How often will I need Tesla X differential service?

Can my X malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your X, but it's important to resist the urge.

If your X has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your X’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your X forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
