Adjusting Steering Effort
You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the steering
system to suit your personal preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Pedals &
Steering > Steering Mode.
2. Choose a steering option:
Comfort - Reduces the effort required to turn the
steering yoke. In town, Model X feels easier to
drive and park.
Standard - Tesla believes that this setting offers
the best handling and response in most
conditions.
Sport - Increases the effort required to turn the
steering yoke. When driving at higher speeds,
Model X feels more responsive.
