Keys and Doors
When you stop Model X and engage Park, you can
choose whether you want doors to unlock or remain
locked. To do so, touch Controls > Vehicle > Unlock on
Park. When enabled, doors automatically unlock when
you engage Park.
You can also unlock doors by pressing the Park button
on the end of the drive stalk a second time (for example,
after pressing it one time to engage Park).
NOTE: If a door or trunk is still open when you lock
Model X, it locks when you close it.
Door Unlock Mode
You can choose to unlock only the driver's door when
you approach your vehicle carrying your key fob. To do
so, touch Controls > Vehicle > Driver Door Unlock Mode.
Child-Protection Lock
Model X has child-protection locks on the falcon wing
doors and liftgate to prevent them from being opened
using interior handles. Use the touchscreen to turn child-
protection locks on or off. Touch Controls > Vehicle >
Child- Protection Lock.
NOTE: It is recommended that you turn child-protection
locks on whenever children are seated in the rear seats.
Drive Away Locking
Model X automatically locks all doors (including the
trunks) whenever your driving speed exceeds 8 km/h.
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks automatically lock whenever you walk
away carrying the key fob or if the key fob is otherwise
not detected by your vehicle (not present, dead battery,
etc.).
To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls > Vehicle >
Walk-Away Door Lock.
Check the Exclude Home checkbox to prevent doors
from locking when you walk away carrying the key fob
when Model X is parked at the location you have
designated as Home. For details on how to designate a
location as Home, see
Home, Work, and Favorite
Destinations on page
145.
NOTE: If Model X detects an authenticated key fob for
five minutes after you exit the vehicle and close all
doors, Walk-Away Door Lock disables and doors do not
lock when you leave with the key fob. You will need to
manually lock Model X until after your next drive.

NOTE: If all doors are closed and you use the key fob to
unlock Model X, walk away locking is temporarily
suspended for one minute. If you open a door within this
minute, it does not re-lock until after all the doors are
closed and you have walked away with the key fob.
NOTE: If you unlock Model X using the mobile app, it
automatically locks after a short period of time if all
doors remain closed. If parked in an area without cellular
service (such as an indoor parking garage), ensure that
you have a functional key fob available to unlock
Model X.
Unlocking When the Key Fob
Doesn't Work
If Model X does not unlock when you walk up to it, or
when you double-click the unlock button on the top of
your key fob, the key fob's battery may be dead. Even if
this is the case, you can still use the key fob to unlock
and drive Model X.
NOTE: Although you can still use your key fob, you
should consider using the mobile app to remotely unlock
and start the vehicle. Then, replace your key fob's
battery when convenient.
To unlock Model X (and disable the security alarm) using
the key fob, first position the key fob at the base of the
door pillar between the front door and the falcon wing
door, on the driver's side of the vehicle. Then press the
driver's door handle. If Model X doesn't unlock, try
adjusting the position of the key fob and try again. The
key fob must be in the correct position for the vehicle to
unlock. If Model X still doesn't unlock, remove the key
fob's battery and try again. See
Battery on page
9.
NOTE: The following illustration assumes a left hand
drive (LHD) vehicle. On a right hand drive (RHD) vehicle,
the locations are mirrored.
To drive Model X after gaining access to the cabin, place
the bottom of the key fob against the center console,
immediately below the low voltage power outlet, then
press and hold the brake pedal to start Model X.
