USB Connections
Your Model S has two USB connections
located on the front of the center console that
you can use to connect USB devices. You can
also use these connections to charge USB devices.
To play audio files stored on a connected USBdrive, see My Music & Devices on page 86.
Note: Do not connect multiple devices using a
USB hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized bythe touchscreen.
12V Power Socket
Your Model S has a power socket located on
the front of the center console. Power from
the socket is available whenever the
instrument panel and touchscreen are on.
The 12V power socket is suitable for
accessories requiring up to 15A or a maximum
of 180 watts.
Note: In situations where Model S is unable to
detect the key (low battery, interference, etc), place it immediately below the 12V power
socket where Model S can best detect it.
Warning: The power socket and an
accessory’s connector can become hot.
