Note: If charging at a Tesla Supercharger, and
paid supercharging is potentially in eect, the
charging screen also displays information
about your previous or current Supercharger
session (see Supercharger Usage Fees and
Idle Fees on page 170).
Note: To reduce congestion at high-usage
supercharger sites, you may be automatically
limited to a maximum charge of 80% when
not using Trip Planner (see Trip Information).
You can manually increase the limit by tapping
“Set Limit” on the touchscreen or mobile app.
1. Charge status messages (such as
Charging Scheduled, Charging) display
here.
2. To adjust the charge limit, touch Set Limit,
and drag the arrow to change the charge
limit setting. The setting you choose
applies to immediate and scheduled
charging sessions.
3.
The current automatically sets to the
maximum current available from the
attached charge cable, unless it was
previously reduced to a lower level. If
needed, touch - or + to change the current
(for example, you may want to reduce the
current if you are concerned about
overloading a domestic wiring circuit
shared by other equipment). It is not
possible to set the charging current to a
level that exceeds the maximum available
from the attached charge cable. When
you change the current, Model S
remembers the location. If you charge at
the same location, you do not need to
change it again.
Note: If Model S automatically reduced the
current at a charging location because of
fluctuations in input power (see the note
in Charging Status on page 169), Tesla
recommends charging at the lower
current until the underlying problem is
resolved and the charging location can
provide consistent power.
4. Touch to open the charge port door or to
start (or stop) charging.
5. Energy level.
6. Charging rate per hour, estimated increase
in driving distance (or energy) achieved
so far in this charging session, current
supplied/available from the connected
power supply, and voltage supplied by the
charge cable.
7. Location-specific schedule. With Model S
in Park, set a specific time to begin
charging at the current location (see
Scheduled Charging and Scheduled
Departure on page 167).
Scheduled Charging and Scheduled
Departure
There are two ways in which you can schedule
