Touchscreen Overview
10MODEL X Owner

Overview of Climate Controls
Climate controls are available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto, which
maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the cabin temperature
while in the
Auto setting, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air conditioning, air distribution, and fan
speed to maintain the cabin at your selected temperature.
Touch the displayed temperature at the bottom of the touchscreen to access the main climate controls screen, where you can adjust your climate preferences. You can revert back to Auto at any time by touching
Auto. Touch the
power button on the main climate controls screen to toggle on or
off. For quick access to common controls, touch <
or > to display the climate popup.
NOTE: The climate control system is powered by the high voltage Battery. Therefore, prolonged use decreases
driving range.
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.
Adjusting Climate Control Settings
NOTE: Easily adjust your climate preferences, such as turning on the seat heater or changing the cabin temperature,
hands-free by using voice commands (see
Voice Commands on page 148).
NOTE: For one-touch access to seat heaters and defrosters, you can add these controls to My Apps. See
Customizing My Apps on page 11.
1.
Touch to turn the climate control system on or off.
2.
Touch to adjust the climate settings for the front cabin.
3.
Choose where air flows into the front cabin (windshield, face-level, or foot-level vents). You can choose one or
more vents.
4.
Touch to adjust the climate settings for the rear cabin. If Auto is enabled and a passenger is detected, the set
temperature is maintained for the rear cabin (see Adjusting the Front and Rear Vents on page 139).
NOTE: Enable Sync to set the same temperature for the front and back cabins.
Climate Controls
136MODEL X Owner

NOTE: When you split a vent into two separate air flows, the air flow in each direction is not as strong as when all air
is
flowing in a single direction.
NOTE: Outside air is drawn into Model X through the grill in front of the windshield. Keep the grill clear of
obstructions, such as leaves and snow.
Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp
The Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp settings allow you
to keep the climate control system running when in Park,
even after you

2. Engage Park. The Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp
settings are available only when Model X is in Park.
3.
If necessary, adjust the climate settings.
4.
On the climate controls screen, touch Keep Climate
On, Dog, or Camp.
NOTE: You can also control Dog and Camp from the
mobile app, by swiping up from the gray bar on the Climate screen.
The climate control system attempts to maintain your climate settings until you shift out of Park or manually
turn it
off. Avoid using Keep Climate On, Dog, or Camp
when the Battery

Use voice commands to easily control settings and
preferences without using the touchscreen. You can ask
Model X to do just about anything, such as adjusting
climate controls and media preferences. Available
commands include most features that are managed by the touchscreen except driving-related commands, for example shifting drive modes.
Voice commands are designed to understand natural
requests. You can use voice commands to:

About the Security System
If Model X does not detect a key nearby and a locked
door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds. The headlights and turn signals also
flash. To deactivate the
alarm, press any button on the key fob.
To manually enable or disable the alarm system, touch
Controls > Safety > Security Alarm. When enabled,
Model X activates its alarm one minute after you exit,
the doors lock, and a recognized key is no longer
detected.
A battery-backed siren (if equipped) sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model X does not detect a key nearby. If you also want
this siren to sound in situations where the vehicle
detects motion inside the cabin, enable Tilt/Intrusion
(see Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped) on page 150).
NOTE: If Model X is in Sentry Mode (see How to Use
Sentry Mode (Camera + App) on page 153), you must
disable Sentry Mode before you can disable the Security
alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion alarm.
Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped)
Depending on configuration, market region, and date of
manufacture, your vehicle may not be equipped with this
feature.
The Security Alarm must be on to enable Tilt/Intrusion.
Tilt/Intrusion sounds the alarm in your vehicle if Model X
detects motion inside the cabin, or is moved or tilted
(for example, with a tow truck or jack). To enable, touch
Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
The intrusion sensor automatically disables in situations where the climate control system is operating when you leave your vehicle. To override, you can manually turn the Tilt/Intrusion Sensor on again after choosing Keep
Climate On, Dog, or Camp Mode.
The tilt/intrusion sensor automatically re-enables at the start of every drive cycle.
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that moves inside
your locked vehicle, remember to turn
off Tilt/Intrusion.
If this setting is on, any motion detected inside
Model X
activates the intrusion alarm.
Enhanced Anti-Theft Upgrade (if
equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Enhanced Anti-Theft upgrade, the horn sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model X does not detect a
key nearby. If
Tilt/Intrusion is on, the horn also sounds if
Model X detects motion inside the cabin or if the vehicle
is moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck or jack).
To turn the Tilt/Intrusion detection system on or
off,

touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
PIN to Drive
To increase security, you can prevent Model X from
being driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal
Identification
Number) is entered. To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety > PIN to Drive and follow the on-
screen prompts to create a driving PIN.
When enabled, in addition to entering the 4-digit driving PIN to drive, you must also use it to enter Valet mode for the
first time and create the 4-digit valet PIN to enter
and exit Valet mode. In Valet mode,
Model X can be
driven without the need for the valet to enter a driving PIN. The
PIN to Drive setting is disabled whenever Valet
mode is active.
If you forget your driving PIN, touch the link to enter your Tesla login credentials on the PIN to Drive popup,
then follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that your touchscreen is
unresponsive, you may be unable to enter the PIN. In this case,
first try to restart the touchscreen (see Restarting
the Touchscreen on page 9). If the touchscreen is still
unresponsive, you can still bypass PIN to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the Tesla mobile app.
Glovebox PIN
For additional security, you can protect the contents in
your glovebox with a 4-digit PIN. To enable this setting,
touch
Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN and follow the
on-screen prompts. When enabled, you are prompted to
enter the PIN to open the glovebox. To disable this
setting, select the toggle to disable and then enter the PIN.
If you forget your glovebox PIN, reset it by entering your Tesla login credentials, then follow the on-screen
prompts.
NOTE: Using a Glovebox PIN allows the glovebox to be
opened even when
Model X is in Valet mode.
Speed Limit Mode
Speed Limit Mode allows you to limit acceleration and
limit the maximum driving speed to a chosen value
between
50 and 120 mph (80 and 193 km/h). The first
time you use this feature, you must create a 4-digit PIN
that you must use to enable and disable Speed Limit Mode. When enabled and the driving speed approaches within approximately
3 mph (5 km/h) of the maximum
speed, a chime sounds, the
instrument cluster displays a
message, and
Model X sends a notification to the mobile
app. You can also touch
Security > Speed Limit Mode to
enable from the Tesla mobile app. To enable Speed Limit Mode:

Toggle between Scheduled Departure and Scheduled Charging by touching
Controls > Charging > Switch to
Scheduled Charging/Scheduled Departure when
Model X is in Park.
NOTE: Scheduled Charging/Scheduled Departure
settings are also available on the Climate Controls
screen and in the Tesla mobile app.
Think of Scheduled Charging as "When do I want
charging to start?" and think of
Scheduled Departure
Off-Peak Charging which is "When do I want charging to
be complete?"
Scheduled Charging can be used together with
Scheduled Departure Preconditioning but not with
Scheduled Departure Off-Peak Charging.
Scheduled Charging/Scheduled Departure settings are
automatically saved for each location.
NOTE: If you plug in Model X with both Off-Peak
Charging and Scheduled Charging deselected, your
vehicle charges immediately.
Using Scheduled Charging
Use Scheduled Charging to specify a daily time in which
you want
Model X to start charging.
With Scheduled Charging selected, enable the feature
then set a daily time to start charging.
NOTE: Scheduled Charging starts charging immediately
if
Model X is plugged in up to six hours after the
scheduled start time. However, if
Model X is plugged in
after six hours of the scheduled charging time, charging may not start until the scheduled time on the next day.
Using Scheduled Departure
Use Scheduled Departure to set a daily time when you
want
Model X to be ready to drive. Model X
automatically calculates when it needs to start preconditioning and/or charging. This ensures that charging is complete and/or the cabin climate and Battery are preconditioned by your departure time.
When Scheduled Departure is displayed, touch
Schedule to set a daily time when you want Model X to
be ready to drive. Specify a time, then touch
Settings to
enable one or both of the following departure features.
When plugging in with
Off-Peak Charging enabled, the
vehicle
briefly draws power (you may hear clicking) to
calculate the necessary charging start time.

To help thaw any ice on the charge port latch, press the Defrost Car button in your Tesla Mobile App to defrost your
