Schedule preconditioning and charging for Model Y. You can
schedule preconditioning to help your vehicle charge more
efficiently, or to prepare Model Y for departure.
NOTE: You can also access Schedule from the Climate
Controls screen, the Charging window, and the Tesla mobile
app (v4.34.5 or higher required).
Model Y automatically saves your schedule for each location
you create a schedule at. When you select Current Location,
the configured schedule can only be used when you return to
the same approximate physical location.
NOTE: Scheduled charge cannot be used with fast chargers,
including Tesla Superchargers. Charging schedules you
create are ignored when you charge at a fast charger.
Create a Schedule
Create a Precondition and Charge schedule to specify the
time and days you want
Model Y to precondition or charge.
To create a schedule:
1.
Touch Controls > Schedule.
2. Select the location for which you want to configure a
schedule.
◦ Current Location: The current location of your car,
based on your GPS coordinates.
NOTE: You must be parked to create a schedule for
your current location.
◦
Home/Work: The saved location for your home and
workplace. You can't choose these options if you don't
have a saved home or work (see Home, Work, and
Favorite Destinations on page 146).
3.
Touch Precondition to configure the time and the
frequency you want the vehicle to precondition by.
4. Touch Charge to configure the time you want to start and
stop, and the frequency you want to charge.
5. Select Create to create the schedule.
NOTE: If Repeat Weekly is not toggled, Model Y performs the
schedule once. The vehicle then disables the schedule until
you manually re-enable the schedule.
Using Scheduled Charging
When you create or enable a scheduled charge, you can plug
in your vehicle for a charge. If you scheduled a precondition
or charge for later in the day, Model Y waits until that time to
precondition or charge.
When your schedules overlap, the vehicle uses the largest
block of time for charging, if necessary. Example: You
scheduled Model Y to start charging at 2 AM and at 3 AM,
but to stop charging at 2:30 AM and 5 AM, the vehicle
combines the two charge schedules into a single block from
2 AM to 5 AM.
When you specify an
End by time, but not a Start at time, the
vehicle briefly draws power when plugging in for scheduled
charging (you may hear clicking) to calculate the necessary
start time to meet your charge limit. Example: You configure
an End by time of 2 AM and the vehicle needs 2 hours to
charge to meet the charge limit. If you plug in your vehicle at
9 PM, Model Y briefly draws power to calculate the start time
and begins charging at 12 AM.
If you specify a Start at time and no End by time, the vehicle
begins charging at the specified time and continues until
your charge limit is reached.
There are scenarios where Scheduled Charging starts
immediately. These scenarios can occur when
Model Y is
plugged in:
•
During a scheduled charge.
•
Up to 6 hours after the start of a scheduled charge, if
there is no specified End by time.
•
When the next scheduled charge is more than 18 hours
away and not the current day.
•
When you haven't configured a Start at time and there is
not enough time to reach the charge limit by the End by
time.
NOTE: Model Y does NOT automatically start charging if you
plug in your vehicle within 6 hours after the End by time of a
scheduled charge, unless there is another scheduled charge.
You can schedule your charge to finish right at a planned
departure time to reduce energy costs, even in market
regions where off-peak utility rates are not applicable.
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 off-peak
utility rates are not applicable to you, Tesla recommends that
you charge until your planned departure time in order to
reduce energy consumption by specifying your departure
time as the scheduled
End by time.
Preconditioning
Use Precondition to schedule a time when you want Model Y
to be ready to drive. Model Y automatically calculates when it
needs to start preconditioning. This ensures that the cabin
climate and Battery are preconditioned by your departure
time.
Precondition warms the Battery for improved performance
and ensures a comfortable cabin climate at your set
departure time. If you don't schedule a Precondition, Model Y
only warms the Battery before charging if the Battery is too
cold to charge, and doesn't prepare the cabin climate.
NOTE: When Model Y is not plugged in, preconditioning
operates but only when the Battery's charge level is above
20%.
