9. With a 10mm socket, loosen the nut and release the
battery hold down from the top of the low voltage
lead-acid battery by unhooking and slipping it back. If needed, tilt the battery hold down backward so it does not slip into the vehicle.10.
Carefully remove the low voltage lead-acid battery,
taking care not to damage the surrounding components.
WARNING: When lifting the lead-acid battery,
stand in front of the vehicle and use proper
lifting technique. The lead-acid battery weighs
approximately 25 lb (12 kg). Failure to do so
may cause serious injury.
11.
Inspect the new low voltage lead-acid battery to make sure it is equipped with a red plug on the
positive (+) terminal side. If the new lead-acid battery does not have a red plug, transfer the red plug from
the old battery to the new one.
CAUTION: Dispose of the old low voltage lead-
acid battery according to local laws, such as
dropping it off at a battery recycling facility.
Keep the battery upright and place it on a towel
or piece of cardboard when transporting it.
Installation:
1.
Remove the protective caps from the positive (+) and negative (-) posts on the new low voltage lead-acid battery.
2.
Carefully place the new lead-acid battery in the vehicle, taking care not to damage nearby
components.
3.
Install the low voltage lead-acid battery hold down
and use a 10mm socket to tighten the nut that secures it to the battery. Torque the nut to 6 Nm (4.4
ft-lb).

voltage battery (see
Jump Starting on page 225):
Transport Mode may cancel if
Model 3 loses low voltage
power after Transport Mode is enabled.

and you therefore cannot use the touchscreen to
activate Transport Mode, use self-loading dollies or
tire skates. Before doing so, always check the
manufacturer

Wall plug adapter error - Charge rate reduced
Plug adapter fully into Mobile Connector and retry
What this alert means:
Your Mobile Connector is unable to communicate with the wall plug adapter. Because your Mobile Connector cannot
identify the type of wall outlet the wall plug adapter is connected to, charge current is automatically reduced to 8A.
What to do:
1.
Unplug your Mobile Connector, including the wall plug adapter, completely from the wall outlet.
2.
Make sure the connection between the wall plug adapter and the main body of your Mobile Connector is secure.
a.
Disconnect the wall plug adapter completely from the main body of your Mobile Connector.
b.
Fully reinsert the wall plug adapter into the main body of your Mobile Connector by pushing it into the socket until it snaps into place.
3.
Try charging again by plugging the Mobile Connector, including wall plug adapter, fully into the wall outlet.
4.
If the alert persists, try using a different wall plug adapter (see steps above to make sure the adapter is fully
connected to your Mobile Connector).
a.
If the alert is no longer present, the issue is likely with the wall plug adapter you were using previously.
b.
If the alert persists, the issue is likely with your Mobile Connector.
If needed, obtain another wall plug adapter or Mobile Connector. In the meantime, you can continue to charge with
the same equipment. The charge rate will be reduced, as charge current will be limited to 8A while this condition
persists.
You can also try charging your vehicle using a Tesla Supercharger or Destination Charging location, all of which can
be located through the map on your vehicle
