Glove Box
To open the glove box, press the switch located on the side of the touchscreen. If you
leave the glove box open for five minutes, its
light automatically turns off.
Note: The glove box locks whenever Model S
is locked externally, using the key or walk-
away locking. It also locks when Model S is in Valet mode (see Valet Mode on page 46). It
does not lock when Model S is locked using the touchscreen.
Warning: When driving, keep the glove
box closed to prevent injury to a
passenger if a collision or sudden stop
occurs.
USB Ports
Your Model S has two USB ports located on
the front of the center console that you can
use to connect USB devices. To play audio
files stored on a USB drive connected to these
ports, see Playing Media from Devices on page
131. You can also use these ports to charge
USB devices.
Note: Do not connect multiple devices using a
USB hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by
the Media Player.
Note: Power is available whenever the vehicle
is considered "awake" The vehicle may be awake for many reasons. For example, when
using features such as Summon, or when features such as Smart Preconditioning, Cabin
Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle is alsoawake whenever the 12V battery is beingcharged or is in use, during HV charging, when
the vehicle is communicating with the mobile
app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in
does not deplete the 12V battery.
12V Power Socket Your Model S has a power socket located onthe front of the center console. Power is
available whenever the instrument panel and
touchscreen are on.
The 12V power socket is suitable for
accessories requiring up to 11A continuous
draw (15A peak) or a maximum of 150
continuous watts (180 watts peak).
Note: Power is available whenever the vehicle
is considered "awake" The vehicle may be awake for many reasons. For example, when
using features such as Summon, or when features such as Smart Preconditioning, Cabin
Overheat Protection, Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, etc. are enabled. The vehicle is alsoawake whenever the 12V battery is beingcharged or is in use, during HV charging, when
the vehicle is communicating with the mobile
app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in
does not deplete the 12V battery.

The location is equipped with a
Tesla Wall Connector. Touch to
display more information such as
usage restrictions and available
charge current. The charging list
also displays your proximity to
these charging stations.
Note: When the map is zoomed out
and more than one Tesla Wall
Connector is available in an area,
the pin is round and displays the
number of stations. Touch the pin
to zoom in. Then you can touch an
individual pins for detail about the
charging location.
Predicting Energy Usage
When navigating to a destination, Model S
helps you anticipate your charging needs by
calculating the amount of energy that remains
when you reach your destination. The
calculation is an estimate based on driving
style (predicted speed, etc.) and
environmental factors (elevation changes,
temperature, etc.). When navigating, the map
displays this calculation at the bottom of the
expanded turn-by-turn direction list (see
Navigating on page 126). When the turn-by-
turn direction list is compressed, touch the top of the list to expand it.
Throughout your route, Model S monitors energy usage and updates the calculation. A
popup warning displays at the bottom of the turn-by-turn direction list in these situations:

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 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 MobileConnector, first plug the Mobile Connector
into the power outlet, and then plug in Model S. For more information about your
Mobile Connector, see the Mobile Connector

Battery Information
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. When plugged in,
Model S wakes up when needed to
automatically maintain a charge level that
maximizes the lifetime of the Battery.
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
