Changing Charge SettingsThe charging screen displays on thetouchscreen whenever the charge port door is
open. To display the charging screen at any
time:Touch the Apps icon, then touch
the charging icon.
Note: The following illustration is provided for
demonstration purposes only and may vary
slightly depending on software version and
market region.
Note: If charging at a Tesla Supercharger, and
paid supercharging is potentially in effect, the
charging screen also displays information
about your previous or current Supercharger
session (see Supercharger Usage Fees and
Idle Fees on page 154).
Note: To reduce congestion at high-usage
supercharger sites, you may be automatically
limited to a maximum charge of 80% when not using Trip Planner (see Trip Information).
You can manually increase the limit by tapping
“Set Limit” on the touchscreen or mobile app.
1. Charge status messages (such as
Charging Scheduled, Charging) display
here.
2. To adjust the charge limit, touch Set Limit,
and drag the arrow to change the charge
limit setting. The setting you choose
applies to immediate and scheduled
charging sessions.
3. The current automatically sets to the
maximum current available from the
attached charge cable, unless it was
previously reduced to a lower level. If
needed, touch - or + to change the current
(for example, you may want to reduce the
current if you are concerned about
overloading a domestic wiring circuit
shared by other equipment). It is not
possible to set the charging current to a
level that exceeds the maximum available
from the attached charge cable. When
you change the current, Model S
remembers the location. If you charge at
the same location, you do not need to change it again.
Note: For 3-phase charging (if applicable
in your region), the available current
represents the current per phase (up to 32 amps). During charging, the right status

1. Charging status information. For example, when Model S is charging, it displays the time
remaining until fully charged at the currently selected charge level. When a charging session is
scheduled, it displays when charging starts.
2. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. To choose between displaying distance
or energy percentage, touch Controls > Display > Energy Display .
Note: A portion of the battery image may appear blue. This indicates that a small portion of
the energy stored in the battery is not available because the battery is cold. This is normal and
no reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
3. Charging rate per hour.
4. Estimated increase in driving distance (or energy) achieved so far in this charging session.
5. Current supplied/available from the connected power supply (see Changing Charge Settings
on page 152).
If connected to a 3-phase power supply (if applicable in your region), the
available current represents the current per phase and the 3-phase symbol
displays.
6. Voltage supplied by the charge cable.
Note: If Model S is charging and detects unexpected

When charging using a Tesla supercharger,
SUPERCHARGING information displays at the
bottom of the charging screen. This information includes the location, the time
that charging started, and an estimate of how
much the session will cost. When you stop
supercharging, the estimated cost of that
session displays until a new supercharging session begins. If free charging is applicable,
the estimated cost displays as zero.
Note: Estimated pricing is displayed for your

a vehicle equipped with the air
suspension system can result in the
vehicle becoming loose during transport,
which may cause significant damage.
