Tesla Model Y: Stopping Charging
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting the charge cable or touching Stop Charging on the touchscreen.
NOTE: To prevent unauthorized unplugging of the charge cable, the charge cable latch remains locked and Model Y must be unlocked or able to recognize your key before you can disconnect the charge cable.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1. Press and hold the button on the connector handle to release the latch.
NOTE: You can also release the latch using the touchscreen or mobile app, or by pressing and holding the rear trunk button on the key fob. If your vehicle is equipped with a motorized charge port, you can also press the button to the left of the charge port to release the latch.
2. Pull the connector from the charge port. The charge port door automatically closes.
To disconnect the charge cable when using an adapter at a public charge station:
1. Unlock Model Y.
2. While holding the public charging handle in one hand and the adapter in the other hand, press and hold the button on the public charging handle and pull both outwards, removing the handle and adapter at the same time.
NOTE: If the charging station handle separates from the adapter, leaving the adapter in Model Y, use the touchscreen to unlock the charge port.
3. Press and hold the button on the charging handle again to release the adapter from the public charging handle.
NOTE: The charge port door automatically closes within approximately 10 seconds of removing the connector from the charge port.
CAUTION: Tesla strongly recommends leaving Model Y plugged in when not in use. This maintains the Battery at the optimum level of charge.
CAUTION: Model Y does not shift out of Park if the charge port is unable to determine whether a charging cable is plugged in. Ensure the charging cable is unplugged and follow the instructions on the touchscreen to proceed.
