Opening the Charge Port
The charge port is located on the left side of
Model 3, behind a door that is part of the rear
tail light assembly. Park so that the charge
cable easily reaches the charge port.
With Model 3 unlocked (or an authenticated
phone is within range) and in Park, press and
release the button on the Tesla charge cable
to open the charge port door.
You can also open the charge port door using
any of these methods:
• On the car status on the touchscreen,
touch the charging icon.
• On the "Cards" area on the touchscreen,
touch the charging icon, then press OPEN
CHARGE PORT.
• Press the bottom of the charge port door
when Model 3 is unlocked or an
authenticated phone is nearby.
Note: The Tesla "T" lights up white when you
open the charge port door. If you do not insert
a charge cable into the charge port within a
few minutes after opening the charge port
door, the charge port door closes. If this
happens, use the touchscreen to open the
charge port door again
Caution:
Do not try to force the charge
port door open.
Plugging In
If desired, use the touchscreen to change the
charge limit and the charging current (see
Charging Status and Settings on page 109).
To charge at a public charging station, attach
an adapter to the station’s charging connector.
The most commonly used adapter(s) for each
market region are provided. Depending on the
charging equipment you are using, you may
need to start and stop charging using a
control on the charging equipment.
If you are using the Mobile Connector, plug it
into the power outlet before plugging it into
Model 3.
Align the connector to the charge port and
insert fully. When the connector is properly
inserted, charging begins automatically after
Model 3:
• Engages a latch that holds the connector
in place;
• Shifts into Park (if it was in any other
gear);
• Heats or cools the Battery, if needed. If
the Battery requires heating or cooling,
you may notice a delay before charging
begins.
Note: Whenever Model 3 is plugged in but not
actively charging, it draws energy from the
wall outlet instead of using energy stored in
the Battery. For example, if you are sitting in
Model 3 and using the touchscreen while
parked and plugged in, Model 3 draws energy
from the wall outlet instead of the Battery.
Caution:
The connector end of the charge
cable can damage the paint if dropped
onto the vehicle.
During Charging
During charging, the charge port light (the
Tesla "T" logo) pulses green, and the
touchscreen displays the charging status. The
frequency at which the charge port light
pulses slows down as the charge level
approaches full. When charging is complete,
the light stops pulsing and is solid green.
Note: If Model 3 is locked, the charge port
light does not light up.
