Cautions for Interior Cleaning
CAUTION: Using solvents (including alcohol),
alcohol-based gel products (such as hand
sanitizer), bleach, citrus, naphtha, or silicone-based
products or additives on interior components can
cause damage.
CAUTION: Statically-charged materials can cause
damage to the touchscreen or instrument panel.
WARNING: If you notice any damage on an airbag
or seat belt, contact Tesla immediately.
WARNING: Do not allow any water, cleaners, or
fabric to enter a seat belt mechanism.
WARNING: Exposure to chemical cleaners can be
hazardous and can irritate eyes and skin. Read and
observe the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the chemical cleaner.
Polishing, Touch Up, and Body
Repair
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body, you
can occasionally treat the paint surfaces with an
approved polish containing:
• Very mild abrasive to remove surface contamination
without removing or damaging the paint.
• Filling compounds that fill scratches and reduce their
visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating between the
paint and environmental elements.
Regularly inspect the exterior paint for damage. Treat
minor chips and scratches using a paint touch-up pen
(available for purchase from Tesla). Use the touch-up
pen after washing but before polishing or waxing.
Repair rock chips, fractures or scratches. Refer to
https://www.tesla.com/support/body-shop-support
more information on repair locations and available
services.
CAUTION: Do not use cutting pastes, color
restoration compounds, or polishes containing
harsh abrasives. These can scour the surface and
permanently damage the paint.
CAUTION: Do not use chrome polish or other
abrasive cleaners.
Using a Car Cover
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body when
Model X is not being used, use a genuine Tesla car cover.
Car covers can be purchased from Tesla. See

regularly cleaning them and checking that they are
properly attached. Replace floor mats if they become
excessively worn.
WARNING: To avoid potential interference with a
foot pedal, ensure that the driver's floor mat is
securely fastened, and never place an additional
floor mat on top of it. Floor mats should always
rest on top of the vehicle carpeting surface and
not on another floor mat or other covering.
