WARNING: Before allowing an automated feature to open or close a front door (rather than doing so manually), it is
important to check that the area around the door is free of obstacles (such as people and objects). You must proactively
monitor the door's movement to ensure that it does not contact a person or object. Failure to do so can result in damage
or serious injury.
Front Door Reset
Since your CybertruckModel SModel X does not have traditional door handles that you can pull from the outside, it is
equipped with pop actuators (sometimes referred to as "ice breakers") that are used to assist in opening the front doors in
cases where resistance is detected, such as ice buildup in cold weather. The pop actuator is located just above the front door
latch and extends as necessary to open the front door. Once the front door opens slightly, the pop actuator gently retracts
back into the door.

Owner's Manual

87

Owners Manual

If the pop actuator is unable to retract because it is stuck to or caught on something, the pop actuator can be extended
manually to extract the object by performing the following:
1. Carefully close the door latch using a pen, screwdriver, or comparable tool (never use a finger or body part and avoid
damaging the paint); CybertruckModel SModel X will detect this as though the door is closed.

2. Make sure CybertruckModel SModel X is unlocked, then press the exterior door handle or pull the interior door handle to
reset the latch and extend the pop actuator.
3. As the pop actuator extends out from the door, quickly extract the object.
WARNING: The pop actuator will attempt to retract back into the door almost immediately after the door handle is
pressed or pulled. The pop actuator retracts gently, but will not release automatically if something gets caught.
WARNING: As with all mechanical and moving parts on the vehicle, never put body parts in, or near, moving
components. Make sure children are monitored when opening and closing doors. Interacting with moving components,
including the pop actuator, can cause serious damage or bodily injury.
Opening and Closing Falcon Wing Doors
Model X has falcon wing doors that easily open and close by pressing a button, using a key fob, using the mobile app, or
touching the associated icon on the touchscreen. The falcon wing doors are equipped with several sensors that detect the
presence of people and objects and, if an object is detected, the door stops moving. Based on detected objects, the doors
may adjust their outward and upward movement in an attempt to avoid contacting the object. For example, if an object is
detected above Model X, the door's movement may extend further outward but lower, whereas if an object (or person) is
detected beside the door, the door may extend outward much less.

88

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
WARNING: It is important to keep your hands clear of the falcon wing door frames at all times. Proactively check the
door frame area prior to closing, and monitor the movement of the door during closing to ensure that it does not come
into contact with a person or object. Failure to do so can result in damage or serious injury.
WARNING: Before opening or closing a falcon wing door, it is important to check that the area around the door is free of
obstacles (people and objects). Although the doors have many sensors, it can not detect all objects at all times,
particularly when moving. At any given moment, there may be areas near the door that are not in the detection zone.
Therefore, when opening or closing a falcon wing door, you and your passengers must stand away from the door as it is
moving, while proactively monitoring the door's movement and being prepared to take corrective action at any time. To
stop a door from moving, single-click the falcon wing door button on the key fob, press the switch on the door or door
pillar, or touch the button on the touchscreen.
To open a falcon wing door from outside Model X, press the door handle or double-press the falcon wing door button on the
key fob (see Keys on page 58Using the Key Fob on page 80).
To open a falcon wing door from inside Model X, press the switch located on the driver's side door pillar, or, on the
touchscreen, touch the associated door icon (Controls)(Controls > Locks):
NOTE: Falcon wing doors open only when Model X is stationary.

NOTE: If Model X is locked, using the switch (illustrated above) the first time unlocks the associated door. Using it a second
time opens it.

Owner's Manual

89

Owners Manual
CAUTION: Remove accumulation of snow or ice before opening a falcon wing door. Snow can get inside Model X and ice
can prevent the door from opening. In situations where water or snow has accumulated on the glass on top of the falcon
wing door, Tesla recommends using the touchscreen or switch on the door pillar (instead of the external door handle or
key fob) to slowly open the falcon wing door for the first few inches (cm). Opening the falcon wing door slowly for the
first few inches (cm) mitigates the scenario of water, snow, etc. from entering the vehicle.
To close a falcon wing door, press the button located on the inside of the door. You can also use the key fob (see Using the Key
Fob on page 80Key Fob on page 60), use the switch on the door pillar (illustrated above), or touch the associated door icon on
the touchscreen (Controls)(Controls > Close).

If a falcon wing door or the front trunk is left open when you attempt to shift out of Park, the touchscreen displays a
notification requiring you to confirm your intent to drive. The falcon wing door automatically closes when your driving speed
reaches 10 mph (16 km/h). 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.
NOTE: To prevent children from opening falcon wing doors using the interior switch, turn on child-protection locks using the
touchscreen (Controls > Vehicle > Child-Protection Lock)(Controls > Locks > Child Locks). See Child Locks on page 79ChildProtection Lock on page 92.
NOTE: You can configure Model X to open the falcon wing doors to a lower height setting by using the touchscreen (Controls
> Vehicle > Locks > Falcon Door Height).
NOTE: If a falcon wing door detects an obstacle while closing, it reverses a few inches before it stops moving.
WARNING: Whenever a front door is partially open (approximately 20°) as you are opening or closing the associated
falcon wing door, you MUST keep your hands (or any object) away from the opening edge of the front door. When a
falcon wing door passes by a partially opened front door, the distance between the two doors is very narrow. Objects,
such as hands or fingers, placed in this area, are not detected by sensors and can therefore become pinched between
the doors. To avoid bodily injury, it is a good practice to keep your hands away from the front door whenever you are
opening or closing a falcon wing door.

90

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual

CAUTION: In rainy weather, leaving a falcon wing open while opening the liftgate can result in rain water falling from the
liftgate into the rear seating area.
WARNING: When opening or closing a falcon wing door, it is important to proactively monitor the movement of the door
to ensure that it does not come into contact with a person or object. Failure to do so can cause serious damage or injury.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that CybertruckModel SModel X has no low voltage power, you will be unable to open the falcon
wing doors with the touchscreen or by pressing the switch located on the driver's side door pillar. See Opening Doors with No
Power on page 599 for more information.
Obstacle Detection

A falcon wing door stops moving when one of its many sensors detects an obstacle, or when the door senses resistance
because it has made contact with an object. The touchscreen displays a warning. In these cases, provided it is appropriate to
continue opening or closing the falcon wing door, you can override obstacle detection by pressing and holding the switch
located on the door pillar, or touching and holding the associated door icon on the touchscreen.

Owner's Manual

91

Owners Manual
When Model X detects a low ceiling (for example, in a garage), it opens the falcon wing doors (and trunk) to a lower height,
even if no obstacle is detected. You can override this height and open the doors higher by touching the associated door icon
on the touchscreen (Controls). The touchscreen displays a message asking you if you always want to open the doors to the
higher height at this location, and saves your choice. The next time you open the falcon wing doors at this location, Model X
opens them to the height you saved.
WARNING: Before overriding a falcon wing door's default opening height, visually inspect the area to ensure adequate
clearance between the door and the detected object.
WARNING: Applying adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc. on the outside of the falcon wing
doors can affect the sensors’ ability to detect obstacles properly.
Calibration

If the falcon wing doors lose calibration, a message displays on the touchscreen. To calibrate the doors, first ensure that both
doors have plenty of space to open and close and are clear of passengers, objects, etc. Then press and hold the Calibrate
button until calibration is complete. During calibration, the lower door opens all the way out (requiring extra space on the side
of Model X), the upper door moves all the way down, and then the lower door closes.
