2022 TESLA MODEL X battery

Warning: In snowy or icy conditions
Model X may experience traction loss
during regenerative braking, particularly
when in the Standard setting and/or not
using winter tires. Tesla recommends
using the Low setting (see To Set the
Regenerative Braking Level on page 66)
in snowy or icy conditions to help maintain vehicle stability.
The Energy app displays real-time feedbackon the amount of energy being gained by
regenerative braking. You can also display the
power meter on either side of the instrument
panel by choosing Energy using the scroll
button on the steering wheel (see Steering
Wheel on page 46).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using regenerative braking can depend on the
current state of the Battery and the charge
level setting that you are using. For example,
regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is too cold.
Note: If regenerative braking is limited, a
dashed yellow line displays on the power
meter.
To Set the Regenerative Braking Level
You can use the touchscreen to change the
level of regenerative braking:
1. Touch Controls > Driving > Regenerative
Braking .
2. Choose from two levels:

Climate Controls
Overview of Climate Controls
The climate controls are always available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the temperature, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air
conditioning, air distribution, air circulation, and fan speed to maintain your selected temperature.
To override these settings, touch Auto (see Customizing Climate Control on page 128).
The fan, heating, and air conditioning systems are powered by the Battery. Therefore, prolonged
use decreases driving range.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, market region, and settings, the information displayed may be slightly
different.
1. The front seats are equipped with heating pads that operate at three levels from 3 (highest) to
1 (lowest). When operating, the indicator turns red and displays the setting number.
If equipped with ventilated seats, the front seats are equipped with heating/cooling pads.
When operating, the top indicator turns red when heating or the bottom indicator turns blue
when cooling.
Note: If Model X is equipped with the optional cold weather package, you can also control
seat heaters in the rear seats, heated wipers, and heated steering wheel by touching Controls > Cold Weather (see Controls on page 117).
2. Touch the up or down arrow to set the cabin temperature. To apply a temperature setting to
both the driver and passenger side at the same time, touch SYNC TEMP on the temperature
popup that appears when you touch an arrow.
3. Touch the fan icon to customize and automate climate control settings for the front and rear
cabin. (See Customizing Climate Control on page 128.)
Note: Rear climate controls are available only if Model X is equipped with six or seven seating
positions.
4. The windshield defroster distributes air

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: 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.

Battery Information
About the Battery
Model X has one of the most sophisticated
battery systems in the world. The most
important way to preserve the Battery is to LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when
you are not using it. This is particularly
important if you are not planning to drive Model X for several weeks. When plugged in,
Model X wakes up when needed to
automatically maintain a charge level that
maximizes the lifetime of the Battery.
Note: When left idle and unplugged, your
vehicle periodically uses energy from the Battery for system tests and recharging the
12V battery when necessary.
There is no advantage to waiting until the
Battery

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.

Charging Status
The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only and may vary slightly
depending on the software version and market region.
1. Charging status information. For example, when Model X is charging, it displays the time
remaining until fully charged at the currently selected charge level. When a charging session is
scheduled, it displays when charging starts.
2. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. To choose between displaying distance
or energy percentage, touch Controls > Settings > Language & Units > Energy & Charging .
Note: A portion of the battery image may appear blue. This indicates that a small portion of
the energy stored in the battery is not available because the battery is cold. This is normal and
no reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
3. Charging rate per hour.
4. Estimated increase in driving distance (or energy) achieved so far in this charging session.
5. Current supplied/available from the connected power supply (see Changing Charge Settings
on page 159).
If connected to a 3-phase power supply, the available current represents the
current per phase and the 3-phase symbol displays.
6. Voltage supplied by the charge cable.
