CAUTION: Ensure the wipers are o before
washing Model X to avoid the risk of damaging
the wipers.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical based wheel
cleaners or pre-wash products. These can damage
the finish on the wheels.
WARNING: Never spray liquid at a high velocity
(for example, if using a pressure washer) towards
the charge port while Model X is charging. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in serious
injury or damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.
Cleaning the Interior
Frequently inspect and clean the interior to maintain its
appearance and to prevent premature wear. If possible,
immediately wipe up spills and remove marks. For
general cleaning, wipe interior surfaces using a soft
cloth (such as
microfiber) dampened with a mixture of
warm water and mild non-detergent cleaner (test all
cleaners on a concealed area before use). To avoid
streaks, dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
Interior Glass
Do not scrape, or use any abrasive cleaning fluid on
glass or mirrored surfaces. This can damage the
reflective surface of the mirror and the heating
elements in the rear window.
Airbags
Do not allow any substance to enter an airbag cover.
This could aect correct operation.
Dashboard and Plastic Surfaces
Do not polish the upper surfaces of the dashboard.
Polished surfaces are reflective and could interfere with
your driving view.
Seats
Wipe spills as soon as possible using a soft cloth
moistened with warm water and non-detergent soap.
Wipe gently in a circular motion. Then wipe dry using a
soft, lint-free cloth.
If equipped with leather seats, note that leather is
prone to dye-transfer which can cause discoloration,
particularly on light colored leather. White and tan
leather is coated with an anti-soiling treatment. Using
detergents or commercially available leather cleaners
and conditioners is not recommended because they can
discolor or dry out the leather.
If equipped with polyurethane seats, be careful with
dyes, such as from clothing or denim, that come into
contact with the seats. Over time, dyes can
diuse into
the seat material and cause staining.
Vacuum cloth seats as needed to remove any loose dirt.
CAUTION: Aftermarket, non-Tesla seat covers
may inhibit the sensitivity of a seat's occupancy
sensors and may cause staining or damage.
Carpets
Avoid over-wetting carpets. For heavily soiled areas,
use a diluted upholstery cleaner.
Seat Belts
Extend the belts to wipe. Do not use any type of
detergent or chemical cleaning agent. Allow the belts
to dry naturally while extended, preferably away from
direct sunlight.
Touchscreen and Instrument Panel
Clean the touchscreen and instrument panel using a
soft lint-free cloth specifically designed to clean
monitors and displays. Do not use cleaners (such as a
glass cleaner) or alcohol-based gel products (such as
hand sanitizer) and do not use a wet wipe or a dry
statically-charged cloth (such as a recently washed
microfiber). To wipe the touchscreen without activating
buttons and changing settings, you can enable Screen
Clean Mode. Touch
Controls > Display > Screen Clean
Mode. The display darkens to make it easy to see dust
and smudges. To exit Screen Clean Mode, press and
hold
HOLD TO EXIT.
Chrome and Metal Surfaces
Polish, abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based gel products
(such as hand sanitizer), and hard cloths can damage
the finish on chrome and metal surfaces.
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.
