Adapters Attaching the Adapter To attach an adapter, line up the adapter with the controller of the Mobile Connector and push it into the socket until it snaps into place. Note: The Mobile Connector automatically detects the attached adapter and sets the appropriate current draw.
How to Charge Plugging In Note: Always inspect the Mobile Connector for damage prior to each use. Ensure that the Mobile Connector’s adapter matches the outlet you want to use. For instructions on how to change the adapter, see Changing the Adapter. Plug the Mobile Connector’s adapter into the power outlet.
Note: If your vehicle is not equipped with a motorized charge port door, you may need to push the door closed. Tesla recommends leaving the Mobile Connector plugged into the wall outlet to reduce wear and tear from day-to-day use. If you do not plan to use the Mobile Connector for a while (such as when you leave for vacation), unplug it, and store it in an appropriate location.
