Tesla Model X: Disclaimers
Model X is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data to better
understand how the vehicle's systems performed. The
EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in Model X is
designed to record data such as: The data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (for example, name, gender, age, and
crash location) is recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with
the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is
required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed.
In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR. Tesla may also access the EDR
remotely in some crash circumstances. Vehicle Telematics Model X is equipped with electronic modules that
monitor and record data from various vehicle systems,
including the motor, Autopilot components, Battery,
braking and electrical systems. The electronic modules
record information about various driving and vehicle
conditions, including braking, acceleration, trip and
other related information regarding your vehicle. These
modules also record information about the vehicle's
features such as charging events and status, the
enabling/disabling of various systems, diagnostic
trouble codes, VIN, speed, direction and location.
The data is stored by the vehicle and may be accessed,
used and stored by Tesla service technicians during
vehicle servicing or periodically transmitted to Tesla
wirelessly through the vehicle's telematics system. This
data may be used by Tesla for various purposes,
including, but not limited to: providing you with Tesla
telematics services; troubleshooting; evaluation of your
vehicle's quality, functionality and performance; analysis and research by Tesla
and its partners for the
improvement and design of our vehicles and systems; to
defend Tesla; and as otherwise may be required by law.
In servicing your vehicle, Tesla can potentially resolve
issues remotely simply by reviewing your vehicle's data
log.
Tesla's telematics system wirelessly transmits vehicle
information to Tesla on a periodic basis. The data is used
as previously described and helps ensure the proper
maintenance of your vehicle. Additional Model X
features may use your vehicle's telematics system and
the information provided, including features such as
charging reminders, software updates, and remote
access to, and control of, various systems of your
vehicle. Tesla does not disclose the data recorded in your vehicle
to any third party except when: For additional information regarding how Tesla
processes data collected from your vehicle, please

about/legal. For quality assurance and to support the continuous
improvement of advanced features such as Autopilot,
your Model X may collect analytics, road segment,
diagnostic, and vehicle usage data and send to Tesla for
analysis. This analysis helps Tesla improve products and
services by learning from the experience of billions of
miles that Tesla vehicles have driven. Although Tesla
shares this data with partners that contribute similar
data, the collected information does not identify you
personally and can be sent to Tesla only with your
explicit consent. In order to protect your privacy,
personal information is either not logged at all, is subject
to privacy preserving techniques, or is removed from
any reports before being sent to Tesla. You have control
over what data you share by touching Controls >

about/legal. NOTE: Although Model X uses GPS in connection with
driving and operation, as discussed in this owner's
manual, Tesla does not record or store vehicle-specific
GPS information, except the location where a crash
occurred. Consequently, Tesla is unable to provide
historical information about a vehicle's location (for
example, Tesla is unable to tell you where Model X was
parked/traveling at a particular date/time). Quality Control You might notice a few miles/km on the odometer when
you take delivery of your Model X. This is a result of a
comprehensive testing process that ensures the quality
of your Model X.
The testing process includes extensive inspections
during and after production. The final inspection takes
place at Tesla and includes a road test conducted by a
technician. California Proposition 65 WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or
off -highway motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals including phthalates and
lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, wear gloves or wash
your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle.
WARNING: Certain components of this vehicle
such as airbag modules and seat belt pre-
tensioners may contain Perchlorate Material. Special handling may be required
for service or vehicle end of life disposal.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
