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 of the Controls screen. Model S begins to scan and display
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not
appear in the list, move your vehicle
closer to the access point or consider
using a range extender to reach your
vehicle.
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. Whenever the network is within
range,
Model S automatically connects to
it.
You can also connect to a hidden network

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

NOTE: In extremely cold weather or icy
conditions, it is possible that your charge port
latch may freeze in place. In cases where you
cannot remove or insert the charge cable, or
the vehicle is not Supercharging due to the latch being frozen in place, use your Tesla
mobile app to precondition your vehicle on
HI for approximately 30-45 minutes (you must
use your mobile app to precondition the
vehicle; setting your climate to
HI using the
touchscreen is not effective). This can help
thaw ice on the charge port latch so the charge cable can be removed or inserted.
