Loading New Software
Model X updates its software wirelessly,
providing new features throughout your term of ownership. The
first time you enter Model X
after an update is made available, a scheduling

Note: Some software updates can take from
two to three hours to complete. Model X must be in P (Park) when 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

These labels are there for your safety.Warning: In the unlikely event that a fire occurs, immediately contact your local fireemergency responders.Charging Equipment
Charging equipment designed
specifically to
charge your Model X is available from Tesla. A
Tesla Wall Connector, which installs in your
garage, is the fastest way to charge Model X at home.
In several market regions, Model X is equipped
with a Mobile Connector and the adapter(s)
you need to plug into commonly used power outlets. When using the Mobile Connector,
first plug the Mobile Connector into the power
outlet, then plug in Model X. For more
information about your Mobile Connector, see
the Mobile Connector Owner

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 Model X 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.
There is no advantage to waiting until the

Opening the Charge PortThe charge port is located on the passenger
side of Model X, behind a door that is part of
the rear tail light assembly.
Park Model X so that the charge cable easily
reaches the charge port.
With Model X unlocked, or a recognized key
nearby, press and release the button on a Tesla
charge cable to open the charge port door. If the cable you are using does not have this
button, you can also open the charge port door using any of these methods:

During ChargingDuring charging, the charge port pulses green
and charging status displays on the instrument
panel. The frequency at which the charge

Changing Charge SettingsThe charge settings screen displays on the
touchscreen whenever the charge port door is
open.
To display charge settings at any time, touch the Battery icon on the top of the
touchscreen, or touch Controls > Charging
(located in the upper right portion of the
Controls screen).
Note: The following illustration is provided for
demonstration purposes only and may vary
slightly depending on the software version
and market region of your Model X.
1. Charge status messages (such as
Charging Scheduled, Charging In
Progress) display here.
2. To adjust the charge limit, touch Set Charge Limit, then drag the slider bar. You
can charge to any level from 50% to 100%
based on your driving needs. The setting
you choose applies to both immediate and scheduled charging sessions.
3.Location-specific schedule. With Model X
in Park, set a specific time when you want
Model X to begin charging at the current
location. If, at the scheduled time, Model X
is not plugged in at the location, it will
start charging as soon as you plug it in as
long as you are plugging it in within six
hours of the scheduled time. If you plug in
after six hours, Model X does not start
charging until the scheduled time on the
next day. To override this setting, touch Start Charging or Stop Charging (see
item 4). When you set a scheduled
charging time, Model X displays the set
time on the instrument panel and the
touchscreen.
4. Touch to open the charge port door or to start (or stop) charging.
5. The current automatically sets to the maximum current available from the
attached charge cable, unless it was
previously reduced to a lower level.
If needed, touch the up/down arrows to change the current (for example, you may
want to reduce the current if you are
concerned about overloading a domestic wiring circuit shared by other equipment).
It is not possible to set the charging
current to a level that exceeds the
maximum available from the attached
charge cable.
When you change the current, Model X
remembers the location. So if you
subsequently charge at the same location,
you do not need to change it again.
Note: If Model X automatically reduced a charging location
