Charge Port Light
• WHITE: The charge port door is open. Model X is
ready to charge and the connector is not inserted, or
the charge port latch is unlocked and the connector
is ready to be removed.
• BLUE: Model X detects that a connector has been
plugged in.
• BLINKING BLUE: Model X is communicating with the
connector. Either
Model X is preparing to charge, or a
charging session is scheduled to begin at a specified
future time.
•
BLINKING GREEN: Charging is in progress. As
Model X approaches a full charge, the frequency of
the blinking slows.
•
SOLID GREEN: Charging is complete.
• SOLID AMBER: The connector is not fully plugged in.
Realign the connector to the charge port and insert
fully.
•
BLINKING AMBER: Model X is charging at a reduced
current (AC charging only).
•
RED: A fault is detected and charging has stopped.
Check the
instrument panel or touchscreen for a fault
message.
During Charging
During charging, the charge port light pulses green, and
the
instrument panel displays the charging status. The
frequency at which the charge port light pulses slows
down as the charge level approaches full. When
charging is complete, the light stops pulsing and is solid
green.
NOTE: If Model X is locked, the charge port light does
not light up.
If the charge port light turns red while charging, a fault
is detected. Check the instrument panel or touchscreen
for a message describing the fault. A fault can occur due
to something as common as a power outage. If a power
outage occurs, charging resumes automatically when
power is restored.
NOTE: When charging, particularly at high currents, the
refrigerant compressor and fan operate as needed to
keep the Battery cool. Therefore, it is normal to hear
sounds during charging.
NOTE: Air conditioning performance is generally not
aected by charging. However, under certain
circumstances (for example, you are charging at high
currents during a particularly warm day), the air coming
from the vents may not be as cool as expected and a
message displays on the instrument panel. This is normal
behavior and ensures that the Battery stays within an
optimum temperature range while charging to support
longevity and optimum performance.
WARNING:
Never spray liquid at a high velocity
(for example, if using a pressure washer) towards
the charge port while charging. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious injury or
damage to the vehicle, charging equipment, or
property.
Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting the charge
cable or touching Stop Charging on the touchscreen.
NOTE: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of the
charge cable, the charge cable latch remains locked and
Model X must be unlocked or able to recognize your key
before you can disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1.
Press and hold the button on the connector handle to
release the latch.
NOTE: You can also release the latch by using the
touchscreen or mobile app, or by pressing and
holding the rear trunk button the key fob. If your
vehicle is equipped with a motorized charge port,
you can also press the button to the left of the
charge port to release the latch.
2.
Pull the connector from the charge port.
To disconnect the charge cable when using an adapter
at a public charge station:
1.
Ensure that Model X is unlocked.
2.
While holding the public charging handle in one hand
and the adapter in the other hand, press and hold the
button on the public charging handle and pull both
outwards, removing the handle and adapter at the
same time.
NOTE: If the charging station handle separates from
the adapter, leaving the adapter in
Model X, use the
touchscreen to unlock the charge port (touch the
charging icon on the overhead view of the vehicle).
3.
Press and hold the charging handle button again to
release the adapter from the charging handle.
CAUTION:
Tesla strongly recommends leaving
Model X plugged in when not in use. This
maintains the Battery at the optimum level of
charge.
Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge cable from
the charge port (using the charge handle release button,
touchscreen, or mobile app) do not work, carefully
follow these steps:
