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. To override

obstacle detection, hold down the top

button while double-clicking to open/

close the door.

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

due so can cause serious damage

or bodily injury.

You do not need to point the key at Model X,

but you must be within operating range

(which varies depending on the strength of

the key’s battery).

If Model X is unable to detect the key, the

touchscreen displays a message indicating

that a key is not inside. Place the key where

Model X can best detect it, which is below the

12V power socket (see Key Not Inside on page

41).

Radio equipment on a similar frequency can

aect the key. If this happens, move the key at

least 30 cm away from other electronic

devices (phone, laptop, etc). If the key does

not work, you may need to change its battery.

If the key’s battery is discharged, you can

open Model X by following the unlocking

procedure (see Unlocking When the Key

Doesn't Work on page 9).

Caution: Remember to bring the key with

you when you drive. Although you can

drive Model X away from its key, you will

be unable to power it back on after it

powers o.

Caution: Protect the key from impact,

high temperatures, and damage from

liquids. Avoid contact with solvents,

waxes and abrasive cleaners.

Replacing the Key Battery

The key’s battery lasts for approximately a

year. When the battery is low, a message

displays on the instrument panel. Follow these

steps to replace it:

1. With the key placed button side down on

a soft surface, use a small

ﬂat-bladed tool,

a ﬁngernail, or the Tesla-provided tool* to

*For convenience, Tesla provides a special

tool to make it easy to open the battery

cover. This tool was included in the box

containing your key when Model X was

initially purchased.

Note: If a lanyard is attached to the key

(see Attaching a Lanyard on page 6),

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

o of its cover). You can also pry the

tool, a ﬁngernail, or the Tesla-provided

tool against the lanyard cord.
