Door Unlock Mode
You can choose to unlock only the driver's door when
you approach your vehicle carrying your key or when
you shift into Park. 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 o. 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 5 mph
(8 km/h).
Walk-Away Door Lock
Doors and trunks automatically lock whenever you walk
away carrying the key or if the key is otherwise not
detected by your vehicle (not present, dead battery,
etc.).
To turn this feature on or o, touch Controls > Vehicle >
Walk-Away Door Lock.
Check the Exclude Home checkbox to prevent doors
from locking when you walk away carrying the key when
Model X is parked at the location you have designated
as Home. For details on how to designate a location as
Home, see
Recent, Favorite, Home and Work
Destinations on page 147.
NOTE: If Model X detects an authenticated key 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. You will need to manually
lock Model X until after your next drive.
NOTE: If all doors are closed and you use the key 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.
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 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, the key’s battery may be dead. Even if this is
the case, you can still use the key to unlock and drive
Model X.
NOTE: Although you can still use your key, you should
consider using the mobile app to remotely unlock and
start the vehicle. Then, replace your key's battery when
convenient.
To unlock Model X (and disable the security alarm) using
the key, first position the key 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 and try again. The key must be in the
correct position for the vehicle to unlock.
If Model X still
doesn't unlock, remove and reinstall the key's battery
and try again.
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 against the center console,
immediately below the 12V power outlet, then press and
hold the brake pedal to start
Model X.
