Note: If charging at a Tesla Supercharger, and
paid supercharging is potentially in effect, the
charging screen also displays information
about your previous or current Supercharger
session (see Supercharger Usage Fees and
Idle Fees on page 162).
1. Charge status messages (such as
Charging Scheduled, Charging In
Progress) display here.
2. To adjust the charge limit, touch Set
Charge Limit , and drag the arrow to
change the charge limit setting. The
setting you choose applies to immediate
and scheduled charging sessions.
3. Location-specific schedule. With Model X
in Park, set a specific time to begin
charging at the current location. If, at the
scheduled time, Model X is not plugged in
at the location, charging starts as soon as
you plug it in provided you plug it in
within six hours of the scheduled time. If
plugged in after six hours, charging does
not start until the scheduled time on the
next day. To override this setting, touch Start Charging or Stop Charging (see

5. Charging rate per hour, estimated increase
in driving distance (or energy) achieved
so far in this charging session, current
supplied/available from the connected
power supply, and voltage supplied by the
charge cable.
6. The current automatically sets to the
maximum current available from the
attached charge cable, unless it was
previously reduced to a lower level. If
needed, touch the up/down arrows to
change the current (for example, you may
want to reduce the current if you are
concerned about overloading a domestic
wiring circuit shared by other equipment).
It is not possible to set the charging
current to a level that exceeds the
maximum available from the attached charge cable. When you change the
current, Model X remembers the location.
If you charge at the same location, you do
not need to change it again.
Note: For 3-phase charging, the available
current represents the current per phase
(up to 32 amps). During charging, the

Supercharger Usage Fees and Idle
Fees
When charging using a Tesla supercharger,
PAID SUPERCHARGING information displays at the bottom of the charging screen. This
information includes the location, the time
that charging started, and an estimate of how
much the session will cost. When you stop
charging, the final cost displays until a new
Supercharging session begins. If free charging
is applicable, the cost displays as zero.
When charging at a Tesla supercharger, you
are subject to idle fees. Idle fees are designed
to encourage drivers to move their vehiclefrom the Supercharger when charging iscomplete and are in effect whenever at least
half of the Superchargers at a site are
occupied. The Tesla mobile app notifies you
when charging nears completion, and again
when charging is complete. Additional
notifications are sent if idle fees are incurred.
Idle fees are waived if you move your vehicle
within five minutes of charging completion.
Log into your Tesla Account to view fees and
details about Supercharger sessions, track the
remaining balance of free credits, set up a payment method, and make payments. Once a
payment method is saved, fees are
automatically paid from your account.
