If the charge port light turns red while
charging, a fault is detected. Check the
touchscreen for a message describing the
fault. A fault can occur due to something as
common as a power outage. If a power outage
occurs, charging resumes automatically when
power is restored.
Note: When charging, particularly at high
currents, the refrigerant compressor and fan
operate as needed to keep the Battery cool.
Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during
charging.
Note: Air conditioning performance is
generally not
aected by charging. However,
under certain circumstances (for example, you
are charging at high currents during a
particularly warm day), the air coming from
the vents may not be as cool as expected and
a message displays on the touchscreen. This is
normal behavior and ensures that the Battery
stays within an optimum temperature range
while charging to support longevity and
optimum performance.
Warning: Never spray liquid at a high
velocity (for example, if using a pressure
washer) towards the charge port while
charging. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or
damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.
Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting
the charge cable or touching Stop Charging
on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of
the charge cable, Model 3 must be unlocked
or able to recognize your authenticated phone
before you can disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on a Tesla
connector to release the latch. You can
also touch Stop Charging on the charging
screen (see Charging Status and Settings
on page 109).
2. Pull the connector from the charge port.
Note: The charge port automatically closes
within approximately 10 seconds of removing
the connector from the charge port.
Caution:
Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model 3 plugged in when not in
use. This maintains the Battery at the
optimum level of charge.
Charge Port Light
• WHITE: The charge port door is open.
Model 3 is ready to charge and the
connector is not inserted, or the latch is
released and the connector is ready to be
removed.
• BLUE: Model 3 detects that a connector
has been plugged in, but charging has not
started. Either Model 3 is preparing to
charge, or a charging session is scheduled
to begin at a
specified future time.
• BLINKING GREEN: Charging is in
progress. As Model 3 approaches a full
charge, the frequency of the blinking
slows.
• SOLID GREEN: Charging is complete.
• SOLID AMBER: The connector is not fully
plugged in. Realign the connector to the
charge port and insert fully.
• BLINKING AMBER: Model 3 is charging at
a reduced current (AC charging only).
• RED: A fault is detected and charging has
stopped. Check the touchscreen for a fault
message.
Charging Status and Settings
The charging screen displays on the
touchscreen whenever the charge port door is
open.
To display charge settings at any
time, touch the charging icon on
the "Cards" area on the
touchscreen.
The charging screen displays a representative
image of the status of the Battery and
information about your charging session
including:
• Charging rate (in kilowatt hours, miles per
hour, or kilometers per hour, depending on
your display setting).
• Added energy or estimated increase in
driving distance achieved so far in this
charging session (in kilowatt hours, miles
per hour, or kilometers per hour,
depending on your display setting).
• Current supplied/available from the
connected power supply.
• Voltage supplied by the charge cable.
Note: To access the setting to change how
energy units are displayed, touch Controls >
Display > Settings > Energy Display.
