Scheduled Charging and Scheduled
Departure
There are two ways in which you can schedule
your vehicle's charging:
• Scheduled Charging: When you set a
scheduled charging time, Model Y displays
the set time to begin charging when you
are parked at the scheduled location. If, at
the scheduled time, Model Y is not
plugged in at the location, charging starts
as soon as you plug it in, provided you
plug it in within six hours of the scheduled
time. If plugged in after six hours,
charging does not start until the
scheduled time on the next day. To
override this setting, touch Start Charging
or Stop Charging.
• Scheduled Departure: For any location,
such as Home, you can simply plug in
Model Y and select a time for when you
want your vehicle to be ready to drive.
Once your specified time is set, Model Y
prepares itself by determining the best
time to start charging to optimize energy
costs, Battery longevity, and ensure
charging completes in time for your drive.
Your vehicle also preconditions the cabin
to a comfortable temperature and warms
the Battery. To set up a scheduled
departure time, go to Charging >
Scheduled Departure > Schedule and
follow the onscreen instructions to
customize your schedule.
Scheduled Charging is best used to determine
when your vehicle should start charging;
Scheduled Departure is best used to
determine when charging should complete for
your drive.
Note: Your vehicle aims to finish charging
before 6am (end of o-peak hours). If given
sucient time to charge, charging may stop at
6am, even if your scheduled departure is later.
The vehicle warms the Battery and
preconditions the cabin shortly before your
scheduled departure time. If the vehicle does
not have enough time to complete charging
before 6am, it will continue to charge until it
reaches the target Battery percentage.
Note: If your vehicle is not plugged into a
charger, Scheduled departure will not
precondition the cabin or battery.
Supercharger Usage Fees and Idle
Fees
When charging using a Tesla supercharger,
SUPERCHARGING information displays at the
bottom of the charging screen. This
information includes the location, the time
that charging started, and an estimate of how
much the session will cost. When you stop
supercharging, the estimated cost of that
session displays until a new supercharging
session begins.
Note: Estimated pricing is displayed for your
convenience only and may not reflect the
actual final price you will be charged for that
supercharging session. Final pricing for
supercharging sessions can be found in your
Tesla Account.
When charging at a Tesla supercharger, you
are subject to idle fees. Idle fees are designed
to encourage drivers to move their vehicle
from the Supercharger when charging is
complete. Idle fees are in eect only when half
or more of the Superchargers at a site are
occupied. The Tesla mobile app notifies you
when charging nears completion, 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 charging completion.
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.
