NOTE: Air conditioning performance is generally not affected
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 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 using the lightning
icon on the car status overview on 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.
If the charge cable gets frozen stuck while plugged in due to
freezing temperatures, touch
Controls > Service > Inlet
Heater. This heats the charge port for up to two hours to
unfreeze the charging cable.
NOTE: You can also close the charge port door using any of
these methods:
• On the touchscreen, touch the Charge Port icon (lightning
bolt) on the car status overview.
•
On the touchscreen, navigate to Controls > Charging >
Close Charge Port.
•
Use voice commands to close the charge port door (see
Voice Commands on page 17).
CAUTION:
Never close the charge port door manually.
Doing so can cause damage.
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.
NOTE: You can also close the charge port door using any of
these methods:
•
On the touchscreen, touch the Charge Port icon (lightning
bolt) on the car status overview.
•
On the touchscreen, navigate to Controls > Charging >
Close Charge Port.
•
Use voice commands to close the charge port door (see
Voice Commands on page 17).
CAUTION: Never close the charge port door manually.
Doing so can cause damage.
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 75).
