Interior Storage and Electronics
NOTE: The wireless phone charger may not work if your
phone case is too large or is made of metal. Try
removing the phone from its case before placing in the
charger.
CAUTION: The phone must be in direct contact
with the wireless charger. Do not place objects
between the phone and the charger (for example,
credit cards, key cards, coins, keys, metal objects,
etc.).
Low Voltage Power Socket
Your Model Y has a power socket located in the center
console's rear compartment.
The power socket is suitable for accessories requiring up
to 12A continuous draw (16A peak).
NOTE: For vehicles manufactured after approximately
November 2021, power inverters plugged into the low
voltage power socket must support 16V DC input to
function.
An additional low voltage power socket is located on the
left side of the rear trunk.

NOTE: Power is available whenever the vehicle is
considered "awake". The vehicle may be awake for many
reasons. For example, when using features such as
Summon, or when features such as Preconditioning,
Cabin Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode,
Camp Mode, Sentry Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle
is also awake whenever the low voltage battery is being
charged or is in use, during HV charging, when the
vehicle is communicating with the mobile app, etc.
Leaving an accessory plugged in does not deplete the
low voltage battery.
WARNING: The power socket and an accessory's
connector can become hot.
WARNING: To prevent excessive interference with
the vehicle's electronics, Tesla recommends that
you do not plug any non-Tesla accessories,
including power inverters, into the low voltage
power socket. However, if you do use a non-Tesla
accessory and notice any malfunctions or
unexpected behavior, such as indicator lights, alert
messages, or excessive heat from the accessory,
unplug the accessory from the low voltage power
socket immediately.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to jump start Model Y
using the low voltage power socket. Doing so can
result in damage.
USB Ports
Model Y has two USB ports located in the front
compartment of the center console. These ports can be
used to:
• Connect and charge USB devices.
• Play audio files stored on a phone or USB device (see
Playing Media from Devices on page
• Save videos when using features such as Sentry
Mode or Dashcam (see
page 152).
NOTE: The preferred location for saving videos for
Sentry Mode or Dashcam is using the USB port
located in the glove box. Using this port increases
security and minimizes power consumption.
NOTE: For some vehicles manufactured after
approximately November 1, 2021, the center console USB
ports may only support charging devices. Use the USB
port inside the glove box for all other functions.
Both ports are USB-C compatible.
Open the front compartment of the center console. The
front USB ports are located on the rear wall of the
compartment.
