IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This document contains important instructions and warnings that must be followed when handling Model X in an emergency situation.
WARNINGS
Warning: Always use appropriate tools, such as a hydraulic cutter, and always wear appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE) when cutting Model X. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Warning: Regardless of the disabling procedure you use, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT ALL HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS ARE
ENERGIZED! Cutting, crushing, or touching high voltage components can result in serious injury or death.
Warning: After deactivation, the high voltage circuit requires 2 minutes to de-energize.
Warning: The supplemental restraint system (SRS) control unit has a backup power supply with a discharge time of approximately
ten seconds. Do not touch the SRS control unit within 10 seconds of an airbag or pre-tensioner deployment.
Warning: Handling a submerged vehicle without appropriate PPE can result in serious injury or death.
Warning: When fire is involved, consider the entire vehicle energized. Always wear full PPE, including a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA).
Warning: When cutting the first responder loop, double cut the loop to remove an entire section. This eliminates the risk of the cut
wires accidentally reconnecting.
Warning: Never cut the high tension springs attached to the falcon wing doors. These springs might cause portions of the door to
rise rapidly if the weight of the doors is reduced through the removal process. Serious injury or death can result from cutting or
rapidly releasing the high tension springs.

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
Model X is equipped with a floor-mounted 400 volt lithium-ion high voltage battery. Never breach the high voltage battery when lifting
from under the vehicle. When using rescue tools, pay special attention to ensure that you do not breach the floor pan. Refer to Lifting
the Vehicle on page 22 for instructions on how to properly lift the vehicle.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
6

DC-DC CONVERTER AND FRONT JUNCTION BOX
High voltage is present at the DC-DC converter and front junction box, as outlined in red. The DC-DC converter transforms the high
voltage current from the high voltage battery to low voltage to charge the Model X 12 volt battery. The front junction box provides high
voltage current to various components, such as the battery heater, air conditioning compressor, and cabin heater. Use caution when
cutting in this area during a dash lift and dash roll procedure. Use work-around techniques, if necessary.

Electric Vehicle Components 7

HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES
High voltage cables are shown in orange.
HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES
8

CHARGER
Model X has one charger located inside the left-hand side quarter panel. This charger converts alternating current (AC) from a
charging station to direct current (DC) for charging the high voltage battery. It also routes high voltage to the rear HVAC, if equipped.
The high voltage junction box, integrated into the charger, routes any surplus energy from regenerative braking back to the high
voltage battery.
CHARGER
Electric Vehicle Components 9

DRIVE UNITS
The rear drive unit is located between the rear wheels, and the front drive unit is located between the front wheels. The drive units
convert the direct current (DC) from the high voltage battery into 3-phase alternating current (AC) that the drive unit(s) use to power
the wheels.
DRIVE UNITS
10

12 VOLT BATTERY
In addition to the high voltage system, Model X has a low voltage electrical system. Its 12 volt battery operates the SRS, airbags,
windows, door locks, touchscreen, and interior and exterior lights. The DC-DC converter in the high voltage system charges the 12 volt
battery, and the 12 volt battery supplies power to the high voltage contactors, allowing high voltage current to flow into and out of the
high voltage battery. The 12 volt battery, outlined in red, is located under the hood and the plastic access panel.
12 VOLT BATTERY

CHOCK ALL FOUR WHEELS
Model X moves silently, so never assume it is powered o. Drivers can choose a setting that determines whether or not Model X will
"creep" when a drive gear is selected. If this setting is o, Model X may not move unless the accelerator is pressed, even if shifted into
Drive or Reverse. However, never assume that Model X will not move. Always chock the wheels.
SHIFT INTO PARK
Model X moves silently, so never assume it is powered o. Pressing the accelerator pedal even slightly can cause Model X to accelerate
quickly if the active gear is Drive or Reverse. To ensure that the parking brake is engaged, press the button on the end of the gear
selector to shift into Park. Whenever Model X is in Park, the parking brake is automatically engaged and the instrument cluster shows
the active gear as Park (P).
CHOCK ALL FOUR WHEELS

FRONT TRUNK FIRST RESPONDER CUT LOOP
The first responder loop is a low voltage harness. Cutting the first responder loop shuts down the high voltage system outside of the
high voltage battery and disables the SRS and airbag components. Refer to Cutting the Front Trunk First Responder Loop on page 14
for instructions on how to access and cut the first responder loop.
Warning: Regardless of the disabling procedure you use, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT ALL HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS ARE
ENERGIZED! Cutting, crushing, or touching high voltage components can result in serious injury or death.

Disabling the High Voltage System 13

CUTTING THE FRONT TRUNK FIRST RESPONDER LOOP
When cutting the first responder loop, double cut it to remove an entire section. This prevents the wires from accidentally
reconnecting.
1. Open the hood. Refer to Opening the Hood on page 29 for instructions.
2. Remove the access panel by pulling it upwards to release the clips that hold it in place.
3. Double cut the first responder loop.

AIRBAGS
Airbags are located in the approximate areas shown. Airbag warning information is printed on the sun visors.
NOTE: Model X is designed to deactivate high voltage in all components and cables outside of the high voltage battery when an airbag
is deployed.
NOTE: Left Hand Drive vehicle shown. On Right Hand Drive vehicles, the passenger and driver airbag locations are reversed.
1. Knee airbags
2. Front airbags
3. Curtain airbags
4. Seat-mounted side airbags
5. Door-mounted (curtain) airbags
Warning: The SRS control unit has a backup power supply with a discharge time of approximately ten seconds. Do not touch the
SRS control unit within 10 seconds of an airbag or pre-tensioner deployment.

AIRBAG INFLATION CYLINDERS
The airbag inflation cylinders, outlined in red, are located in the A-pillars and in the falcon wing doors.
Warning: The SRS control unit has a backup power supply with a discharge time of approximately ten seconds. Do not touch the
SRS control unit within 10 seconds of an airbag or pre-tensioner deployment.

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS
The seat belt pre-tensioners, outlined in red, are located at the bottom of the B-pillars.
Warning: The SRS control unit has a backup power supply with a discharge time of approximately ten seconds. Do not touch the
SRS control unit within 10 seconds of an airbag or pre-tensioner deployment.
SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS

REINFORCEMENTS AND ULTRA HIGH STRENGTH STEEL
Model X is heavily reinforced to protect occupants. The A-pillars and B-pillars are built with boron steel. The B-pillar is additionally
reinforced with a dual-phase 980 steel pipe that runs from the roof rail to just below the latch striker. Suitable tools must be used to
cut or crush these areas. Reinforcements are shown in teal below.
Warning: Always use appropriate tools, such as a hydraulic cutter, and always wear appropriate PPE when cutting Model X. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Warning: Regardless of the disabling procedure you use, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT ALL HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS ARE
ENERGIZED! Cutting, crushing, or touching high voltage components can result in serious injury or death.

NO-CUT ZONES
Model X has areas that are defined as "no-cut zones" due to the presence of high voltage, gas struts, SRS components, or other
hazards. Never cut or crush in these areas. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. The "no-cut zones" are shown in pink.
Warning: Always use appropriate tools, such as a hydraulic cutter, and always wear appropriate PPE when cutting Model X. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Warning: Regardless of the disabling procedure you use, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT ALL HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS ARE
