2016 TESLA MODEL S battery location

Changing Charge SettingsThe charge settings screen displays on the
touchscreen whenever the charge port door is
open.
To display charge settings at any time, touch the Battery icon on the top of the
touchscreen, or touch Controls > Charging
(located in the upper right portion of the
Controls screen).
Note: The following illustration is provided for
demonstration purposes only and may vary
slightly depending on the software version
and market region of your Model S.
1. Charge status messages (such as
Charging Scheduled, Charging In
Progress) display here.
2. To adjust the charge limit, touch Set Charge Limit, then drag the slider bar. You
can charge to any level from 50% to 100%
based on your driving needs. The setting
you choose applies to both immediate and scheduled charging sessions.
3.Location-specific schedule. With Model S
in Park, set a specific time when you want
Model S to begin charging at the current
location. If, at the scheduled time, Model S
is not plugged in at the location, it will
start charging as soon as you plug it in as
long as you are plugging it in within six
hours of the scheduled time. If you plug in
after six hours, Model S does not start charging until the scheduled time on the
next day. To override this setting, touch Start Charging or Stop Charging (see
item 4). When you set a scheduled
charging time, Model S displays the set
time on the instrument panel and the
touchscreen.
4. Touch to open the charge port door or to start (or stop) charging.
5. 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 the up/down arrows 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. So if you
subsequently charge at the same location,
you do not need to change it again.
Note: If Model S automatically reduced a charging location

Charging StatusThe following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only and may vary slightly
depending on the software version and market region of your Model S.1. Charging rate per hour.
2. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. Instead of drivingdistance as shown here, you can display
the percentage of battery energy
remaining. To do so, touch Controls > Settings > Units & Format > Energy &
Charging.
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 on your drive because the
battery is cold. This is normal and no
reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion is no longer
displayed.
3. Current being supplied/Total current available from the connected power
supply (see Changing Charge Settings on
page 132).
4. Estimated increase in driving distance (or energy) achieved so far in this chargingsession. Instead of driving distance as
illustrated above, you can change settings
to display the amount of energy achieved.
To do so, touch Controls > Settings > Units
& Format > Energy & Charging.5. Charging status information displays here.
For example, if Model S is charging, it
displays the time remaining until fully
charged at the currently selected charge
level. When scheduled charging is set for a
location, it displays when charging will
start.
6. Voltage being supplied by the charge cable.
Note: If Model S is charging and detects
