Driving; Driver Profiles - Tesla MODEL X 2021 Owner's Manual

Creating a Driver Profile
When you first adjust the driver's seat,
steering yoke position, or exterior side
mirrors, the touchscreen prompts you to
create a driver profile to save these
adjustments. Your profile also saves various
preferences you make while customizing
Model X.
To add a new driver profile,
touch the driver profile icon
at the top of the Controls
screen. Then touch Driver
Profile Settings > Add New
Driver, type the driver's
name and touch Create
Profile. Follow the onscreen
instructions to save mirror
and steering wheel position
to the driver profile. Check
the Use Easy Entry
checkbox if you want to
save (or use existing) Easy
Entry settings in which the
driver's seat and the
steering yoke are
automatically adjusted to
make it easy to enter and
exit Model X.
If you change the position of the driver's seat,
steering yoke, or exterior side mirrors after
you have saved or chosen a driver profile, the
touchscreen prompts you to Save the new
position or Restore the previously saved
position (other settings are automatically
saved). To change a setting without saving or
restoring, just ignore the prompt.
NOTE: Valet mode is a built-in driver profile
that limits speed and restricts access to some
Model X features (see
56).
NOTE: To stop automatic adjustments that
are in process based on a driver's profile,
touch Stop on the Driver Profile dropdown
menu. Automatic adjustments also stop if you
manually adjust a seat, mirror, or the steering
yoke.
Easy Entry
You can define an Easy Entry setting that
moves the steering yoke and driver's seat to
make it easy to enter and exit Model X. Any
driver can use the Easy Entry setting by
associating it with their driver's profile. When

driver's profile, the steering yoke and driver's
seat automatically adjust when in Park and
the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, allowing an

Saved Settings

customize your Model X are automatically
saved to your driver's profile. Once saved, a
green check mark appears next to the driver
profile icon on the touchscreen. Examples of
automatically saved driver profile settings are:
• Navigation, temperature, lights and
display settings.
• Autopilot and driving preferences.
