The acceleration settings available on your
Model X vary depending on options chosen at
time of purchase:
• Chill: limits acceleration for a smooth and
gentle ride (available on all vehicles
equipped with driver assistance
hardware).
• Standard: provides the normal level of
acceleration (available on non-
performance dual motor vehicles).
• Sport: provides the normal level of
acceleration (available on performance
dual motor vehicles).
• Insane: increases peak torque by
approximately 30 percent (available on
performance dual motor vehicles not
equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade).
• Ludicrous: increases peak torque by
approximately 60 percent (available on
performance dual motor vehicles
equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade).
Note: Although Chill does not directly improve
driving range, using the increased torque and
power available in Insane or Ludicrous mode
can reduce range and
eciency.
Note: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on
the instrument panel above the driving speed.
In addition, a performance dual motor Model X
also features Launch Mode to provide
optimum acceleration on surfaces with good
traction. For the
specific driving instructions
required to use Launch Mode, see Launch
Mode on page 73.
To choose an acceleration mode, touch
Controls > Driving > Acceleration.
Max Battery Power
If you choose Insane or Ludicrous, additional
power is available immediately. However, to
achieve the absolute maximum power
(designed for short term use), you can enable
Max Battery Power, which heats the Battery to
its ideal operating temperature to ensure
access to 100% of available power. Heating the
Battery can take over an hour, depending on
environmental conditions and whether or not
Model X is being driven.
To enable, touch Max Battery Power, which
displays as blue text immediately below the
acceleration setting. While the battery is being
heated, the touchscreen displays a message
providing you with an approximate wait time,
and when the additional power is available,
the message indicates that Max Battery Power
is READY!
Note:
Max Battery Power is designed to
achieve maximum performance for short term
acceleration and is not intended for daily
driving. The tradeo for the additional power
boost is extra energy consumption and earlier
power fade on long drives. The Insane or
Ludicrous acceleration settings provide a
significant increase in performance even
without Max Battery Power. In fact, in normal
driving situations, the additional power that
can be achieved using Max Battery Power may
not be noticeable.
Note: To support Max Battery Power, the
charge level must be 20% or higher. You
cannot initiate Max Battery Power if the
charge level is less than 20%. In addition, Max
Battery Power immediately cancels if at any
time during its use, the charge level drops
below 20%.
When using Max Battery Power, Model X
consumes more energy as it keeps the Battery
within an optimal temperature range.
To cancel Max Battery Power at any time,
change the acceleration level to Chill or Sport
(or touch the button in the Max Battery Mode
popup). To prevent excess and potentially
unnecessary energy consumption (for
example, you leave the vehicle and forget to
cancel Max Battery Power), Max Battery
Power cancels automatically in three hours,
regardless of whether you are still driving or
have left the vehicle.
Note: Max Battery Power strives to keep the
pack within an optimal temperature range. In
addition to heating the Battery, Max Battery
Power also cools the battery when necessary
(for example, while driving at high speeds,
during rapid acceleration, driving for long
periods, etc.).
Launch Mode
Launch Mode, available on performance dual
motor vehicles only, provides optimum
acceleration on surfaces with good traction.
Note: Hard acceleration including, but not
limited to, using launch mode, increases stress
on the vehicle’s powertrain, and can cause
premature wear and aging of various
components. Model X constantly monitors
powertrain fatigue and damage, and
notifies
you if vehicle components need to be
serviced.
Warning:
Use Launch Mode only in
appropriate locations where there is no
cross trac or pedestrians present.
