If the charge port light turns red while
charging, a fault is detected. Check the
touchscreen for an alert 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: It is normal to hear sounds during
charging. Particularly at high currents, the
refrigerant compressor and fan operate as
needed to keep the Battery cool.
NOTE: Air conditioning performance is
generally not aected by charging. However,
in some circumstances (for example, 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
touchscreen. This is normal
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, a pressure
washer) towards the charge port while
charging. Doing so 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 Y must be
unlocked or able to recognize your
authenticated phone before you can
disconnect the charge cable.
NOTE:
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
using the touchscreen or mobile app, or
by pressing and holding the rear trunk
button on the key fob.
2. Pull the connector from the charge port.
The charge port door automatically
closes.
To disconnect the charge cable when using
an adapter at a public charge station:
1. Unlock Model Y.
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 Y, use the touchscreen
to unlock the charge port.
3.
Press and hold the button on the charging
handle again to release the adapter from
the public charging handle.
NOTE: The charge port door automatically
closes within approximately 10 seconds of
removing the connector from the charge port.
CAUTION: Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model Y plugged in when not
in use. This maintains the Battery at
the optimum level of charge.
CAUTION: Model Y does not shift out
of Park if the charge port is unable to
determine whether a charging cable is
plugged in. Ensure the charging cable
is unplugged and follow the
instructions on the touchscreen to
proceed (see Park on page 59).
Charge Settings
Access charge settings by touching Controls
> Charging when Model Y is in Park. You can
also touch the battery icon on the
touchscreen to access charge settings.
