TESLA MODEL S 2021 Owner´s Manual

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 software and map updates, Tesla
recommends leaving your vehicle connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever possible (for
example, if parked in your garage overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1.
Touch the cellular icon (usually LTE or 3G)
on the top of the Controls screen. Model S begins to scan and display
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not
appear in the list, move your vehicle
closer to the access point or consider
using a range extender to reach your
vehicle.
2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use,
enter the password (if necessary), then
touch
Confirm.
3.
Your vehicle connects to the Wi-Fi
network. Whenever the network is within
range,
Model S automatically connects to
it.
You can also connect to a hidden network

NOTE: In extremely cold weather or icy
conditions, it is possible that your charge port
latch may freeze in place. In cases where you
cannot remove or insert the charge cable, or
the vehicle is not Supercharging due to the latch being frozen in place, use your Tesla
mobile app to precondition your vehicle on
HI for approximately 30-45 minutes (you must
use your mobile app to precondition the
vehicle; setting your climate to
HI using the
touchscreen is not effective). This can help
thaw ice on the charge port latch so the charge cable can be removed or inserted.

Charging Equipment
Charging equipment designed specifically to
charge your Model S is available from Tesla. A
Tesla Wall Connector, which installs in your
parking space, is the fastest way to charge
Model S in daily use.
In most market regions, Model S is equipped
with a Mobile Connector and the adapter(s)
needed to plug into the most commonly used power outlets. When using the Mobile
Connector,
first plug the Mobile Connector
into the power outlet, attach an adapter (if
needed), and then plug in
Model S. For more
information about your Mobile Connector, see
the Mobile Connector Owner

About the Battery
Model S 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 S for several weeks.
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
