Warning: Road holding is seriously
impaired if the tires are incorrectly
installed on the wheels.Removing and Installing Lug Nut Covers
If your Model X is equipped with lug nut
covers, you must remove them to access the
lug nuts.
To remove a lug nut cover:
1. Insert the curved part of the lug nut cover
tool (located in the glovebox for some
vehicles) into the hole at the base of the
Tesla "T".
Note: The lug nut cover tool can also be
purchased at an auto parts store or
through online retailers.
2. Maneuver the lug nut cover tool so that it
is fully inserted into the hole in the lug nut
cover.
3. Twist the lug nut cover tool so that the
curved part is touching the middle of the
lug nut cover.
4. Firmly pull the lug nut tool away from the
wheel until the lug nut cover is released.
To install the lug nut cover:
1. Align the lug nut cover into position.
2. Push firmly on the lug nut cover until it
fully snaps into place.
Caution: Make sure the lug nut cover
is fully secure before driving to
prevent it from falling off.

Understanding Tire MarkingsLaws require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire. It also provides
the tire identification number (TIN) for certification of safety standards, and in case of a recall.1Tire category. P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles.2Tire width. This 3-digit number is the width (in millimeters) of the tire from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge.3Aspect ratio. This 2-digit number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread
width. So, if the tread width is 205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the sidewall height is 102 mm.4Tire construction. R indicates that the tire is of Radial ply construction.5Wheel diameter. This 2-digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches.6Load index. This 2 or 3-digit number is the weight each tire can support. This number is
not always shown.

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.
Note: Tesla is not liable or responsible for
reimbursing services not dispatched through
Tesla Roadside Assistance.
Approved Methods for Transporting Note: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly
(under 3 mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short
distance (less than 30 feet or 10 meters) only
when Transport Mode is enabled (see Activate
Transport Mode on page 228) while the
vehicle is being winched onto a
