Key Not Inside
If Model X does not detect a key when you

If Model X still does not detect the key, try
holding it against the center console,
immediately below the 12V power socket (see

still not detected, remove the key's battery
and try again. See Replacing the Key Battery
on page 5. Or try using another key. If another
key does not work, contact Tesla.

low battery in the key, interference from other
devices using radio signals, and objects
between the key and receiver.
