Factors Affecting Energy
Consumption
While driving:
• Elevated driving speed.
• Environmental conditions such as cold or
hot weather and wind.
• Using climate controls to heat or cool the
cabin.
• Uphill travel: Driving uphill requires more
energy and depletes range at a faster
rate. However, driving downhill allows
your vehicle to regain a portion of its
expended energy through regenerative
braking (see
).
• Short trips or stop-and-go traffic: It takes
energy to bring the cabin and Battery to a
specified temperature when starting the
vehicle. You may see a higher average
consumption when the vehicle is used for
very short trips or in heavy traffic.
• Heavy cargo load.
• Windows rolled down.
• Wheels and tires not maintained.
• Customized settings or third-party
accessories (roof or trunk racks, third-
party wheels).
While parked and not plugged in to a charger:
• Preconditioning the cabin or using climate
controls.
• Summon.
• Vehicle infotainment and climate controls
system.
• Sentry mode.
• Tesla or third-party mobile app requests.
Tips to Maximize Range
You can maximize your driving range using
the same driving habits you use to conserve
fuel in a gasoline-powered vehicle. To achieve
maximum range:
• Slow down your driving and avoid
frequent and rapid acceleration. Consider
using Chill Mode (touch
Controls
>
Pedals
& Steering
>
Acceleration
) and Speed
Assist (see
) to
assist in controlling your acceleration and
speed.
• 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 the
vehicle and feeds surplus energy back to
the Battery (see
• Limit the use of resources such as heating
and air conditioning. Using seat and
steering yoke heaters (if equipped) to
keep warm is more efficient than heating
the cabin using climate controls.
• With your vehicle plugged in, use the
mobile app to precondition your vehicle
to ensure the cabin is at a comfortable
temperature and windows are defrosted
(if needed) before your drive by touching

On
and customizing your
preferences (see
).
• Touch
Schedule
, available on both the
charging and climate control screens, to
set a time when you want your vehicle to
be ready to drive (see
Charging and Scheduled Departure on
).
• Ensure the wheels are aligned to
specification, the tires are kept at the
recommended inflation pressures (see
Tire Care and Maintenance on page 213
),
and are rotated when needed (see
Maintenance Schedule on page 211
).
• Lighten your load by removing any
unnecessary cargo.
• Fully raise all windows.
• Features such as Sentry Mode and Cabin
Overheat Protection can impact range.
Disable features when not needed.
• To prevent an excessive amount of energy
consumption while the vehicle is idle,
keep the vehicle plugged in when not in
use.
