Opening
To open the front trunk:
1. Ensure that the area around the hood is
free of obstacles.
2. Touch Controls > Quick Controls > FRONT
TRUNK on the touchscreen, touch the
front trunk button on the mobile app, or
double-click the front trunk button on the key.
3. Pull the hood up.
When a door or trunk/liftgate is
open, the instrument panel displays
the Door Open indicator light. The
image of your Model X on the
touchscreen also displays the open
front trunk.Warning: Before opening or closing the
hood, it is important to check that the area around the hood is free of obstacles
(people and objects). Failure to do so
may result in damage or serious injury.
Note: The front trunk locks whenever closed
and you lock Model X using either the
touchscreen or externally using the key or
mobile app, you leave Model X carrying your key (if Walk-Away Locking on page 17 is
turned on), or when Valet mode is active (see Valet Mode on page 54).
Closing
The Model X hood is not heavy enough to
latch under its own weight and applying pressure on the front edge or center of the
hood can cause damage.
To properly close the hood:
1. Lower the hood until the striker touches
the latches.
2. Place both hands on the front of the hood
in the areas shown (in green), then press
down firmly to engage the latches.
3.
Carefully try to lift the front edge of the
hood to ensure that it is fully closed.Caution: To prevent damage:

Warning: Do not use LATCH anchors with child safety seats or booster seats that have an
integral safety belt where the combined weight of the child plus the child safety seat exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Child Safety Seats
38Model X Owner

Once installed, test the security of theinstallation before seating a child. Attempt to twist the child safety seat from side to side
and try to pull it away from the seat, then
check to ensure the anchors remain securely
in place.
Note: Lower LATCH anchors should not be
used with child seats or booster seats that
have an integrated safety belt in situations
where the combined weight of the child plus
the child safety seat is more than 65 lbs (29.5
kg). In these situations, use the seat belt
instead.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its
hook to the anchor point located on the back
of the second and third row (if equipped) seats.
Note: The location of anchor points may not
be readily visible but can be found by
identifying a slice in the seat

Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the
child safety seat is not loose:
1. Hold the child safety seat by the belt path
and try to slide the safety seat from side
to side and front to back.
2. If the seat moves more than one inch
(2.5 cm), it is too loose. Tighten the belt or
reconnect the LATCH retained child safety
seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a
different seat location or try another child
safety seat.
Child Safety Seat Warnings
Warning: Extreme hazard! Do not seat a
child on the front passenger seat even if
you are using a child safety seat. This seat
has an airbag in front of it. Although this airbag is disabled when Model X detects
a lightweight passenger, do not rely on technology to protect your child.Warning: Child safety seats are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulderbelt. A child could be endangered in a
crash if a child safety seat is not properly
secured in the vehicle.Warning: According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating positions.Warning: Do not use a forward facing
child safety seat until your child weighs
over 20 lbs (9 kg) and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a
child

Note: The front passenger occupancy sensor affects the operation of the passenger front airbags
only. The side airbags are not affected.Warning: If the front passenger airbag is not turning on or off as expected based on the
weight thresholds previously described, contact Tesla immediately.Warning: Never seat a child in a rear facing child seat on the front passenger seat, even if the
passenger airbag is off. All occupants age 12 and under must ride in the second and rear row
(if equipped) seats.Warning: To ensure accuracy of the occupant detection system, do not make any
modifications to the front passenger seat.Warning: Do not use seat covers on Model X. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-
mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. It can also reduce the accuracy of the occupant
detection system, if equipped.

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 2" hitchreceiver that can support an accessory carrier.
The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads of up to 120 lbs (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 40 lbs, the weight
threshold is sufficient for carrying two bicycles
weighing approximately 40 lbs each, or four bicycles weighing approximately 20 lbs each.
Caution: The Model X hitch is designed to
support up to 120 lbs (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 99). 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 102). The package also
includes Trailer Mode software (see Trailer
Mode on page 97).

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**245/45R19 110
V / YSAE Class III

Warning: The trailer tongue weight must
be approximately 10% of the total trailer weight without exceeding the maximumtongue weights provided in Carrying
Capacity. Loads that are balanced over
the wheels or heavier in the rear can
cause trailer sway, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.Warning: Always ensure that cargo is
secured in the trailer and will not shift.
Dynamic load shifts can cause loss of
vehicle control, resulting in serious injury
or death.
Trailer Mode
Trailer Mode must always be active when
towing a trailer. When you connect a trailer

Impact on RangeTowing a trailer and carrying accessories
increases vehicle weight and drag. As a result,
driving range can decrease significantly.
Although Trip Planner attempts to adjust
estimates based on Trailer Mode, actual
energy consumption may vary. Plan trip length
and charging destinations accordingly.
