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

Maintaining Tire Pressures
If you are not towing a trailer, keep tires inflated to the
pressures shown on the Tire and Loading Information label, even if it
differs from the pressure printed on the
tire itself. The Tire and Loading Information label is located on the center door pillar and is visible when the
front door is open.
If you are towing a trailer, do not use the tire pressures printed on the Tire and Loading Information Label.
Instead, refer to the tire pressures published in the
towing topic
(see Towing and Accessories on page 73).
NOTE: If your Model Y is fitted with Tesla accessory
wheels or tires, some information may be
different from
the labels on the vehicle.
The Tire Pressure indicator light on the
touchscreen alerts you if one or more
tires is
under-inflated.
After inflating the tire to the recommended pressure,
you must drive over
15 mph (25 km/h) for a short
amount of time to activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS), which turns
off the Tire Pressure
indicator light.
If the indicator light flashes for one minute whenever
you power on
Model Y, a fault with the TPMS is detected
(see
TPMS Malfunction on page 168).
NOTE: Display tire pressures in the "Cards" area, located
toward the bottom on the left side of the touchscreen
,
as described in Touchscreen Overview on page 4. You
can also choose whether you want to display tire pressures using BAR or PSI by touching
Controls >
Display > Tire Pressure.
WARNING: Under-inflation is the most common
cause of tire failures and can cause a tire to
overheat, resulting in severe tire cracking, tread
separation, or blowout, which causes unexpected
loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury.
Under-inflation also reduces the vehicle

1. Place the curved part of the lug nut cover tool (located in the glovebox for some vehicles, or you can use a small allen wrench) into the lowered
perimeter around the middle of the lug nut cover.
NOTE: The lug nut cover tool can also be purchased
at an auto parts store or through online retailers.
2.
Twist the lug nut cover tool so that the end of the curved part is facing away from the Tesla "T".
3.
Firmly pull the lug nut tool away from the wheel until the lug nut cover is released.
To install the lug nut cover:
1.
Align the lug nut cover into position.
2.
Push firmly on the lug nut cover until it fully snaps
into place.
CAUTION: Make sure the lug nut cover is fully
secure before driving to prevent it from falling
off.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the recommended pressures that are printed
on the Tire and Loading Information label located on the
driver’s door pillar (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on
page 164). If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that displays a tire pressure telltale (Tire Pressure Warning) on the
touchscreen when
one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the Tire Pressure indicator light
displays on the
touchscreen to alert you about tire
pressure, stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure (see Maintaining
Tire Pressures on page 164). Driving on a significantly

under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces range
