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 Cabin Overheat Protection,Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, Sentry Mode,
etc. are enabled. The vehicle is also awake
whenever the 12V battery is being charged or
is in use, during HV charging, when the vehicle
is communicating with the mobile app, etc. Leaving an accessory plugged in does notdeplete the 12V battery.
Note: Always use USB 2.0 compliant cables
when connecting devices to the USB ports.
Using non-compliant cables can result in
slower charging and, if plugged into either of the front two ports, can result in potential connection problems or degraded
performance when trying to access media files
on the device.
Note: Do not connect multiple devices using a
USB hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by
Media Player, Sentry Mode, Dashcam, etc.

keeping the console free of clutter, you can install a phone charging cable in Model 3.

of the cup holders.
2. Remove the rubber mat from the phone
dock.
3. Lift the phone dock to access the USB
ports.
4. Release the cover from the base of the
phone dock by sliding it to the left.
5. Plug the USB connector on the phone
charging cable into a USB port.
6. Insert the phone end of the charging cable
through the bottom of the phone dock
and route the cable through the securing
tabs towards the bottom of the phone dock.
