Keyless Locking and UnlockingLocking and unlocking Model X is convenient.
Although you must be carrying a valid key,
there is no need to use it. Model X has sensors
that can recognize the presence of a key
within a range of approximately three feet
(one meter). So you can keep your key in your
pocket or purse and Model X detects it.
If equipped with this convenience option, when you walk up to Model X carrying your
key, doors automatically unlock and pressing

the falcon wing doors (and trunk) to a lower
height, even if no obstacle is detected. If you
override this height on the touchscreen, Model
X remembers your choice from your location.
The next time you open the falcon wing doors
in this location, Model X opens them to the
height you saved.Warning: Applying adhesive products
such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating,
etc. on the outside of the falcon wing
doors can
