About the High Voltage Battery
Model Y has one of the most sophisticated battery
systems in the world. The most important way to preserve the high voltage Battery is to
LEAVE YOUR
VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when you are not using it. This is
particularly important if you are not planning to drive
Model Y for several weeks.
NOTE: When left idle and unplugged, your vehicle
periodically uses energy from the Battery for system
tests and recharging the
low voltage battery when
necessary.
There is no advantage to waiting until the Battery

NOTE: Although Tesla recommends charging to 100% at
least once per week, remember that regenerative
braking is reduced while driving with a fully charged
battery. See
Regenerative Braking on page 66.
Submerged Vehicle
As with any electric vehicle, if your Tesla has been
exposed to
flooding, extreme weather events or has
otherwise been submerged in water (especially in salt water), treat it as if it

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:
1.
Press and hold the button on the connector handle to release the latch.
NOTE: You can also release the latch using the
lightning icon on the car status overview on the
touchscreen or mobile app, or by pressing and holding the rear trunk button on the key fob.
2.
Pull the connector from the charge port. The charge
port door automatically closes.
To disconnect the charge cable when using an adapter at a public charge station:
1.
Unlock Model Y.
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.
3.
Press and hold the button on the charging handle
again to release the adapter from the public charging handle.
NOTE: The charge port door 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 does not shift out of Park if the
charge port is unable to determine whether a
charging cable is plugged in. Ensure the charging
cable is unplugged and follow the instructions on
the touchscreen to proceed (see Park on page 56).
Charge Settings
Access charge settings by touching Controls > Charging
when Model Y is in Park. You can also touch the battery
icon on the touchscreen to access charge settings.
1.
Driving distance: Displays the total estimated driving
distance available.
2.
Set limit: Adjust the charge limit by dragging the
arrow below the battery to indicate the level of charging you want. The setting you choose applies to immediate and scheduled charging sessions.
NOTE: For vehicles with Lithium Iron Phosphate
(LFP) high voltage Batteries, Tesla recommends you keep your charge limit to 100%, even for daily use,
and that you also fully charge your vehicle to 100% at
least once per week. To determine if your vehicle is
equipped with an LFP battery, navigate to
Controls >
Software > Additional Vehicle Information. If your
vehicle has an LFP Battery, "High Voltage Battery type: Lithium Iron Phosphate" is listed. If your vehicle
does not have an LFP Battery, the high voltage Battery type is not
specified. See Lithium Iron
Phosphate Batteries on page 167 for more
information.
NOTE: A portion of the battery image may appear
blue. This indicates that a small portion of the energy
stored in the battery is not available because the battery is cold. This is normal and no reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
