Charging Instructions
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 X
remembers the location. If you charge at
the same location, you do not need to
change it again.
Note: For 3-phase charging (if applicable
in your region), the available current
represents the current per phase (up to 32
amps). During charging, the right status
flag displays the 3-phase symbol in front
of the displayed current.
Note: If Model X automatically reduced
the current at a charging location because
of fluctuations in input power (see the
note in Charging Status
Tesla 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 X
in Park, set a specific time to begin
charging at the current location (see
Scheduled Charging and Scheduled
Departure on page 170).
Scheduled Charging and Scheduled
Departure
There are two ways in which you can schedule
your vehicle's charging:
170
on page 171),
• Scheduled Charging: When you set a
scheduled charging time, Model X displays
the set time to begin charging when you
are parked at the scheduled location. If, at
the scheduled time, Model X 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. When you set a
scheduled charging time, Model X displays
the set time on the instrument panel and
touchscreen.
• Scheduled Departure: For any location,
such as Home, you can simply plug in
Model X and select a time for when you
want your vehicle to be ready to drive.
Once your specified time is set, Model X
prepares itself by determining the best
time to start charging to optimize energy
costs, battery longevity, and ensure
charging is complete in time for your
drive. Your vehicle also pre-conditions the
cabin to a comfortable temperature and
wamrs the battery. To set up a scheduled
departure time, go to Charging >
Scheduled Departure > Schedule and
follow the onscreen instructions to
customize your schedule.
Scheduled Charging is best used to determine
when your vehicle should start charging;
Scheduled Departure is best used to
determine when charging should complete for
your drive.
Note: Your vehicle aims to finish charging
before 6am (end of off-peak hours). If given
sufficient time to charge, charging may stop at
6am, even if your scheduled departure is later.
If the vehicle does not have enough time to
complete charging before 6am, it will continue
to charge until it reaches the target battery
percentage.
Note: If your vehicle is not plugged into a
charger, Scheduled departure will not pre-
condition the cabin or battery.
