• For RWD vehicles: Tesla recommends you keep your
charge limit to 100%, even for daily use, and you
regularly charge your vehicle to 100%. If Model X has
been parked for longer than a week, drive your
vehicle as you normally would and charge to 100% at
your earliest convenience.
•
For AWD vehicles: keep the full charge limit of the
battery to under 90% for Daily use. If you need 100%
of your battery for a long-distance trip, increase the
limit for

Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge cable from
the charge port (using the charge handle release button,
touchscreen, or mobile app) do not work, try pressing
and holding down the rear trunk button on the key fob
(if equipped) for 1-2 seconds. If it still doesn't release,
carefully follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Model X is not actively charging by
displaying the charging screen on the touchscreen. If
necessary, touch
Stop Charging.
2.
Open the rear trunk.
3.
Pull the charge port's release cable downwards to
unlatch the charge cable.
WARNING:
Do not pull the release cable while
simultaneously attempting to remove the
charge cable from the charge port. Always pull
the release cable before attempting to remove
the charge cable. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in electric shock and
serious injury.
NOTE: The release cable may be recessed within the
opening of the trim.
4. Pull the charge cable from the charge port.
CAUTION:
Use the release cable only in situations
where you can not release the charge cable using
the usual methods. Continuous use can damage
the release cable or charging equipment.
WARNING:
Do not perform this procedure when
your vehicle is charging, or if any orange high
voltage conductors are exposed. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in electric shock and
serious injury or damage to the vehicle. If you are
uncertain as to how to safely perform this
procedure, contact your nearest Service Center.
