How to get the right Model X manual

  1. Find your VIN on the driver's side of the dashboard or the door jamb label, and decode it below to confirm the model year and trim.
  2. Open the official Tesla owner site and choose the Model X.
  3. Select your model year. If the site asks for a VIN, use it so the manual matches your exact equipment.
  4. Download the owner's manual plus any separate guides for navigation, infotainment, warranty and maintenance.
  5. Save the PDF to your phone so it's there when you're in the car without signal.
