Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model S automatically connects with the last
phone to which it was connected, provided it
is within operating range and has Bluetooth turned on. If the last phone is not within range,
it attempts to connect with the next phone
that it has been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the
Bluetooth icon on the top of the touchscreen.
The Bluetooth window displays a list of paired
phones. Choose the phone you want to connect to, then touch Connect. If the phone
you want to connect to is not listed, you must
pair the phone. See Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
on page 143.
When connected, the Model S touchscreen
displays the Bluetooth symbol next to the phone name to show that the connection is
active.
Using the Phone App
When your phone is connected to Model S
using Bluetooth, and you have allowed access to your phone

In Call OptionsWhen a call is in progress, you can display the
call menu on the instrument panel by pressing
the top button on the right side of the steering wheel. Then roll the right scroll button
and choose an option (see Using Right
Steering Wheel Buttons on page 45). To adjust

Note: Regardless of the setting you choose,
Adaptive Suspension Damping adjusts the
suspension system in real time to optimize both ride and handling.
Note: Available settings depend on your
driving speed and other conditions. For
example, the suspension does not lower if a
door is open.
Note: Your chosen Suspension Lowering and
Adaptive Suspension Damping settings are
saved to your driver profile (see Driver Profiles
on page 42).
Auto-Raising Suspension Auto-raising suspension saves you from
manually having to raise the suspension every
time you arrive at a frequently-used location
where you have previously raised the
suspension. Whenever you raise the
suspension to HIGH or VERY HIGH , Model S
saves the location. When you return to the saved location, Model S raises the suspension
and the instrument panel displays this
message:
Note: When returning to a saved location and
driving faster than the High and Very High
suspension settings allow, the suspension
does not raise until Model S slows down.
Note: After leaving a saved location, the
suspension may not lower until you are driving
faster than the speed threshold at which the
suspension lowers.
Note: If Model S reaches a saved location and
the existing suspension setting is already
higher than the level that has been saved for
that location, the ride height is not adjusted.
To remove an auto-raising location
If you do not want the suspension to auto-
raise at a saved location, touch the X in the
auto-raising location status message that
displays at a saved location. Doing so removes
the auto-raise location and the suspension no
longer raises automatically when you arrive at
the location.
Note: Manually lowering the suspension to
STANDARD or LOW while at a saved location
also removes the auto-raising location.
Jack Mode Before jacking or lifting, set the suspension to
Jack mode to prevent the self-leveling that
occurs even when Model S is powered off.
Press the brake pedal, then touch Controls >
Suspension > Jack .
To deactivate, touch Jack again.
Note: Jack mode automatically cancels when
you drive over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Note: Model S also sets Jack mode
automatically if it detects that the vehicle
cannot lower to its target height, or if it
detects that an object is supporting the
vehicle

Connecting to Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no cellular connectivity.
To ensure fast, reliable delivery of software
and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving your vehicle connected to a Wi-Fi network
whenever possible (for example, if parked in
your garage overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1. Touch the cellular icon (usually LTE or 3G)
on the top corner of your touchscreen.
Model S will start scanning and display the
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
2. Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use,
enter the password (if necessary), then
touch Confirm .
3. Your vehicle connects to the Wi-Fi
network and will automatically connect to it whenever the network is within range.
You can also connect to a hidden network that
isn

Charging
If Model S is charging when the software
update begins, charging stops. Charging
resumes automatically when the software
update is complete. If you are driving Model S
at the scheduled update time, the update is
canceled and must be rescheduled.
Viewing Release Notes
When a software update is complete, read the
release notes displayed on the touchscreen to
learn about changes or new features. To
display release notes about the current
version of your vehicle

the Battery. For example, if you are sitting in
Model S and using the touchscreen while
parked and plugged in, Model S draws energy
from the wall outlet instead of the Battery.Caution: The connector end of the charge
cable can damage the paint if dropped
onto the vehicle.
During Charging
During charging, the charge port light pulses
green, and the instrument panel displays the
charging status. The frequency at which the charge port light pulses slows down as thecharge level approaches full. When charging is
complete, the light stops pulsing and is solid
green.
Note: If Model S is locked, the charge port
light does not light up.
If the charge port light turns red while
charging, a fault is detected. Check the
instrument panel or touchscreen for a
message describing the fault. A fault can
occur due to something as common as a power outage. If a power outage occurs,
charging resumes automatically when power
is restored.
Note: When charging, particularly at high
currents, the refrigerant compressor and fan
operate as needed to keep the Battery cool.
Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during charging.
Note: Air conditioning performance is
generally not affected by charging. However,
under certain circumstances (for example, you
are charging at high currents during a
particularly warm day), the air coming from
the vents may not be as cool as expected and
a message displays on the instrument panel.
This is normal behavior and ensures that the Battery stays within an optimum temperature
range while charging to support longevity and
optimum performance.
Warning: Never spray liquid at a high
velocity (for example, if using a pressure
washer) towards the charge port while
charging. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury or
damage to the vehicle, charging
equipment, or property.
Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting
the charge cable or touching Stop Charging
on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of
the charge cable, the charge cable latch remains locked and Model S must be unlockedor able to recognize your key before you can
disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on the
connector handle to release the latch.
Alternatively, unlock the vehicle by
opening a door, using a key fob, or
touching Stop Charging on the
touchscreen. These methods unlock the
charge port as well.
2. Pull the connector from the charge port.
3. Push the charge port door closed.
Note: If Model S is equipped with a motorized
charge port door, it automatically closes shortly after you remove the charge cable.Caution: Tesla strongly recommends
leaving Model S plugged in when not in
use. This maintains the Battery at the
optimum level of charge.
Manually Releasing Charge Cable
If the usual methods for releasing a charge
cable from the charge port (using the charge
handle release button, touchscreen, or mobile
app) do not work, carefully follow these steps:
1. Ensure that Model S is not actively
charging by displaying the charging
screen on the touchscreen. If necessary,
touch Stop Charging .
2. Open the rear trunk.
3. Open the
