Keyless Locking and Unlocking
Locking and unlocking Model X is convenient. Although
you must be carrying a valid key, there is no need to use
it. Model X has sensors around the driver's door that can
recognize the presence of a key within a range of
approximately
three feet (one meter). So, you can keep
your key in your pocket or purse and Model X detects it
as you approach.
When you walk up to Model X carrying your key, the
doors automatically unlock if Passive Entry is on
(Controls > Safety & Security > Passive Entry). To open
the rear trunk, press the switch located under the trunk’s
exterior handle.
NOTE: Model X must detect your key near the driver's
door before the doors or rear trunk unlock.
NOTE: If Passive Entry is o, you must use the key to
unlock Model X. See Using the Key on page 7.
If equipped with the premium upgrade package, and the
Automatic Doors setting is turned on, when you walk up
to Model X carrying your key, doors automatically unlock
and the driver's door partially opens. If not equipped, or
if this setting is turned
o, doors automatically unlock
and a door opens when you press its handle.
NOTE: You can choose whether you want all doors, or
just the driver's door, to unlock when you approach
Model X carrying your key (see Door Unlock Mode on
page 13).
When carrying your key with you, you can also open the
rear trunk without having to use the key. Simply press
the switch located under the trunk’s exterior handle.
Driver Door Unlock Mode (see Door Unlock Mode on
page 13) must be o and the vehicle must detect the
key near the driver's door before opening the rear trunk.
Model X also locks automatically. If you enable Walk
Away Door Lock, Model X locks when you walk away
carrying your key with you (see Walk-Away Door Lock
on page 13).
In addition, you can set Model X to sound a soft horn
whenever you car locks or unlocks (if equipped). To set
up, touch Controls > Vehicle > Lock Confirmation
Sound.
While sitting inside Model X, you can also lock and
unlock the vehicle by touching the icon on the
touchscreen's status bar or by touching Controls >
Quick Controls.
Using the Key
To quickly familiarize yourself with the key, think of the
key as a miniature version of Model X, with the Tesla
badge representing the front. The key has three buttons
on the top that feel like softer areas on the surface, and
a metal button on each side representing the falcon
wing doors.
