Tesla Model S Quick Start Manual page 2

 Rear Hatch – three ways to open/close: 1). Press twice on rear part of the Key FOB, 2). Press
the latch on the outside of the hatch below the "T" logo and above the license plate and 3).
Press the hatch button on the inside of the bottom of the hatch.
 FRUNK – if you don't need to use it keep it closed. FRUNK can be opened by pressing twice
on the front part of the Key FOB. It does not close automatically. It is VERY EASY to warp the
hood if you close the FRUNK improperly. You have to pull down the front and gently place
the latch onto the mechanism and gently press down on the ends of the FRUNK not the
center. The aluminum hood will deform if the FRUNK is not gently closed. Apparently TESLA
knows every time a door opens or closes so just be warned if it warps under your rental, it is
recorded. Just not worth the trouble!
 Battery recharge: touch the white Z on the top of the 17" screenand the charge screen will
pop up and you can set the battery charge level. ONLY use the trip charge level maybe once
a day; rest of the time try for 70-80% charge level. There are detents on the battery icon to
show you every 10% charge level. Car will warn you about excessive full charging. Touch
"open charge port" icon and left rear charge port will open. It will turn blue when ready to
accept charger, then green if connection is correct and white when finished. It will glow
amber if not a correct contact (see warning on IP too). To remove, unlock the car, approach
the charging port and carefully remove when the color changes from green to white.
 Charging and Supercharging: Located at Atlantic Station Red Level P1 (10 stalls) and at Tesla
Decatur Store (4 stalls) makes recharging quick and easy. Just park in the space – get close
enough to the charge cord and click 'open charge port' and connector will be able to be
installed or removed. You will see the Supercharging message go on and see the Tesla
charging at over 300 Volts and 170 Amps. Superchargers can be a little tricky to get right
connection. When finished, go to screen and click 'unlock charge port'. Using the L2 adaptor,
remove the std. J1772 connector first, then add the Tesla L2 adaptor. My Tesla APP will get
an alert every time you charge so don't hesitate to contact me if you run into problems. I will
likely text you when the vehicle is charged enough to be driven away.
Warning: aggressive driving will drain the battery quickly. If you are driving at 75+ MPH and

see your Watts/Mile above 325 your battery is going to run out fairly quickly! Please ensure
that you head to a supercharger or Level 2 station when you reach 50 miles of rated battery
range if you are driving in metro Atlanta. That will safely get you to either Atlantic Station or
Decatur superchargers. If you are traveling to South Georgia, plan your trip using the
Navigation setting so you can be routed through either Macon or Tifton Superchargers.
Please allow the battery to recharge to 80% (160 miles). If you run out of battery range, you
will be responsible for flatbed towing and repairs to the battery pack if it is damaged by
running out of power.
