
Model X has an anti-lock braking system
(ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking
when you apply maximum brake pressure. This
improves steering control during heavy
braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the
ABS constantly monitors the speed of each
wheel and varies the brake pressure according
to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal.
This demonstrates that the ABS is operating
and is not a cause for concern. Keep firm and
steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.
The ABS indicator

Vehicle Hold
When Model X is stopped, Vehicle Hold can
continue to apply the brakes even after you
remove your foot from the brake pedal. When
driving on a hill or on a

Towing Capacity
The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue
weight, must never exceed the following:TiresMaximum Towing Capacity*Maximum Tongue Weight**19"***, 20" or 22"2250 kg90 kg
*Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 450 kg. Thebraking system must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions providedby the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and
maintained.
**The tongue weight is the downward force that the weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It must not be less than 4% of the trailer load. Carrying a significant amount of equipment,
passengers, or cargo in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can handle, which also
reduces the maximum towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated assuming the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is not exceeded. The GVWR is printed on the Statutory
Plate (see Statutory Plate on page 180).
***A Model X with 19" winter tires supports towing ONLY if equipped with these specific tires:

Towing Guidelines
Model X is designed primarily as a passenger-
carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer puts additional load on the motor, drive train,brakes, tires, and suspension and significantly
decreases range. If you decide to tow a trailer,
proceed with caution and follow these general
guidelines:

caution when driving.Warning: Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model X.
When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it
