NOTE: The wireless phone charger may not
work if your phone case is too large or is
made of metal. Try removing the phone from
its case before placing in the charger.
CAUTION: The phone must be in
direct contact with the wireless
charger. Do not place objects between
the phone and the charger (for
example, credit cards, key cards, coins,
keys, metal objects, etc.).
Low Voltage Power Socket
Your Model 3 has a power socket located in
the center console's rear compartment.
The power socket is suitable for accessories
requiring up to 12A continuous draw (16A
peak).
NOTE: For vehicles manufactured after
approximately November 2021, power
inverters plugged into the
low voltage power
socket must support 16V DC input to
function.
NOTE: Power is available whenever the
vehicle is considered "awake". The vehicle
may be awake for many reasons. For example,
when using features such as Summon, or
when features such as Preconditioning, Cabin
Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog
Mode, Camp Mode,
Sentry Mode, etc. are
enabled. The vehicle is also awake whenever
the low voltage battery is being charged or is
in use, during HV charging, when the vehicle
is communicating with the mobile app, etc.
Leaving an accessory plugged in does not
deplete the
low voltage battery.
WARNING:
The power socket and an
accessory’s connector can become
hot.
WARNING:
To prevent excessive
interference with the vehicle’s
electronics, Tesla recommends that
you do not plug any non-Tesla
accessories, including power inverters,
into the low voltage power socket.
However, if you do use a non-Tesla
accessory and notice any malfunctions
or unexpected behavior, such as
indicator lights, alert messages, or
excessive heat from the accessory,
unplug the accessory from the low
voltage power socket immediately.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to jump
start Model 3 using the low voltage
power socket. Doing so can result in
damage.
USB Ports
Model 3 has two USB ports located in the
front compartment of the center console.
These ports can be used to:
•
Connect and charge USB devices.
•
Play audio files stored on a phone or USB
device (see Playing Media from Devices
on page 161).
•
For saving Sentry Mode and Dashcam
video footage, use the USB port located
in the glove box. Doing so increases
security and minimizes power
consumption.
NOTE: For some vehicles manufactured after
approximately November 1, 2021, the center
console USB ports may only support charging
devices. Use the USB port inside the glove
box for all other functions.
Both ports are USB-C compatible.
Open the front compartment of the center
console. The front USB ports are located on
the rear wall of the compartment.
