2023 TESLA MODEL Y battery

Range Assurance
The driving range displayed in Model Y is an estimate of
the remaining battery energy based on EPA-rated
consumption. It may not account for your personal
driving patterns or external conditions. The displayed range on the
touchscreen may decrease faster than the
actual distance driven.
To view estimated range based
on your recent energy consumption, open the Energy
app to display the graph.
NOTE: Rated driving range is based on EPA-rated
consumption in the United States, which deviates from tests advertised and performed in other jurisdictions.
Model Y helps protect you against running out of energy.
Your vehicle continuously monitors its energy level and proximity to known charging locations.
Touch Chargers in the Navigation search
bar to toggle between types of chargers,
including Superchargers and destination charging sites.
When you are at risk of driving beyond the range of
known charging locations, the touchscreen displays a message giving you the opportunity to display a list of
charging locations that are within range. When you
select a charging location from the list,
Model Y provides
navigation instructions and the turn-by-turn direction list displays the predicted amount of energy that will remain when you arrive at the charging destination.
Trip Planner (if available in your market region) routes
you through Supercharger locations to minimize the amount of time you spend charging and driving. To
enable, touch
Controls > Navigation > Trip Planner (see
Trip Planner on page 157).

NOTE: In addition to cooling the interior, the air
conditioning compressor also cools the Battery.
Therefore, in hot weather, the air conditioning compressor can turn on even if you turned it

6.
With a 10mm socket, loosen the nut that secures the
negative (-) terminal clamp to the negative (-) post on the lead-acid battery. Release the terminal clamp from the negative (-) post.
7.
With a 10mm socket, release the terminal cover and loosen the nut that secures the positive (+) terminal
clamp to the positive (+) post on the lead-acid
battery. Release the terminal clamp from the positive
(+) post and cover the terminal clamp with a dry rag.
CAUTION: Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal clamp to contact nearby components
like the lead-acid battery hold down bracket or
A/C cooling lines.
8.
Unplug the vent tube hose from the negative (-)
terminal side of the lead-acid battery.
9.
Loosen the nut on the battery hold down on the top of the lead-acid battery with a 10mm socket. To
release the battery hold down, unhook and slide the
strap back. If needed, tilt the battery hold down
backward so it does not slip into the vehicle.
10.
Using the battery handle, carefully remove the lead- acid battery, taking care not to touch or damage the surrounding components.

WARNING: When lifting out the lead-acid
battery, stand in front of the vehicle and use
proper lifting technique. The lead-acid battery
weighs approximately 25 lb (12 kg). Failure to
do so may cause serious injury.
11.
Inspect the new lead-acid battery to ensure it has a
red plug in the casing on the positive (+) terminal
side. If the new lead-acid battery does not have a red plug, use a small trim tool to transfer the red plug
from the old battery to the new one.
CAUTION: Dispose of the old lead-acid battery
according to local laws, such as dropping it off

at a battery recycling facility. Keep the lead-
acid battery upright and place it on a towel or
piece of cardboard when transporting it.
Installation:
1. Carefully maneuver the new lead-acid battery into
place, taking care not to touch or damage nearby
components.2.
Install the lead-acid battery hold down and use a 10mm socket to tighten the nut that secures it to the 12V battery. Torque the nut to 6 Nm (4.4 ft-lb).
3.
Reconnect the first responder loop.
4.
Remove the protective caps from the positive (+) and negative (-) posts on the new low voltage lead-acid battery.
5.
Connect the positive (+) terminal by positioning the
clamp over the positive (+) post. Using a 10mm socket, torque the nut to 6 Nm (4.4 ft-lb).

Jacking Procedure
Follow the steps below to lift Model Y. Ensure that any
non-Tesla repair facility is aware of these lifting points.
1.
Position Model Y centrally between the lift posts.
2.
Position the lift arm pads under the designated body lift points at the locations shown.
WARNING: DO NOT position the lift arm pads
under the Battery or side rails.
NOTE: The following illustration is provided to
improve conceptual understanding. The exact location of the lift points may
differ slightly. Check
the vehicle itself for exact location of lift points.
3.
Adjust the height and position of the lift arm pads to ensure that they are correctly located.
4.
With assistance, raise the lift to the desired height, ensuring the lift arm pads remain in their correct positions.
