Tire Care and Maintenance
Maintenance175

Seasonal Tire Types
Summer Tires
Your Model X may be originally equipped with high performance summer tires, all season
tires, or winter tires. Summer tires and all
season tires are designed for maximum dry
and wet road performance but are not
designed to perform well in winter conditions.
Tesla recommends using winter tires if driving
in cold temperatures or on roads where snow
or ice may be present. If not equipped with winter tires, contact Tesla for winter tire
recommendations.Warning: In cold temperatures or on snow
or ice, summer tires do not provide
adequate traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tires for winter conditions
is important to ensure the safety and
optimum performance of your Model X.
All-Season Tires
Your Model X may be originally equipped with
all-season tires. These tires are designed to
provide adequate traction in most conditions
year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy
conditions. All-season tires can be identified
by “ALL SEASON" and/or "M+S” (mud and
snow) on the tire sidewall.
Winter Tires
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy
or icy conditions. When installing winter tires,
always install a complete set of four tires at
the same time. Winter tires must be the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. Contact Tesla for winter tire
recommendations.
When equipped with winter tires, refer to the
tire warning label on the door pillar.
Winter tires can be identified by a
mountain/snow

performance of Model X and the safety of
its occupants. Any damage caused by
using or installing non-approved parts, or by performing non-approved

If Model X is in a collision, contact Tesla toensure that it is repaired with genuine Tesla
parts. Tesla has selected and approved body
shops that meet strict requirements for
training, equipment, quality, and customer
satisfaction.
Some repair shops and insurance companies
might suggest using non-original equipment
or salvaged parts to save money. However,
these parts do not meet Tesla

Vehicle Loading
Load Capacity Labeling It is important to understand how much
weight your Model X can safely carry. This
weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and any additional equipment added toyour Model X since it was manufactured.
One or more labels attached to the center
door pillar indicate how much weight Model X
can safely carry. Labels are visible when the front door is open.
1. Towing label (if equipped)
2. Tire and Loading Information label
3. Statutory Plate
Note: Towing capability is available only if
Model X is equipped with the Towing Package.
Warning: Overloading Model X has an
adverse effect on braking and handling,
which can compromise your safety or cause damage.Caution: Never load more than 175 lbs (80
kg) on the rear load

Instructions for Transporters
DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front motor in Model X generates power
when the wheels spin. Always transport Model X with all four tires off the ground.
Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at any
time during transport.
Warning: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR
VEHICLE WITH THE TIRES IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY
CAUSE THE SURROUNDING
COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.
Do not transport Model X using any method
that is not specified by Tesla. Adhere to the
instructions provided in the following sections
and observe all warnings and cautions provided. Damage caused by impropertransporting of your vehicle is not covered by
the warranty.
Approved Methods for Transporting Note: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly
(under 5 km/h) and for a very short distance
(less than 10 meters) only when Transport
Mode is enabled (see Activate Transport Mode
on page 205) while the vehicle is being
winched onto a

Disable the Self-Leveling AirSuspension System

system, it automatically self-levels, even when
power is off. To prevent damage, you must
activate Jack Mode to disable self-leveling:
1. Touch Controls > Suspension on the
touchscreen.
2. Press the brake pedal, then touch Very
High to maximize height.
3. Touch Jack.When Jack Mode is active, Model X

the instrument panel, along with a
message telling you that active
suspension is disabled.
Note: Jack Mode cancels when driving speed
exceeds 7 kph.
Warning: Failure to activate Jack Mode on
a vehicle equipped with the air
suspension system can result in the
vehicle becoming loose during transport,
which may cause significant damage.
Activate Transport Mode
Transport Mode keeps the parking brake
disengaged while winching Model X onto a
