NOTE: When the map is
zoomed out and more than
one destination charging
location is available in an
area, the pin is round and
displays the number of
stations. Touch the pin to
zoom in. Then you can touch
an individual pin for details
about a
specific location.
Touch a charging location's pin to display a
popup from which you can:
•
Determine it's exact location and
approximate distance from your current
location.
•
View amenities that are available at the
charging location, including restrooms,
restaurants, lodging, shopping, and Wi-Fi.
On a supercharger popup, touch an
amenity icon to search the surrounding
area for the associated amenity.
•
Touch the navigation icon to navigate to
the charging location.
NOTE: When navigating to a
Supercharger (or third-party fast charger
in some regions), Model 3 preconditions
the Battery to prepare for charging. This
ensures you arrive with an optimal
Battery temperature, reducing the
amount of time it takes to charge. In
some circumstances (such as cold
weather), it is normal for the motor(s) and
components to make noise as it generates
heat to warm the Battery (see
Warming
the Battery Before Supercharging on
page 91).
Predicting Energy Usage
When navigating to a destination, Model 3
helps you anticipate your charging needs by
calculating the amount of energy that
remains when you reach your destination.
When navigating, the map displays this
calculation at the top of the expanded turn-
by-turn direction list (see
Navigating to a
Destination on page 154). When the turn-by-
turn direction list is compressed, touch the
top of the list to expand it.
The calculation that predicts how much
energy you will use is an estimate based on
driving style (predicted speed, etc.) and
environmental factors (elevation changes,
wind speed and direction, ambient and
forecasted temperatures, air density and
humidity, etc.). As you drive, Model 3
continuously learns how much energy it uses,
resulting in improved accuracy over time. It is
important to note that Model 3 predicts
energy usage based on the driving style of
the individual vehicle. For example, if you
drive aggressively for a period of time, future
range predictions will assume higher
consumption. Also, if you purchase a used
Tesla vehicle, it is recommended that you
perform a factory reset (
Controls > Service >
Factory Reset) to ensure the predicted
energy is as accurate as possible.
Throughout your route, Model 3 monitors
energy usage and updates the estimate of
energy remaining at the end of your trip. A
popup warning displays on the turn-by-turn
direction list in these situations:
NOTE: Some factors that contribute to
predicted energy (such as forecasted
temperatures and wind speed) are available
only when
Model 3 has internet connectivity.
•
A yellow warning displays when you have
very little energy remaining to reach your
destination, requiring you to drive slowly
to conserve energy. For tips on
conserving energy, see
Getting Maximum
Range on page 83.
• A red warning displays when you must
charge to reach your destination.
To determine if you have enough energy for a
round trip, touch the Battery icon at the top
of the turn-by-turn direction list to display an
estimated calculation of your round trip
energy usage.
Online Routing
Model 3 detects real-time trac conditions
and automatically adjusts the estimated
driving and arrival times. In situations where
trac conditions will delay your estimated
time of arrival and an alternate route is
available, the navigation system can reroute
you to your destination. You can also specify
the minimum number of minutes that must be
saved before you are rerouted. To turn this
