Tesla Model X: Front Trunk
To open the front trunk, ensure Model X is in Park, and
then do one of the following before pulling the hood
open: The instrument panel displays when a door, trunk, or
liftgate is open. WARNING: Before opening or closing the hood, it
is important to check that the area around the
hood is free of obstacles (people and objects).
Failure to do so may result in damage or serious
injury. The cargo weight should be distributed as evenly as
possible between the front and rear trunks. CAUTION: Never load more than 110 lbs (50 kg) in
the front trunk. Doing so can cause damage.
WARNING: When loading cargo, always consider
the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
(see Vehicle Loading). The GVWR is the maximum allowable total mass of the
vehicle including all passengers, fluids, and cargo. The Model X hood is not heavy enough to latch under its
own weight and applying pressure on the front edge or
center of the hood can cause damage.
To properly close the hood: 1. Lower the hood until the striker touches the latches.
2. Place both hands on the front of the hood in the
areas shown (in green), then press down firmly to
engage the latches. 3. Carefully try to lift the front edge of the hood to
ensure that it is fully closed. If a falcon wing door or the front trunk is left open when
you attempt to shift out of Park, a notification requiring
you to confirm your intent to drive appears on the
touchscreen. The falcon wing doors may automatically
close once you begin to accelerate. In addition, your
vehicle speed is limited if you choose to keep the front
trunk open while driving. It is your responsibility to
ensure doors and trunks are properly closed before
driving. CAUTION: To prevent damage: WARNING: Before driving, you must ensure that
the hood is securely latched in the fully closed
position by carefully trying to lift the front edge of
the hood upward and confirming there is no
movement. The front trunk locks when: An illuminated interior release button inside the front
trunk allows a person locked inside to get out. Press the interior release button to open the front trunk,
then push up on the hood. NOTE: The interior release button glows following a brief
exposure to ambient light. WARNING: People should never climb inside the
front trunk. Never shut the front trunk when a
person is inside.
WARNING: Care should be taken to ensure that
objects inside the front trunk do not bump against
the release button, causing the hood to
accidentally open. Opening Hood with No Power In the unlikely event that Model X has no low voltage
power, you will be unable to open the front trunk using
the touchscreen, key fob, or mobile app. To open the
front trunk in this situation: NOTE: The following steps do not open the front trunk if
Model X is locked and has low voltage power. 1. Locate an external low voltage power supply (such as
a portable jump starter). 2. To remove the tow eye cover, insert a small, flat
screwdriver into the top and bottom slots, release the
snaps and pull the cover towards you. 3. Pull the two wires out of the tow eye opening to
expose both terminals. 4. Connect the low voltage power supply's red positive
(+) cable to the red positive (+) terminal.
5. Connect the low voltage power supply's black
negative (-) cable to the black negative (-) terminal. NOTE: Applying external low voltage power to these
terminals only releases the hood latches. You cannot
charge the low voltage battery using these terminals. 6. Turn on the external power supply (refer to the
manufacturer's instructions). The hood latches are
immediately released and you can now open the
hood to access the front trunk area.
7. Disconnect both cables, beginning with the black
negative (-) cable.
8. If pulling the vehicle onto a flatbed truck, do not
replace the tow eye cover yet. If necessary, install the
tow eye cover by inserting the wires into the tow eye
opening and aligning the tow eye cover into position
and snapping it into place.Opening
