Acceleration Modes
The acceleration settings available on your Model X vary depending on options chosen at
time of purchase:

Rear View Camera
Camera Location
Model X is equipped with a rear view camera
located above the rear license plate.
Whenever you shift into Reverse, the
touchscreen displays the view from the
camera. Lines show your driving path based
on the position of the steering wheel. These
lines adjust appropriately as you move the
steering wheel.
Note: Visual feedback from the parking
sensors displays on the instrument panel (see
Park Assist on page 76).
To display the view from the camera at any
time:
Open the app launcher then
touch the camera icon.Warning: Never depend on the rear view
camera to inform you if the area behind
you is free of objects and/or people when
reversing. The camera may not detect
objects or barriers that can potentially
cause damage or injury. In addition, several external factors can reduce the
performance of the camera, including a
dirty or obstructed lens. Therefore,
depending on the rear view camera to
determine if Model X is approaching an
obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Use the camera forguidance purposes only. It is not intendedto replace your own direct visual checks
and is not a substitute for careful driving.Cleaning the Camera
To ensure a clear picture, keep the camera
lens clean, and free of obstructions. Remove
any buildup of dirt by occasionally wiping the camera lens with a soft damp cloth.Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
the surface of the camera lens.

Towing and Accessories
The towing package allows you to tow a trailer
with your Model X. It also allows you to carry skis, snowboards, bicycles, etc. by attaching
an accessory carrier to the hitch.
Carrying Accessories The Model X towing package has a 50 mm ball
coupling that can support an accessory
carrier.
The ball coupling is designed to support vertical loads of up to 54 kg. When carrying
bicycles or other items on the Model X hitch, always check to ensure that the maximum
weight is not exceeded. When calculating
weight, remember to include the weight of the
accessory carrier. For example, assuming the
carrier weighs 14 kg, the weight threshold is sufficient for carrying two bicycles weighing
approximately 20 kg each, or four bicycles
weighing approximately 10 kg each.
Caution: The Model X hitch is designed to
support up to 54 kg. Exceeding this
maximum weight can cause significant
damage.Caution: Do not attempt to install a
carrier on a Model X that is not equipped
with the towing package. Doing so can
cause significant damage.
To install and use an accessory carrier, the tow
hitch must be connected (see Connecting the
Tow Hitch on page 93). Then follow the
instructions provided with your accessory
carrier. Observe all regulations and legal requirements in your state/region that apply
to carrying accessories.
The Model X towing package includes the
wiring necessary for using an accessory carrier
equipped with lights (see Electrical
Connections on page 95). The package also
includes Trailer Mode software (see Trailer
Mode on page 90).

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 189).
***A Model X with 19" winter tires supports towing ONLY if equipped with these specific tires:
