NOTE: Refer to the information on the vehicle touchscreen
(navigate to Controls > Charging) or the mobile App
(touch the Charging icon) for recommended daily and trip
charging limits.
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.
Slide the charge limit past the daily recommended charge
limit for a pop-up option to temporarily charge above the
daily recommended limit for one-time only. This is helpful
for long trips and, if selected, resets back to the previous
charge limit.
You can further adjust charge settings:
•
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 Y remembers the location. If
you charge at the same location, you do not need to
change it again.
When charging using the Mobile Connector with
domestic outlets, your vehicle may automatically select a
default charge current. Override this default current to a
higher setting by customizing
Charge Current at this
location or through the mobile app.
• 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. You can also touch the
lightning icon near the charge port on the car status
overview. Use Stop Charging when you are finished
charging.
•
Schedule: Displays the precondition and charging
schedule. You can create a precondition or charge
schedule for your saved home and work locations, or your
current location (see
Scheduled Precondition and Charge
on page 165).
•
Charge on Solar at this location: If available in your region,
setup your vehicle with your Tesla Powerwall to charge
from excess solar production, using the Tesla mobile app.
When your vehicle is plugged in at home and Charge on
Solar is enabled, your vehicle charges up to the minimum
charge limit from any source and then continues charging
on only excess solar power up to the maximum charge
limit. If a scheduled charge or precondition is configured,
your vehicle uses any excess solar and waits until the
designated time to charge from any source to the
minimum charge limit.
System requirements: Vehicle
software 2023.26 or higher, Powerwall software 23.12.10
or higher and Tesla mobile app 4.22.5 or higher.
System
requirements outside of North America: Vehicle software
2023.32 or higher, Powerwall software 23.12.10 or higher
and Tesla mobile app 4.30.5 or higher.
•
Supercharging: Displays Supercharger usage fees, the
location, the time that charging started, and a cost
estimate for the session (see Supercharger Fees on page
162).
NOTE: To reduce congestion at high-usage Supercharger
sites, you may be limited to a maximum charge of 80%
when not using Trip Planner (if available in your market
region). See Trip Planner on page 148).
Supercharger Fees
When charging at a Tesla Supercharger, information about
the charging session displays at the bottom of the charging
screen. This includes the location, the time that charging
started, and a cost estimate for the session. When you stop
Supercharging, the estimated cost of the session displays
until a new Supercharging session begins.
NOTE: Estimated cost may not reflect the final cost of the
Supercharging session. Final pricing for Supercharging
sessions can be found in your Tesla account.
You are subject to additional fees after charging is complete
or, at a busy Supercharger location, after your vehicle has
reached the congestion limit. Superchargers are designed for
fast charging, and these fees encourage drivers to move their
vehicles when charging is complete. The rate structure for
each site, including whether idle or congestion fees apply,
can be found on the site’s popup on the touchscreen (see
Charging Locations on page 147) or in the Tesla mobile app.
• Idle fees apply when half or more of the Superchargers at
a site are occupied, and begin accruing when the vehicle
reaches its charge limit. The Tesla mobile app notifies you
when charging is almost complete, and again when
charging is complete. Additional notifications are sent if
idle fees are incurred. Idle fees are waived if you move
your vehicle within five minutes of when charging
completed.
• United States only: Congestion fees apply at select
Supercharger locations that are often busy. Congestion
fees accrue when the station is at capacity and the
vehicle’s battery charge level is above the congestion
limit. Fees are waived for the first five minutes, and then
billed until the vehicle is moved.
Log into your Tesla account to view fees and details about
Supercharger sessions, set up a payment method, and make
payments. Once a payment method is saved, fees are
automatically paid from your account.
