Software Updates - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Software Updates

Loading New Software
Model S updates its software wirelessly, providing
new features throughout your term of ownership.
The first time you enter Model S after an update is
made available, a scheduling window displays on
the touchscreen.
Note: A software update can take up to two hours to
complete. Model S must be in P (Park) when the
new software is being installed. To ensure the
fastest and most reliable delivery of software
updates, leave the Wi-Fi turned on and connected
whenever possible (see
page 81).
When a software update is available, a yellow clock
icon appears on the touchscreen's status bar.
1.
Touch the up and down arrows to change the
installation time (if necessary). Then touch Set
For This Time to schedule the installation.
Once scheduled, the yellow clock icon on the
touchscreen's status bar becomes white.
2. Touch Install Now to immediately start the two-
hour installation process.
You can reschedule the installation any time before
it begins. To do so, touch the clock icon on the
touchscreen's status bar to display the update
window.
If Model S is charging when the software update
begins, charging stops. Charging resumes
automatically when the update is complete. If you
are driving Model S at the scheduled update time,
the update is canceled and you need to reschedule.
If the touchscreen displays a message indicating
that a software update was not successfully
completed, contact Tesla.
