• The charge port is located on the left side of Model Y, behind a door that is part of the rear tail light assembly. Park Model Y to ensure that the charge cable easily reaches the charge port.

• With Model Y unlocked (or a recognized key is within range) and in Park, press and release the button on the Tesla charge cable to open the charge port door.

Align the connector to the charge port and insert fully. When the connector is properly inserted, charging begins automatically after the Model Y:

• Engages a latch that holds the connector in place
• Shifts into Park (if it was in any other drive mode)
• Heats or cools the Battery, if needed. If the Battery requires heating or cooling, you may notice a delay before charging begins.
