Schedule The Charge Time; Setting Current Limit; Cost - Tesla Roadster 2 Owner's Manual

This setting also charges the cells within the
Battery to the maximum available level.
To preserve the life of the Battery, this charge
setting is automatically cancelled and reverts
back to Standard after 72 hours or if the
vehicle's charging port door is opened after
the vehicle has been driven over a tenth of a
mile (.16 kms).
Caution: Repeated use of the
Performance setting reduces the
lifetime of the cells within the Battery.

Schedule the charge time

If you don't want the vehicle to begin
charging immediately after you plug it in, you
can set a charge start time. This is a useful
way to charge the vehicle during non-peak
hours when there is less demand on your
electrical system and your electricity may
cost less.

Setting current limit

The charging current is automatically set to
the maximum possible value available from
the attached power supply. With the
charging port door open, you can use the
Touch Screen's charge settings screen to
manually change the current. If you do so, the
changed value remains in effect for the
current location until you manually change it.
The vehicle location is determined by the
internal global positioning system (GPS). This
allows you to set a different current limit for
each of your charging locations.

Cost

You can display the cost of a charge on the
Touch Screen when the vehicle has finished
charging. You can obtain an accurate reading
of your power cost for each charge cycle by
entering the cost of power (in kWh) on the
Cost Settings screen. In most areas, you can
obtain your power costs from your utility bill.

the Touch Screen Users Manual provided in
your owners package.
