Changing Charge Settings
The charge settings screen displays on the touchscreen whenever the charge port door is open.
To display charge settings at any time, touch the Battery icon on the top of the touchscreen, or
touch Controls > Charging (located in the upper right portion of the Controls screen).
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only and may vary slightly
depending on the software version and market region of your Model S.
1. Charge status messages (such as Charging Scheduled, Charging In Progress) display here.
2. To adjust the charge limit, touch Set Charge Limit, then touch the arrows to move the charge
limit setting in 10% increments for daily driving, and 2% increments for trips. The setting you
choose applies to both immediate and scheduled charging sessions.
3.
Location-specific schedule. With Model S in Park, set a specific time when you want Model S
to begin charging at the current location. If, at the scheduled time, Model S is not plugged in
at the location, it will start charging as soon as you plug it in as long as you are plugging it in
within six hours of the scheduled time. If you plug in after six hours, Model S does not start
charging until the scheduled time on the next day. To override this setting, touch Start
Charging or Stop Charging (see item 4). When you set a scheduled charging time, Model S
displays the set time on the instrument panel and the touchscreen.
4. Touch to open the charge port door or to start (or stop) charging.
5. 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 the up/down arrows 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 S remembers the location. So if you subsequently
charge at the same location, you do not need to change it again.
Note: If Model S automatically reduced a charging location's current because of fluctuations in
input power (see the note in Charging Status on page 136), Tesla recommends charging at
the lower current until the underlying problem is resolved and the charging location can
provide consistent power.
