Predicting Energy UsageWhen navigating to a destination, Model 3
helps you anticipate your charging needs by
calculating the amount of energy that remains
when you reach your destination. The
calculation is an estimate based on driving
style (predicted speed, etc.) and
environmental factors (elevation changes,
temperature, etc.). When navigating, the map
displays this calculation at the bottom of the
expanded turn-by-turn direction list (see
Navigating on page 107). When the turn-by-
turn direction list is compressed, touch the top
of the list to expand it.
Throughout your route, Model 3 monitors
energy usage and updates the calculation. A
popup warning displays at the bottom of the turn-by-turn direction list in these situations:

Media and Audio
Overview

viewing that you can access by dragging the
Media Player window upward or downward. Initially, just the Miniplayer displays. The
Miniplayer, which occupies the least amount of space on the touchscreen, displays what

Note: Your phone automatically disconnects
whenever you leave Model 3.
Note: Unpairing the phone has no effect on
using the phone as a key. To forget an
authenticated phone, see Keys on page 7.
Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model 3 automatically connects with the last
phone to which it was connected, provided it
is within operating range and has Bluetooth turned on. If the last phone is not within range,
it attempts to connect with the next phone
that it has been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the
Bluetooth icon on the top of the touchscreen.
The Bluetooth window displays a list of paired
phones. Choose the phone you want to connect to, then touch Connect. If the phone
you want to connect to is not listed, you must
pair the phone. See Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
on page 114.
When connected, the Model 3 touchscreen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to thephone name to show that the connection is
active.
Using the Phone App When your phone is connected to Model 3
using Bluetooth, and you have allowed access to your phone

Connecting to Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no cellular connectivity.
To ensure fast, reliable delivery of Model 3
updates (see Software Updates on page 122),
Tesla recommends leaving Wi-Fi turned on and connected to a Wi-Fi network. To connectto a Wi-Fi network:
1. Touch the LTE (or 3G) icon in the
touchscreen status bar. Model 3 will start
scanning and display the Wi-Fi networks
that are within range.
2. Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use,
enter the password (if necessary), then
touch Connect .
You can also connect to a hidden network that
isn

Software Updates
Loading New Software
Model 3 updates its software wirelessly,
providing new features throughout your term of ownership. Tesla recommends that you
install software updates as soon as they are
available. The first time you enter Model 3
after an update is made available, a scheduling
window displays on the touchscreen. The
scheduling window displays again at the end
of your first driving session.
Note: Some software updates can take up to
three hours to complete. Model 3 must be in
Park while 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 Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 121).
Warning: Do not attempt to use the
vehicle while the software is being
updated. Vehicle functions, including
some safety systems, may be limited or disabled while a software update is inprogress and you could damage the
vehicle.
When a software update is available, a yellow
clock icon appears on the touchscreen’s status
bar. Touch this clock icon to display the
update window. You can then either:

Battery Information
About the Battery
Model 3 has one of the most sophisticated
battery systems in the world. The most
important way to preserve the Battery is to LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when
you are not using it. This is particularly important if you are not planning to drive
Model 3 for several weeks. When plugged in,
Model 3 wakes up when needed to
automatically maintain a charge level that
maximizes the lifetime of the Battery.
Note: When left idle and unplugged, your
vehicle periodically uses energy from the Battery for system tests and recharging the
12V battery when necessary.
There is no advantage to waiting until the
Battery’s level is low before charging. In fact, the Battery performs best when charged
regularly.
Note: If the Model 3 Battery becomes
completely discharged in a situation in which
towing is required, the owner is responsible
for towing expenses. Discharge-related towing
expenses are not covered under the Roadside
Assistance policy.
The peak charging rate of the Battery may
decrease slightly after a large number of DC
Fast Charging sessions, such as those at
Superchargers. To ensure maximum driving
range and Battery safety, the Battery charge
rate is decreased when the Battery is too cold,
when the Battery’s charge is nearly full, and when the Battery conditions change with
usage and age. These changes in the condition of the Battery are driven by battery physics
and may increase the total Supercharging
duration by a few minutes over time.
Battery Care
Never allow the Battery to fully discharge.
Even when Model 3 is not being driven, its
Battery discharges very slowly to power the
onboard electronics. The Battery can
discharge at a rate of approximately 1% per day, though the discharge rate may vary
depending on environmental factors (such as
cold weather), vehicle configuration, and your
selected settings on the touchscreen.
Situations can arise in which you must leave
Model 3 unplugged for an extended period of time (for example, at an airport when
traveling). In these situations, keep the 1% in
mind to ensure that you leave the Battery with a sufficient charge level. For example, over a
two week period (14 days), the Battery may
discharge by approximately 14%.
Discharging the Battery to 0% may result in
damage to vehicle components. To protect
against a complete discharge, Model 3 enters
a low-power consumption mode when the
displayed charge level drops to approximately
0%. In this mode, the Battery stops supporting
the onboard electronics and auxiliary 12V
battery. Once this low-power consumption
mode is active, immediately plug in Model 3 to
prevent a jump-start and 12V battery
replacement.
Note: If the vehicle is unresponsive and will
not unlock, open, or charge, then the 12V
battery may have become discharged. In this
situation, contact Tesla.
Temperature Limits
For better long-term performance, avoid
exposing Model 3 to ambient temperatures
above 140

Model 3 and using the touchscreen whileparked and plugged in, Model 3 draws energyfrom 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 thetouchscreen 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.
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 affected 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, the charge cable latch
remains locked and 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
touchscreen (see Charging Status and
Settings on page 128).
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.
Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge
cable from the charge port (using the charge
handle release button, touchscreen, or mobile
app) do not work, carefully follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Model 3 is not actively
charging by displaying the charging
screen on the touchscreen. If necessary,
touch Stop Charging .
2. Open the rear trunk.
3. Pull the charge port

driven 15 mph (25 km/h) for longer than 10
minutes.
Replacing a Tire Sensor
If the Tire Pressure warning indicator displays frequently, contact Tesla to determine if a tire
sensor needs to be replaced. If a non-Tesla
Service Center repairs or replaces a tire, the
tire sensor may not work until Tesla performs
the setup procedure.
TPMS Malfunction
Model 3 has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the tire pressure
indicator light. When the system
detects a malfunction, the indicator
