Getting More Keys
If you lose a key or require an additional one,
contact Tesla. Model X can recognize up to
eight keys.
When ordering a new key for Model X, take all
available keys with you for reprogramming.
Opening Doors from the Interior
To open a front door, pull the interior door handle toward you.
You can also use the touchscreen to open and
close doors when inside Model X. TouchControls > Doors , then choose the door you
want to open or close. In addition, if Model X
is equipped with the premium upgrades
package, when you press the brake pedal, the
driver

Starting and Powering
Off
Starting When you open a door, Model X powers on
the instrument panel and touchscreen and you
can operate all controls.
To drive Model X:
1. PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL - Model X
powers on and is ready to drive.
2. SELECT A GEAR - Move the gear lever all
the way down for Drive and all the way up
for Reverse. See Shifting Gears on page
52.
Note: If Passive Entry is off and you do not
press the brake pedal to start Model X within
approximately five minutes, a message
displays on the instrument panel and you must
use the key to lock then unlock Model X again before starting the vehicle.
Everything you need to know when driving
Model X displays on the instrument panel.
Key Not Inside
If Model X does not detect a key when you
press the brake, the instrument panel displays
a message telling you that a key is not inside.
If you receive this message, place the key in
the center console cup holder where Model X can best detect it.
If Model X still does not detect the key, try
holding it against the center console,
immediately below the 12V power socket (see
12V Power Socket on page 138). If the key is
still not detected, remove the key

Gears
Shifting Gears When Model X is in Park, you must press the
brake to shift to another gear.
Move the lever up or down to change gears.
If you try to shift into a gear that the current
driving speed prohibits, a chime sounds and
the gear does not change.
Reverse
Push the lever all the way up and release. You
can only shift into Reverse when Model X is
stopped or moving less than 8 km/h. If moving
less than 1.6 km/h, you must press the brake.
Neutral
Push the lever up or down to the first position
and release to shift into Neutral. Neutral allows
Model X to roll freely when you are not
pressing the brake pedal.
If Model X is in Park and you use the
touchscreen to release the parking brake
( Controls > E-Brake & Power Off), Model X
shifts into Neutral (see Parking Brake on page
66).
Model X automatically shifts into Park when
you exit. To leave Model X in Neutral, use the touchscreen to engage Tow mode (see
Keeping Your Vehicle in Neutral (Tow Mode)
on page 52).
Drive
Push the lever all the way down and release.
You can shift into Drive when Model X is stopped or moving less than 8 km/h in
Reverse. If Model X is moving less than
1.6 km/h, you must press the brake to shift into Drive.
Park
Press the end of the gear selector while Model X is stopped. Whenever Model X is inPark, the parking brake is applied.
Model X automatically shifts into Park
whenever:

An ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) fault is detected. See Brakes on page 65.

Brakes
Braking Systems
Warning: Properly functioning braking
systems are critical to ensure safety. If you experience a problem with the brake
pedal, brake caliper, or any component of
a Model X braking system, contact Tesla
immediately.
Model X has an anti-lock braking system
(ABS) that prevents the wheels from locking
when you apply maximum brake pressure. This
improves steering control during heavy
braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the
ABS constantly monitors the speed of each
wheel and varies the brake pressure according
to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal.
This demonstrates that the ABS is operating
and is not a cause for concern. Keep firm and
steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.
The ABS indicator

Traction Control
How It Works The traction control system constantly
monitors the speed of the front and rear
wheels. If Model X experiences a loss of
traction, the system minimizes wheel spin by
controlling brake pressure and motor power.
By default, the traction control system is on. Under normal conditions, it should remain on
to ensure maximum safety.
This indicator

Vehicle Hold
When Model X is stopped, Vehicle Hold can
continue to apply the brakes even after you
remove your foot from the brake pedal. When
driving on a hill or on a
