CHANGING CHARGE SETTINGS
CHARGING STATUS
The charge settings screen displays on the touchscreen whenever the
charge port door is open.You can also display it at any time by touching
the battery icon on the top of the touchscreen.

UNDERSTANDING ENERGY USE
If you change the charge level, Model S remembers. To change the level
for one session only, you need to manually change it back again.
Touch the Energy app on the touchscreen to display a graph showing how
much energy Model S is using.
Energy
Charge current
The current automatically sets to the maximum current available from the
attached charging cable, unless it was previously reduced to a lower level.
If needed, you can change the current by touching the up/down arrows.
You may want to reduce the current if you’re concerned about overloading
a domestic wiring circuit shared by other equipment. When you change the
current, Model S remembers the location for which you changed it. So if
you subsequently charge at the same location, you don’t need to re-adjust.
Keep in mind that reducing the current increases charging time.
The graph visually shows projected range and energy consumption. The
projected range is based on consumption over the last tenth of a mile.You
can adjust the graph to temporarily display the projected range based on
the average amount of energy used over the past 5, 15, or 30 miles (or 10,
25, or 50 kms).
