on page 40).
9. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. Instead of driving distance, you can display the percentage of battery energy remaining. To do so, touch Controls > Settings >Language & Units > Energy & Charging (see Settings on page 101).
Note: When anticipating when you need to charge, use range estimates as a general guideline only.
Note: In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available on your drive because the Battery is too cold. When this happens, a portion of the Battery meter isblue and the driving distance value has a
snowflake image next to it. If Model S is plugged in,
you can heat your Battery using wall power by turning on climate control using the mobile app. When the Battery warms up, the blue portion on the meter and the
snowflake image are
no longer displayed.

top right corner of the map/navigation
window, to control what charging stations
display on the map:The map displays superchargers
only.The map displays all visited
chargers, Chademo chargers, and
destination chargers. In situations
where a charging location may not
be reachable based on your
currently available driving range, its
associated icon on the map
displays as semi-transparent.
When you are at risk of driving beyond the
range of known charging locations, a popup
message displays on the touchscreen giving
you the opportunity to display a list of
charging locations that are within range. When
you select a charging location from the list,
Model S provides navigation instructions and
the turn-by-turn direction list displays the
predicted amount of energy that will remain
when you arrive at the charging destination.
In addition to the popup message that
displays when you are at risk of driving
beyond the range of known charging
locations, a warning symbol displays on the range assurance icon:
Touch to display a search list of
charging locations that are
estimated to be within your driving
range. Then touch a location in the

energy for a round trip at the bottom of the
turn-by-turn directions. By default, an estimate of your round trip energy usagedisplays at the bottom of the turn-by-turn
directions when the remaining battery energy
is estimated at less than ten percent after
completion of the round trip, or when the round trip consumes a
significant amount of
your energy.
When navigating, you can also use the Energy
app to monitor energy usage while on your trip (see Getting Maximum Range on page
65).

Charging Equipment
Charging equipment designed
specifically to
charge your Model S is available from Tesla. A Tesla Wall Connector, which installs in your
garage, is the fastest way to charge Model S at
home.
In several market regions, Model S is equipped
with a Mobile Connector and the adapter(s)
you need to plug into commonly used power outlets. When using the Mobile Connector,
first plug the Mobile Connector into the power
outlet, then plug in Model S. For more
information about your Mobile Connector, see
the Mobile Connector Owner
