Tesla MODEL X - Page 177

NOTE: If Model X automatically reduced the current
at a charging location because of fluctuations in input
power (see the note in Charging Status on page
175), 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, estimated increase in driving distance
(or energy) achieved so far in this charging session,
duration of charging session so far, current supplied/
available from the connected power supply, and
voltage supplied by the charge cable.
7.
With Model X in Park, set a specific time to prepare
Model X for departure by charging during o-peak
hours and preconditioning the cabin for comfort (see
Scheduled Charging and Scheduled Departure on
page 175).
Charging Status
The following illustration is provided for demonstration
purposes only and may vary slightly depending on the
software version and market region.
1.
Charging status information. For example, when
Model X is charging, it displays the time remaining
until fully charged at the currently selected charge
level. When a charging session is scheduled, it
displays when charging starts.
2.
Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available.
To choose between displaying distance or energy
percentage, touch
Controls > Display > Energy
Display.
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.
3. Charging rate per hour.
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.
Scheduled Charging and Scheduled
Departure
With Model X in Park, you can touch Schedule to set a
daily time when you want Model X to be ready to drive.
This ensures that charging is complete and/or the cabin
climate is comfortably preconditioned by your departure
time.
Alternatively, you can switch to Scheduled Charging to
specify a daily time in which you want Model X to start
charging.
NOTE: Only one of these features can be enabled. To
enable
Scheduled Charging, you must first disable
Scheduled Departure, and vice versa.
Using Scheduled Departure
When Scheduled Departure is displayed, touch
Schedule to set a daily time when you want Model X to
be ready to drive. Specify a time, then touch
Settings to
enable either or both of the following departure
features:
•
Preconditioning warms the Battery for improved
performance and ensures a comfortable cabin
climate at your set departure time.
NOTE: Preconditioning operates only when the
Battery's charge level is at least 20%.
•
O-Peak Charging automatically charges the Battery
during o-peak hours to reduce energy costs. Touch
Change O-Peak Hours to customize the time when
o-peak utility rates end.
NOTE: Choosing O-Peak Charging can reduce
energy costs even in market regions where o-peak
utility rates are not applicable. For example, if
charging starts as soon as you plug in, charging may
complete much sooner. This causes the Battery to
cool down to ambient temperatures and requires
energy to warm it back up by your departure time.
Therefore, even if
o-peak utility rates are not
applicable to you, it is recommended that you set
O-Peak Hours to the same time as your departure
time in order to reduce energy consumption.
