NOTE:
When navigating to a Supercharger (or third-
party fast charger in some regions), Model Y
preconditions the Battery to prepare for charging.
This ensures you arrive with an optimal Battery
temperature, reducing the amount of time it takes to
charge. In some circumstances (such as cold
weather), it is normal for the motor(s) and
components to make noise as it generates heat to
warm the Battery (see
Predicting Energy Usage
When navigating to a destination, Model Y helps you
anticipate your charging needs by calculating the
amount of energy that remains when you reach your
destination. When navigating, the map displays this
calculation at the top of the expanded turn-by-turn
direction list (see
Navigating to a Destination on page
). When the turn-by-turn direction list is compressed,
touch the top of the list to expand it.
The calculation that predicts how much energy you will
use is an estimate based on driving style (predicted
speed, etc.) and environmental factors (elevation
changes, wind speed and direction, ambient and
forecasted temperatures, air density and humidity, etc.).
As you drive, Model Y continuously learns how much
energy it uses, resulting in improved accuracy over time.
It is important to note that Model Y predicts energy
usage based on the driving style of the individual
vehicle. For example, if you drive aggressively for a
period of time, future range predictions will assume
higher consumption. Also, if you purchase a used Tesla
vehicle, it is recommended that you perform a factory
reset (
Controls
>
Service
>
Factory Reset
) to ensure the
predicted energy is as accurate as possible.
Throughout your route, Model Y monitors energy usage
and updates the estimate of energy remaining at the
end of your trip. A popup warning displays on the turn-
by-turn direction list in these situations:
NOTE:
Some factors that contribute to predicted energy
(such as forecasted temperatures and wind speed) are
available only when Model Y has internet connectivity.
• A yellow warning displays when you have very little
energy remaining to reach your destination, requiring
you to drive slowly to conserve energy. For tips on
conserving energy, see
.
• A red warning displays when you must charge to
reach your destination.
To determine if you have enough energy for a round trip,
touch the Battery icon at the top of the turn-by-turn
direction list to display an estimated calculation of your
round trip energy usage.
Online Routing
Model Y detects real-time traffic conditions and
automatically adjusts the estimated driving and arrival
times. In situations where traffic conditions will delay
your estimated time of arrival and an alternate route is
available, the navigation system can reroute you to your
destination. You can also specify the minimum number
of minutes that must be saved before you are rerouted.
To turn this feature on or off, touch the map's settings
icon (see
Navigation Settings on page 137
), then touch
Online Routing
.
Trip Planner
Trip Planner (if available in your market region) helps
you take longer road trips with confidence. If reaching
your destination requires charging, Trip Planner routes
you through the appropriate Supercharger locations.
Trip Planner selects a route and provides charging times
to minimize the amount of time you spend driving and
charging. To enable Trip Planner, touch the map's
settings icon (see
Navigation Settings on page 137
touch
Trip Planner
.
When Trip Planner is enabled and charging is required to
reach your destination, the turn-by-turn direction list
includes Supercharger stops, recommended charging
times at each Supercharger, and an estimate of how
much energy will be available when you arrive at the
Supercharger location.
NOTE:
When navigating to a Supercharger or, in some
regions, a third-party fast charger using Trip Planner,
Model Y may allocate some energy to pre-heat the
Battery to arrive at the Supercharger or third-party fast
charger with an optimal Battery temperature. This
reduces charging time (see
).
To remove Supercharger stops and display directions
only, touch
Remove all charging stops
at the bottom of
the turn-by-turn direction list. If you remove charging
stops, the turn-by-turn direction list may display an alert
indicating that charging is needed to reach your
destination. To add Supercharger stops back to the turn-
by-turn direction list, touch
Add charging stops
.
While charging at a Supercharger, the charging screen
displays the remaining charging time needed to drive to
your next Supercharger stop, or destination (if no
further charging is needed). If you charge for a shorter
or longer length of time, charging time at subsequent
Supercharger stops is adjusted accordingly.
NOTE:
You can also use the mobile app to monitor
remaining charging time needed.
NOTE:
If a Supercharger on your navigation route
experiences an outage, Trip Planner displays a
notification and attempts to reroute you to a different
Supercharger location.
