2020 TESLA MODEL Y phone

About the Security System
If Model Y does not detect an authenticated phone, key
fob, or key card and a locked door or trunk is opened, an
alarm sounds and the headlights and turn signals
flash.

To deactivate the alarm, press any button on the mobile
app or tap your key card or key fob against the card reader located
approximately one third the way up of
the driver

The Tesla mobile app allows you to communicate with
Model Y remotely using your iPhone

Opening the Charge Port
The charge port is located on the left side of Model Y,
behind a door that is part of the rear tail light assembly.
Before charging, park
Model Y to ensure that the
charge cable easily reaches the charge port.
With Model Y unlocked (or an authenticated phone is
within range) and in Park, press and release the button on the Tesla charge cable to open the charge port door.
You can also open the charge port door using any of these methods:

During Charging
During charging, the charge port light (the Tesla "T"
logo) pulses green, and the touchscreen displays the
charging status. The frequency at which the charge
port light pulses slows down as the charge level approaches full. When charging is complete, the light stops pulsing and is solid green.
NOTE: If Model Y 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 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
touchscreen. 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 Y must be unlocked or able to recognize
your
authenticated phone before you can disconnect
the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable using a connector:
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 card or 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.
To disconnect the charge cable using an adapter at a
public charge station:
1. Ensure that Model Y is unlocked.2.
While holding the public charging handle in one
hand and the adapter in the other hand, press and hold the button on the public charging handle and
pull both outwards, removing the handle and
adapter at the same time.
NOTE: If the charging station handle separates from
the adapter, leaving the adapter in
Model Y, use the
touchscreen to unlock the charge port (touch the charging icon on the overhead view of the vehicle).
3.
Press and hold the charging handle button again to release the adapter from the charging handle.
NOTE: The charge port automatically closes within
approximately 10 seconds of removing the connector from the charge port.
CAUTION: Tesla strongly recommends leaving
Model Y plugged in when not in use. This
maintains the Battery at the optimum level of
charge.
CAUTION: Model Y will not shift out of Park if the
charge port is unable to determine whether a
charging cable is plugged in. Ensure any charging
cables are unplugged and follow the instructions
on the touchscreen to proceed (see Park on page
51.
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 Y is not actively charging by
displaying the charging screen on the touchscreen. If necessary, touch
Stop Charging.
2.
Open the rear trunk.
3.
Pull the charge port
