Cleaning
Polishing, Touch Up, and Body
Repair
Using a Car Cover
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the
body when Model X is not being used, use a
genuine Tesla car cover. Car covers can be
purchased from Tesla.
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the
body, you can occasionally treat the paint
surfaces with an approved polish containing:
•
Very mild abrasive to remove surface
contamination without removing or
damaging the paint.
•
•
Filling compounds thatfill scratches and
reduce their visibility.
Wax to provide a protective coating
between the paint and environmental
elements.
Caution: Use only a Tesla-approved car
cover when Model X is plugged in. Using
a non-Tesla car cover can prevent the
Battery from being adequately cooled
during charging.
Regularly inspect the exterior paint for
damage. Treat minor chips and scratches
using a paint touch up pen (available for
purchase from Tesla). Use the touch-up pen
after washing but before polishing or waxing.
Repair rock chips, fractures or scratches. Body
repairs should be performed only by a Tesla
approved body shop. Contact Tesla for a list of
approved body shops.
Floor Mats
To extend the life of your carpet and make
them easier to clean, use genuine Teslafloor
mats. Maintain mats by regularly cleaning
them and checking that they are properly
attached. Replacefloor mats if they become
excessively worn.
Caution: Do not use cutting pastes, color
restoration compounds, or polishes
containing harsh abrasives. These can
scour the surface and permanently
damage the paint.
Warning: To avoid potential interference
with a foot pedal, ensure that the driver’s
floor mat is securely fastened, and never
place an additionalfloor mat on top of it.
Floor mats should always rest on top of
the vehicle carpeting surface and not on
anotherfloor mat or other covering.
Caution: Do not use chrome polish or
other abrasive cleaners.
