Interior Storage and Electronics
Glove Box
To open the glove box, press the switch located on the side of the touchscreen. If you
leave the glove box open for five minutes, its
light automatically turns off.
Note: The glove box locks whenever Model X
is locked externally, using the key or walk-
away locking. It also locks when Model X is in Valet mode (see Valet Mode on page 51). It
does not lock when Model X is locked using
the touchscreen.
Warning: When driving, keep the glove
box closed to prevent injury to a
passenger if a collision or sudden stop
occurs.
USB Ports
Your Model X has two USB ports located onthe front of the center console that you can
use to connect USB devices. To play audio files stored on a USB drive connected to these
ports, see Playing Media from Devices on page
146. You can also use these ports to charge
USB devices.
In addition, Model X has two charge-only USB
ports located at the rear of the center console,
and another charge-only connection located
between the third row seats.
Note: You can charge four devices
simultaneously using the two ports at the
front of the center console and the two at the
rear of the console.
Note: Power is available whenever the vehicle
is considered "awake" The vehicle may be awake for many reasons. For example, when
using features such as Summon, or when
features such as Smart Preconditioning, Cabin Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog
Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle is alsoawake whenever the 12V battery is beingcharged or is in use, during HV charging, whenthe vehicle is communicating with the mobile
app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in
does not deplete the 12V battery.
12V Power Socket Your Model X has a power socket located on
the front of the center console. An additional
12V power socket is located in the rear trunk.
Power is available whenever the instrument
panel and touchscreen are on.
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: Power is available whenever the vehicle
is considered "awake" The vehicle may be awake for many reasons. For example, when
using features such as Summon, or when features such as Smart Preconditioning, Cabin
Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle is alsoawake whenever the 12V battery is beingcharged or is in use, during HV charging, when

Seating and Safety Restraints
Front and Rear Seats
Correct Driving Position The seat, head restraint, seat belt and airbags
work together to maximize your safety. Using
these correctly ensures greater protection.
Position the seat so you can wear the seat belt correctly, while being as far away from the
front airbag as possible:
1. Sit upright with both feet on the

serious injuries in a collision, as you could
slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure your seat back
is reclined no more than 30 degrees when
the vehicle is moving.Adjusting Second Row Monopost
Seats
A Model X equipped with monopost seats can
accommodate two or three passengers in the
second row, depending on the option chosen
at time of purchase. There are two ways to
adjust the position of these seats:
Page 29 of 224

1.Move seat forward/backward (up/down
on the control) and adjust the backrest
(left/right on the control).
2. Move seat forward/backward.
3. Adjust backrest.
Note: The backrest locks into position when
you release the lever. If a backrest is not
locked into position when a driving gear is engaged, the instrument panel displays analert for the unlocked backrest. Adjust the
backrest again, ensuring it locks into position.Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined can result in
serious injuries in a collision, as you could
slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than 30 degrees when the vehicle is moving.Adjusting Second Row Seat Backs
(Bench Seats)
If your Model X is equipped with two seating
rows, the second row bench seats can
accommodate up to three passengers. Use the
mechanical adjustment lever located at the side of each outboard seating position toadjust the seat backs. A bench seat is split
60/40 so the adjustment lever on the left side
moves the seat backs for both the left and
center seats, whereas the lever on the right
side moves the rightmost seat back only.
While pulling and holding the lever, move the
seat back to the desired position, and then
release the lever. When returning a seat back
to its upright position, try moving it forward or
back to ensure it is securely latched into
position.Warning: Riding in a moving vehicle with
the seat back reclined can result in
serious injuries in a collision, as you could
slide under the lap belt or be propelled into the seat belt. Ensure the backs of
occupied seats are reclined no more than 30 degrees when the vehicle is moving.

An Easy Entry button is located on the
backrest of each second row outboard bench
seat. This button makes it easy for passengers
to enter and exit the third row seating
positions. Press and release the Easy Entry button on the left outboard seat to tilt and
move the combined left and center seats
forward. Press and release the Easy Entry button on the right outboard seat to tilt and
move the right seat forward. After you use
Easy Entry to access the third row seats, push
the bench seats back to their seating position,
ensuring the seats are securely latched into
position by trying to move them forward and
rearward.

Seat Belts
Wearing Seat Belts
Using seat belts and child safety seats is the
most effective way to protect occupants if a
collision occurs. Therefore, wearing a seat belt is required by law in most jurisdictions.
Both the driver and passenger seats are
equipped with three-point inertia reel seat
belts. Inertia reel belts are automatically
tensioned to allow occupants to move
comfortably during normal driving conditions.
To securely hold child safety seats, all
passenger seating positions are equipped with
an automatic locking retractor (ALR) that, by
pulling the seat belt beyond the length
needed for a typical adult occupant, locks the
belt into place until the seat belt is unbuckled.
The seat belt reel automatically locks to prevent movement of occupants if Model X
experiences a force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact
in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder on the
instrument panel alerts you if a seat
belt for an occupied driver or
passenger seat is unbuckled. If the
belt remains unbuckled, the
reminder

3.With the webbing half unreeled, hold the
tongue plate and pull forward quickly. The
mechanism should lock automatically and
prevent further unreeling.
If a seat belt fails any of these tests, contact
Tesla immediately.
For information about cleaning seat belts, see
Seat Belts on page 180.
Seat Belt WarningsWarning: Seat belts should be worn by all
occupants at all times, even if driving for
a very short distance. Failure to do so
increases the risk of injury or death if a collision occurs.Warning: Secure small children in a
suitable child safety seat (see Child
Safety Seats on page 35). Always follow
the child safety seat manufacturer
