Note: If charging at a Tesla Supercharger, and
paid supercharging is potentially in effect, the
charging screen also displays information
about your previous or current Supercharger
session (see Supercharger Usage Fees and
Idle Fees on page 153).
Note: To reduce congestion at high-usage
supercharger sites, you may be automatically
limited to a maximum charge of 80% when
not using Trip Planner (see
You can manually increase the limit by tapping
"Set Limit" on the touchscreen or mobile app.

3. 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 - or + 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. If you charge at
the same location, you do not need to
change it again.
Note: If Model S automatically reduced the
current at a charging location because of
fluctuations in input power (see the note
in Charging Status
recommends charging at the lower
current until the underlying problem is
resolved and the charging location can
provide consistent power.
4. Touch to open the charge port door or to
start (or stop) charging.
5. Energy level.
6. Charging rate per hour, estimated increase
in driving distance (or energy) achieved
so far in this charging session, current
supplied/available from the connected
power supply, and voltage supplied by the
charge cable.
7. Location-specific schedule. With Model S
in Park, set a specific time to begin
charging at the current location. If, at the
scheduled time, Model S 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 (see
item 4). When you set a scheduled
charging time, Model S displays the set
time on the instrument panel and
touchscreen.
