Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is
often faster than cellular data networks. Connecting to
Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no
cellular connectivity. To ensure fast, reliable delivery of
software and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving
your vehicle connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever
possible (for example, if parked in your garage
overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1. Touch the cellular icon (usually LTE or 3G) on the top
corner of your touchscreen. Model X begins to scan
and display detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move your vehicle closer to the access point
or consider using a range extender to reach your
vehicle.
2. Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use, enter the
password (if necessary), then touch Confirm.
3.
Your vehicle connects to the Wi-Fi network.
Whenever the network is within range, Model X
automatically connects to it.
You can also connect to a hidden network that isn't
shown on the list of scanned networks. Just touch Wi-Fi
Settings, enter the name of the network in the resulting
dialog box, select the security setting, then touch Add
Network.
NOTE: If more than one previously connected network is
within range, Model X connects to the one most recently
used.
NOTE: You can also use a mobile hotspot or your
phone's Internet connection via Wi-Fi tethering (subject
to fees and restrictions of your mobile carrier).
NOTE: At Tesla Service Centers, Model X automatically
connects to the Tesla Service Wi-Fi network.
