Charging components
A Tesla Motors High Power Connector is the
fastest way to recharge your vehicle.
During normal use, the High Power Connector
should be left on, even when the charging
cable is not connected to the vehicle. The
READY light on the control panel illuminates
green to indicate that the High Power
Connector is operating correctly.
Although the High Power Connector is on and
ready, no electricity is supplied until you
connect the charging cable to the vehicle, and
both the vehicle and the High Power
Connector determine that it is safe for
charging to begin.
For details on how to use the High Power
Connector to charge your vehicle, refer to the
manual titled “Charging Your Vehicle,”
provided in your owners package.
Mobile connector
The Tesla Motors Mobile Connector connects
into most power outlets to allow you to
charge your vehicle when you are away from
home. Its small size allows it to be carried in
the vehicle’s trunk. Keep in mind that it takes
longer to charge the vehicle using the Mobile
Connector than when using the High Power
Connector. Always check the vehicle’s charge
level before driving and plan your drive and
charging requirements accordingly. For
details on how to use a Mobile Connector to
charge your vehicle, refer to the manual titled
“Charging Your Vehicle,”
