Charging Model S
During Charging
Charge Port Light
During charging, the charge port pulses green
and charging status displays on the
instrument panel. The frequency at which the
charge port’s light pulses slows down as the
charge level approaches full. When charging is
complete, the light stops pulsing and is solid
green.

The charge port door is open and
Model S is ready to charge. The
connector either hasn't been
inserted yet, or the latch is
released and the connector is
ready to be removed.
Solid
Green
Charging is complete.
Note: If Model S is locked, the light around the
charge port does not light up.
If the light around the charge port lights up
red while charging, a fault is detected. Check
the instrument panel or touchscreen for a
message describing the fault. A fault can
occur due to something as common as a
power outage. If a power outage occurs,
charging resumes automatically when power
is restored.

fan operate as needed to keep the Battery
cool. Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds
during charging.
