Tesla MODEL S Operating Manual page 138

The Supercharger location is
operational. At locations with
multiple Superchargers, a row of
bars displays above the icon, with
each bar representing a
Supercharger. If a Supercharger is
in use, the bar is filled in to provide
a quick visual that indicates how
many Superchargers are currently
being used at the location.
Note: A supercharger pin is colored
black if the supercharger is on your
current navigation route.
The Supercharger location may be
out of operation or is operating at
a reduced capacity. Touch the pin
to display details.
When you touch the pin for a Supercharger
location, a popup displays information,
including the total number of Superchargers,
the number of Superchargers available, the
address of the Supercharger location, and its
approximate distance from your current
location. The popup also displays amenities
that are available at the Supercharger location,
including restrooms, restaurants, lodging,
shopping, and Wi-Fi.
Touch the map's charging icon to display all
nearby charging stations of the map. In
addition to the Superchargers that are always
displayed, the map shows destination chargers
and any public charging stations that you have
previously used. Display details about a
charging location by touching its pin.
The location is equipped with a
Tesla Wall Connector. Touch to
display more information such as
usage restrictions and available
charge current. The charging list
also displays your proximity to
these charging stations.
Note: When the map is zoomed out
and more than one Tesla Wall
Connector is available in an area,
the pin is round and displays the
number of stations. Touch the pin
to zoom in. Then you can touch an
individual pins for details about a
specific charging location.
Note: When navigating to a Supercharger
location, Model S may allocate energy to pre-
heat the Battery, ensuring you arrive at the

temperature, reducing the amount of time it
takes to charge. In some circumstances (such
as cold weather), it is normal for the front
motor to make noise as it generates heat to
warm the Battery (see
Before Supercharging
Predicting Energy Usage
When navigating to a destination, Model S
helps you anticipate your charging needs by
calculating the amount of energy that remains
when you reach your destination. The
calculation is an estimate based on driving
style (predicted speed, etc.) and
environmental factors (elevation changes,
temperature, etc.). When navigating, the map
displays this calculation at the bottom of the
expanded turn-by-turn direction list (see
Navigating on page 135). When the turn-by-
turn direction list is compressed, touch the top
of the list to expand it.
Throughout your route, Model S monitors
energy usage and updates the calculation. A
popup warning displays at the bottom of the
turn-by-turn direction list in these situations:
• A yellow warning displays when you have
very little energy remaining to reach your
destination and should drive slowly to
conserve energy. For tips on conserving
energy, see Getting Maximum Range
page 77.
• A red warning displays when you must
charge to reach your destination.
If you also want to know if you have enough
energy for a round trip, touch the energy
calculation to display an estimate of your
round trip energy usage.
Online Routing
Model S detects real-time traffic conditions
and automatically adjusts the estimated
driving and arrival times based on traffic. In
situations where traffic conditions will delay
your estimated time of arrival and an alternate
route is available, the navigation system can
reroute you to your destination. To turn this
feature on or off, touch the map's settings
icon (see Overview on page 134), then touch
Online Routing. You can also specify the
minimum amount of minutes that must be
saved before you are rerouted by touching the
arrows associated with the Re-Route if it saves
more than setting.
