◦ Double-click to open the front trunk.
4. Falcon wing doors
◦ Double-click to open/close the associated falcon
wing door.
◦ Single-click to stop movement of the associated
falcon wing door. Subsequently double-clicking
reverses movement of the falcon wing door. For
example if the door was opening, it closes, and
vice versa.
NOTE: Falcon wing doors are designed to
proactively detect obstacles that prevent the
doors from moving when an obstacle is detected.
WARNING: Model X falcon wing doors have
several sensors to detect the presence of an
object in the door's path. In most cases,
when an object is detected, the door stops
moving. However, the sensors are unable to
detect all areas under all circumstances,
particularly when closing, Therefore, you
must monitor the movement of falcon wing
doors to ensure the door's path of
movement is free of obstacles, staying
prepared at all times to proactively intervene
to stop the door from contacting an object
(including a person). Failure to do so can
cause serious damage or bodily injury.
You do not need to point the key fob at Model X, but
you must be within operating range (which varies
depending on the strength of the key fob's battery).
If Model X is unable to detect the key fob, the
touchscreen displays a message indicating that a key
fob is not inside. Place the key fob where Model X can
best detect it, which is below the low voltage power
socket (see Key Fob Not Inside on page
Radio equipment on a similar frequency can affect the
key fob. If this happens, move the key fob at least 30 cm
away from other electronic devices (phone, laptop, etc).
If the key fob does not work, you may need to change
its battery. If the key fob's battery is discharged, you can
open Model X by following the unlocking procedure (see
Unlocking When the Key Fob Doesn't Work on page
14).
CAUTION: Remember to bring the key fob with
you when you drive. Although you can drive
Model X away from its key fob, you will be unable
to power it back on after it powers off.
CAUTION: Protect the key fob from impact, high
temperatures, and damage from liquids. Avoid
contact with solvents, waxes and abrasive
cleaners.
Opening and Closing
Replacing the Key Fob Battery
The key fob's battery lasts for approximately a year with
normal use. When the battery is low, a message displays
on the instrument panel. Follow these steps to replace it:
NOTE: Tesla recommends replacing the battery in all key
fobs at the same time.
1. With the key fob placed button-side down on a soft
surface, use a small flat-bladed tool or fingernail to
release the bottom cover.
NOTE: If a lanyard is attached to the key fob, you can
release the bottom cover by placing your thumb
against the "X" on the bottom cover, then firmly
pulling the lanyard toward you (hence pushing the
key fob off of its cover). You can also pry the cover
off by placing a small flat-bladed tool, a fingernail, or
the Tesla-provided tool against the lanyard cord.
2. Remove the battery by carefully releasing it from the
retaining clips at an angle.
61).
3. Insert the new battery (type CR2354) with the '+'
side facing up. The battery fits snugly so you must
slide it into position at an angle toward the Positive
contact (the contact located near the center of the
key fob), then press down firmly on the other side,
ensuring it is held firmly in its intended position.
