OPERATING MODEL S | 12
Certain features are progressively enabled over time with software updates. Your Model S will
notify you when a software update is available and request that you select a time for the update
to download over the air. Along with a message, you will see a yellow clock icon appear in the
status bar on the touchscreen. Touching this icon will provide you with instructions for scheduling
a time to download the update.
Please note that Model S cannot be driven while a software update is installing. We suggest
scheduling the software installation overnight or during a period of time when the vehicle will not
be in use.
The average software update takes about one hour to complete but may take longer depending
on the size of the software update. Connect your Model S to your home’s Wi-Fi network for the
fastest possible download time.
