The towing package allows you to tow a trailer
with your Model X. It also allows you to carry
skis, snowboards, bicycles, etc. by attaching
an accessory carrier to the hitch.
Carrying Accessories
The Model X towing package has a 50 mm ball
coupling that can support an accessory
carrier.
The ball coupling is designed to support
vertical loads of up to 54 kg. When carrying
bicycles or other items on the Model X hitch,
always check to ensure that the maximum
weight is not exceeded. When calculating
weight, remember to include the weight of the
accessory carrier. For example, assuming the
carrier weighs 14 kg, the weight threshold is
sucient for carrying two bicycles weighing
approximately 20 kg each, or four bicycles
weighing approximately 10 kg each.
Caution: The Model X hitch is designed to
support up to 54 kg. Exceeding this
maximum weight can cause significant
damage.
Caution: Do not attempt to install a
carrier on a Model X that is not equipped
with the towing package. Doing so can
cause significant damage.
To install and use an accessory carrier, the tow
hitch must be connected (see Connecting the
Tow Hitch on page 85). Then follow the
instructions provided with your accessory
carrier. Observe all regulations and legal
requirements in your state/region that apply
to carrying accessories.
The Model X towing package includes the
wiring necessary for using an accessory carrier
equipped with lights (see Electrical
Connections on page 87). The package also
includes Trailer Mode software (see Trailer
Mode on page 83).
When you connect an accessory
carrier's wiring harness, Model X
detects a connection for trailer lights
and this indicator illuminates on the
instrument panel. Trailer Mode is
disabled.
When carrying accessories, periodically
confirm that the accessory carrier and its
cargo remain secure at all times, and if
applicable, that the lights on the accessory
carrier are working.
Note:
Go to www.tesla.com to purchase
accessories for your Model X. Although third-
party products are available, Tesla
recommends and supports only Tesla-
approved products (see Parts and Accessories
on page 176). The accessory products
available for your Model X vary based on
market region. Before attempting to install a
non-Tesla carrier, review the product
information to ensure compatibility.
Note: When not in use, the hitch should be
removed and stored in a dry location to
prevent rust and corrosion. Keep the dust
cover over the hitch housing to prevent dirt
and debris from entering.(see Disconnecting
the Tow Hitch on page 86).
Caution: A carrier may obscure your view
from the rear view mirror, the rear
camera(s), the rear ultrasonic sensors. In
addition, some driver assistance features
may not function as expected.
Warning: Tesla assumes no responsibility
for damage or injuries resulting from
installing and using an accessory carrier,
for any omissions in the instructions
accompanying an accessory carrier, or for
your failure to follow the instructions.
Damage caused by using an accessory
carrier is not covered by the warranty.
