notifications, with the most recent listed first, you can also
touch
Service > Notifications. See Troubleshooting Alerts on page 204.
Displays when a software update is available (see Software Updates on page 149).
Displays when Dashcam is ready to be used (you have inserted a supported flash drive into the
USB port). Touch to operate Dashcam
. When in Park, touch the Dashcam icon and select
"Launch Viewer" to watch your saved Dashcam and Sentry Mode clips (see Dashcam on page
70).
Touch to enable or disable Sentry Mode to actively monitor the vehicle

Open the center console door below the touchscreen
and lift the phone dock upward to access the front USB ports.
Two additional USB ports are located in the rear of the center console (on vehicles manufactured since
approximately June 2020, these ports are USB-C). These ports charge USB-connected devices but do not communicate with the vehicle.
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 not deplete the 12V battery.
NOTE: Use USB 3.0 compliant cables to connect a
device to a USB port. Using non-compliant cables can result in slower charging, potential connection problems or degraded performance.
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.
Installing Phone Charging Cable
To make it easy to connect your phone while keeping
the console free of clutter, you can install a phone charging cable in
Model Y.
NOTE: The phone dock supports two phones side-by-
side.
To install a phone charging cable:
1.
Open both center console doors in front 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.
