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

app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in
does not deplete the 12V battery.
Note: In situations where Model X is unable to
detect the key (low battery, interference, etc.),
place it immediately below the 12V power
socket in the center console where Model X can best detect it.Warning: The power socket and an
accessory

Note: If regenerative braking is aggressively
slowing Model X (such as when your foot is
completely off the accelerator pedal at
highway speeds), the brake lights turn on to
alert others that you are slowing down.Warning: In snowy or icy conditions
Model X may experience traction loss
during regenerative braking, particularly
when in the Standard setting and/or not
using winter tires. Tesla recommends
using the Low setting (see To Set the
Regenerative Braking Level on page 73)
in snowy or icy conditions to help
maintain vehicle stability.
The Energy app displays real-time feedback
on the amount of energy being gained by
regenerative braking. You can also display the
power meter on either side of the instrument
panel by choosing Energy using the scroll
button on the steering wheel (see Steering
Wheel on page 53).
The amount of energy fed back to the Battery using regenerative braking can depend on thecurrent state of the Battery and the charge
level setting that you are using. For example,
regenerative braking may be limited if the Battery is already fully charged or if the
ambient temperature is too cold.
Note: If regenerative braking is limited, a
dashed yellow line displays on the power
meter.
To Set the Regenerative Braking Level
You can use the touchscreen to change the
level of regenerative braking:
1. Touch Controls > Driving > Regenerative
Braking .
2. Choose from two levels:

Warning: To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral
neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should exercise caution when using the climate control
system and seat heaters.
Note: The climate control system is powered by the high voltage battery. Therefore, prolonged use
decreases driving range.

Battery Information
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 VEHICLE 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.
Note: When left idle and unplugged, your
vehicle periodically uses energy from the Battery for system tests and recharging the
12V battery when necessary.
There is no advantage to waiting until the
Battery

Battery Warnings and CautionsWarning: The Battery has no parts that an
owner or a non-Tesla authorized service technician can service. Under no
circumstances should you open or tamper
with the Battery. Always contact Tesla to arrange for Battery servicing.Caution: If the Battery

If the charge port light turns red while
charging, a fault is detected. Check the instrument panel or touchscreen for a
message describing the fault. A fault can
occur due to something as common as a power outage. If a power outage occurs,
charging resumes automatically when power
is restored.
Note: When charging, particularly at high
currents, the refrigerant compressor and fan
operate as needed to keep the Battery cool.
Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during charging.
Note: Air conditioning performance is
generally not affected by charging. However,
under certain circumstances (for example, you
are charging at high currents during a
particularly warm day), the air coming from
the vents may not be as cool as expected and
a message displays on the instrument panel.
This is normal behavior and ensures that the Battery stays within an optimum temperature
range while charging to support longevity and
optimum performance.Warning: Never spray liquid at a high
velocity (for example, if using a pressure
washer) towards the charge port while
charging. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or
damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.
Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting
the charge cable or touching Stop Charging
on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of
the charge cable, the charge cable latch remains locked and Model X must be unlockedor able to recognize your key before you can
disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on the
connector handle to release the latch.
Alternatively, unlock the vehicle by
opening a door, using a key fob, or
touching Stop Charging on the
touchscreen. These methods unlock the
charge port as well.
2. Pull the connector from the charge port.
3. Push the charge port door closed.
Note: If Model X is equipped with a motorized
charge port door, it automatically closes shortly after you remove the charge cable.
Caution: Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model X plugged in when not in use. This maintains the Battery at the
optimum level of charge.
Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge
cable from the charge port (using the charge
handle release button, touchscreen, or mobile
app) do not work, carefully follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Model X is not actively
charging by displaying the charging
screen on the touchscreen. If necessary,
touch Stop Charging .
2. Open the rear trunk.
3. Pull the charge port

Charging Status
The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only and may vary slightly
depending on the software version and market region.
1. Charging status information. For example, when Model X is charging, it displays the time
remaining until fully charged at the currently selected charge level. When a charging session is
scheduled, it displays when charging starts.
2. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. To choose between displaying distance
or energy percentage, touch Controls > Display > Energy Display .
Note: A portion of the battery image may appear blue. This indicates that a small portion of
the energy stored in the battery is not available because the battery is cold. This is normal and
no reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
3. Charging rate per hour.
4. Estimated increase in driving distance (or energy) achieved so far in this charging session.
5. Current supplied/available from the connected power supply (see Changing Charge Settings
