Plugging In
1. Plug the Corded Mobile Connector into the power outlet. The adapter should be inserted completely into the
power outlet.
2. With your vehicle unlocked, press the button on the top of the Corded Mobile Connector handle. The charge port
door opens.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is unlocked when the key is nearby and automatic unlocking is enabled. You can also open the
charge port door using any of these methods:
◦
If equipped with a motorized charge port door, press the charge port door when the vehicle is unlocked or a
recognized key is nearby.
◦
Hold down the rear trunk button on the key fob for 1-2 seconds.
◦
Use the touchscreen to open the Charging menu, and then touch
Open Charge Port
.
◦
Use the Tesla mobile app.
3. Plug the Corded Mobile Connector handle into your vehicle's charge port.
4. When you plug the Corded Mobile Connector into your vehicle, the charge port indicator light pulses green
during charging, and the vehicle displays charging information. The display turns off after you close all doors, and
the charge port indicator light stops pulsing shortly after you lock the vehicle.
Unplugging
When charging is complete, the light stops pulsing and turns solid green.
1. With the vehicle unlocked, press and hold the button on the Corded Mobile Connector handle, wait for the charge
port indicator light to turn white, and then pull the Corded Mobile Connector out of the charge port.
NOTE:
To prevent unauthorized unplugging, the vehicle must be unlocked or able to recognize a key nearby
before you can disconnect the Corded Mobile Connector handle.
NOTE:
When the latch in the charge port retracts, the Corded Mobile Connector stops supplying power and you
can safely unplug it from the vehicle.
2. The charge port door automatically closes after you remove the charge cable.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is not equipped with a motorized charge port door, you may need to push the charge port
door closed.
Tesla recommends leaving the Corded Mobile Connector plugged into the wall outlet to reduce wear and tear
from day-to-day use. If you do not plan to use the Corded Mobile Connector for a while (such as when you leave
for vacation), unplug it, and store it in an appropriate location.
