Attaching a Lanyard
The Model X key supports the use of a small
lanyard. To attach a lanyard, release the
bottom cover as described above. Place the
lanyard over the pin on the back side of the
key. Re-align the cover and snap into place.
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. Touch
Controls > Quick Controls, 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's door automatically closes.
Note: To prevent children from opening falcon
wing doors using the interior handles, use the
touchscreen, Controls > Vehicle > Child-
Protection Lock, to turn on the child-
protection locks (see
page 12).
Opening and Closing
Child-Protection Lock
Opening and Closing Front Doors
from Outside Model X
Model X doors are electrically powered. When
you approach Model X carrying the key, you
can specify that you want to unlock only the
driver's door by touching Controls > Vehicle >
Driver Door Unlock Mode.
If equipped, you can also set the driver's door
to open automatically upon your approach.
The door partially opens (between 20° and
45° depending on obstacles detected by
sensors). Touch Controls > Vehicle >
Automatic Doors. If this setting is on, you can
also open the driver's door by double-clicking
the key's lock/unlock button. A subsequent
double-click opens the front passenger door.
Caution: The front doors may not fully
open or close automatically when parked
on a very steep hill. Never rely on Model X
to fully open or close the doors for you
when parked on a steep hill.
Note: Depending on date of manufacture and
options chosen at time of purchase, your
Model X may not be equipped with automatic
doors.
Whenever a door is open, the Door
Open indicator displays on the
instrument panel. Also, the image of
the Model X on the touchscreen's
Controls > Quick Controls window
also provides a visual representation
of an open door or trunk.
To close doors, you can:
• Manually push them shut.
• Use the touchscreen (Controls > Quick
Controls) to close each individual door (or
trunk).
• Single-click or triple-click the key's lock/
unlock button (if the Close All with Key
Fob setting is on, only a single click is
needed to close all doors and trunks—a
triple-click is needed if the setting is off).
Note: Powered doors stop moving if an
obstacle is detected.
Warning: Before allowing an automated
feature to open or close a front door
(rather than doing so manually), it is
important to check that the area around
on
the door is free of obstacles (such as
people and objects). You must proactively
monitor the door's movement to ensure
that it does not contact a person or
