With
Scheduled Charging
selected, enable
the feature then set a daily time to start
charging.
NOTE:
Scheduled Charging
starts charging
immediately if Model X is plugged in up to 6
hours after the scheduled start time. However,
if Model X is plugged in after six hours of the
scheduled charging time, charging may not
start until the scheduled time on the next day.
Using Scheduled Departure
Use
Scheduled Departure
to set a daily time
when you want Model X to be ready to drive.
Your vehicle automatically calculates when it
needs to start preconditioning and/or
charging. This ensures that charging is
complete and/or the cabin climate and
Battery are preconditioned by your departure
time.
When
Scheduled Departure
is displayed,
touch
Schedule
to set a daily time when you
want Model X to be ready to drive. Specify a
time, then touch
Settings
to enable one or
both of the following departure features.
When plugging in with
Off-Peak Charging
enabled, the vehicle briefly draws power (you
may hear clicking) to calculate the necessary
charging start time.
After you’ve specified your desired settings,
touch
Set
. The touchscreen displays your
scheduled departure time.
•
Preconditioning
warms the Battery for
improved performance and ensures a
comfortable cabin climate at your set
departure time.
NOTE:
When Model X is not plugged in,
preconditioning operates but only when
the Battery's charge level is above 20%.
•
Off-Peak Charging
delays charging and
automatically starts charging in order to
finish before your scheduled departure
time while also ensuring to charge the
Battery during off-peak hours to reduce
energy costs. Touch
Change Off-Peak
Hours
to customize the time when off-
peak utility rates end.
NOTE:
Choosing
Off-Peak Charging
can
reduce energy costs even in market
regions where off-peak utility rates are
not applicable. For example, if charging
starts as soon as you plug in, charging
may complete much sooner. This causes
the Battery to cool down to ambient
temperatures and requires energy to
warm it back up by your departure time.
Therefore, even if off-peak utility rates are
not applicable to you, it is recommended
that you set Off-Peak Hours to the same
time as your departure time in order to
reduce energy consumption.
NOTE:
If there is not enough time to
reach the charge limit, charging starts
immediately in order to charge as much
as possible.
NOTE:
Once charging has started and
there is not enough time to complete
charging during off-peak hours, charging
continues until the charge limit is reached.
You can limit
Preconditioning
and
Off-Peak
Charging
to weekdays only.
Supercharger Usage Fees and
Idle Fees
When charging at a Tesla supercharger,
information about the charging session
displays at the bottom of the charging screen.
This includes the location, the time that
charging started, and a cost estimate for the
session. When you stop supercharging, the
estimated cost of the session displays until a
new supercharging session begins. If free
charging is applicable, the estimated cost
displays as zero.
NOTE:
Estimated cost may not reflect the
final cost of the supercharging session. Final
pricing for supercharging sessions can be
found in your Tesla account.
When charging at a Tesla supercharger, you
are subject to idle fees. Idle fees are designed
to encourage drivers to move their vehicle
from the Supercharger when charging is
complete. Idle fees are in effect only when
half or more of the Superchargers at a site are
occupied. The Tesla mobile app notifies you
when charging is almost complete, and again
when charging is complete. Additional
notifications are sent if idle fees are incurred.
