NOTE: A portion of the battery image
may appear blue. This indicates that a
small portion of the energy stored in the
battery is not available because the
battery is cold. This is normal and no
reason for concern. When the battery
warms up, the blue portion no longer
displays.
You can further adjust charge settings:
•
Open Charge Port, Unlock Charge Port
and Stop Charging: When not charging,
touch Open Charge Port or Unlock
Charge Port to open the charge port door
or to unlock the charge cable from the
charge port. Use
Stop Charging when you
are finished charging.
•
Charge current at this location: 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 X
remembers the location. If you charge at
the same location, you do not need to
change it again.
NOTE: If Model X is charging and detects
unexpected fluctuations in input power,
the charging current is automatically
reduced by 25%. For example, a 40 amp
current is reduced to 30 amps. This
automatic current reduction increases
robustness and safety in situations when
an external problem exists (for example, a
home wiring system, receptacle, adapter
or cord is unable to meet its rated current
capacity). As a precaution, when
Model X
automatically reduces current, it saves the
reduced current at the charging location.
Although you can manually increase it,
Tesla recommends charging at the lower
current until the underlying problem is
resolved and the charging location can
provide consistent power.
• Schedule:
Depending on the setting you
select by touching Switch to Scheduled
Departure/Scheduled Charging, this
displays either a departure time for when
the vehicle should be preconditioned
and/or charged by or a time to start
charging (see Scheduled Charging and
Scheduled Departure on page 208).
•
Supercharging: Displays supercharger
usage fees, the location, the time that
charging started, and a cost estimate for
the session (see Supercharger Usage Fees
and Idle Fees on page 209).
NOTE: To reduce congestion at high-
usage supercharger sites, you may be
limited to a maximum charge of 80%
when not using Trip Planner (see
Trip
Planner on page 170).
Scheduled Charging and
Scheduled Departure
Toggle between Scheduled Departure and
Scheduled Charging by touching Controls >
Charging > Switch to Scheduled Charging/
Scheduled Departure when Model X is in
Park.
NOTE: Scheduled Charging/Scheduled
Departure settings are also available on the
Climate Controls screen and in the Tesla
mobile app.
Think of Scheduled Charging as "When do I
want charging to start?" compared to
Scheduled Departure O-Peak Charging
which is "When do I want charging to be
complete?"
Scheduled Charging can be used together
with Scheduled Departure Preconditioning
but not with Scheduled Departure O-Peak
Charging.
Scheduled Charging/Scheduled Departure
settings are automatically saved for each
location.
NOTE: If you plug in Model X with both O-
Peak Charging and Scheduled Charging
deselected, your vehicle charges immediately.
Using Scheduled Charging
Use Scheduled Charging to specify a daily
time in which you want Model X to start
charging.
