Getting Maximum Range

Driving Tips to Maximize Range

You can maximize your driving range using the same driving habits that you use to conserve fuel in a gasoline-powered vehicle. In addition to driving habits, energy consumption depends on environmental conditions (such as exceptionally cold or hot weather and driving on roads with steep hills). To get the maximum mileage from a charge: • Slow down your driving and avoid frequent and rapid acceleration. • If safe to do so, modulate the accelerator pedal instead of using the brake pedal when gradually slowing down. Whenever

Model X is moving and you are not pressing the accelerator pedal, regenerative braking slows down Model X and feeds surplus energy back to the

Battery (see Regenerative Braking on page 62). • Keep tires at the recommended inflation pressures (see Tire Care and Maintenance on page 160). • Lighten your load by removing any unnecessary cargo. • Fully raise all windows. • Limit the use of resources such as heating, signature lighting, and air conditioning.

Using seat heaters to keep warm is more efficient than heating the cabin. To automatically limit the amount of power that the climate control system uses to maintain the temperature of the Battery and the cabin area, touch Controls >

Driving > Range Mode > ON. The power meter on the instrument panel and the Energy app (described next) provides feedback on energy usage. With this feedback, you will soon become familiar with how driving habits and environmental conditions impact how much energy Model X is using.

Energy App

Use the Energy app to view real-time and projected energy usage. Choose from two types of charts: • Consumption - display how much energy

Model X has consumed over the past 5, 15 or 30 miles (10, 25 or 50 km).

Touch Average Range to display a graph of the average energy consumed over the past 5, 15 or 30 miles (10, 25 or 50 km).

The average range and the energy usage data are used to predict the projected range. Touch Instant Range to display a graph of the energy consumed over the last few data points only. The instant range and the energy usage data are used to calculate the projected range. • Trip - If your Model X is equipped with navigation, you can monitor the amount of energy being used while navigating to a destination. You can track actual usage against the initial prediction. The green line represents the actual usage whereas the gray line represents predicted usage.

To change the zoom level, touch the zoom icon located in the top right corner of the chart.

Note: The "Trip" chart displays energy usage only if you are currently navigating to a destination.

Saving Energy

Model X has an energy-saving feature that reduces the amount of energy being consumed when Model X is not in use. Touch Controls > Displays > Energy Saving and choose from the following options: • OFF - Model X shifts to the energy-saving mode at night (10 pm to 5 am). • ON - significantly less energy is consumed whenever Model X is not in use. The startup time of the instrument panel and

Bluetooth could be slower. • Always Connected - preserves cell connectivity when energy saving is active.

This allows the mobile app to connect to

Model X quicker, and provides immediate internet access when entering the car.

Slightly more energy is consumed.

Range Assurance

Model X helps protect you against running out of energy. Model X continuously monitors its energy level and proximity to known charging locations.

The map displays superchargers only.

The map displays superchargers, destination chargers, and visited chargers. In situations where a charging location may not be reachable based on your currently available driving range, its associated icon on the map displays as semi-transparent.

When you are at risk of driving beyond the range of known charging locations, the touchscreen displays a message giving you the opportunity to display a list of charging locations that are within range. When you select a charging location from the list, Model X provides navigation instructions and the turn-by-turn direction list displays the predicted amount of energy that will remain when you arrive at the charging destination. In addition to the message that displays when you are at risk of driving beyond the range of known charging locations, a warning symbol displays on the range assurance icon:

Touch to display a search list of charging locations that are estimated to be within your driving range. Then touch a location in the search list to navigate to it.

Based on the amount of energy remaining in your Model X, there are no known charging locations within your driving range.
