Opening
To open the front trunk, ensure Model X is in Park, and
then do one of the following before pulling the hood
open:
• Touch Controls > Frunk on the touchscreen.
• Double-click the front trunk button on the key fob.
•
Touch the front trunk button in the mobile app.
The instrument panel displays when a door, trunk, or
liftgate is open.
WARNING:
Before opening or closing the hood, it
is important to check that the area around the
hood is free of obstacles (people and objects).
Failure to do so may result in damage or serious
injury.
The cargo weight should be distributed as evenly as
possible between the front and rear trunks.
CAUTION:
Never load more than 110 lbs (50 kg) in
the front trunk. Doing so can cause damage.
WARNING:
When loading cargo, always consider
the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
(see Vehicle Loading on page 206). The GVWR is the
maximum allowable total mass of the vehicle
including all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
Closing
The Model X hood is not heavy enough to latch under its
own weight and applying pressure on the front edge or
center of the hood can cause damage.
To properly close the hood:
1. Lower the hood until the striker touches the latches.
2.
Place both hands on the front of the hood in the
areas shown (in green), then press down firmly to
engage the latches.
3. Carefully try to lift the front edge of the hood to
ensure that it is fully closed.
If a falcon wing door or the front trunk is left open when
you attempt to shift out of Park, a notification requiring
you to
confirm your intent to drive appears on the
touchscreen. The falcon wing doors may automatically
close once you begin to accelerate. In addition, your
vehicle speed is limited if you choose to keep the front
trunk open while driving. It is your responsibility to
ensure doors and trunks are properly closed before
driving.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage:
• Apply pressure only to the green areas shown.
Applying pressure to the red areas can cause
damage.
• Do not close the hood with one hand. Doing so
applies concentrated force in one area and can
result in a dent or crease.
• Do not apply pressure to the front edge of the
hood. Doing so can crease the edge.
•
Do not slam or drop the hood.
• To avoid scratches, don't have anything in your
hands (keys). Jewelry can also cause scratches.
