Standard Range +
The charge speed is up to ~150 kW at our 175 and 350 kW chargers. Above 50% the charge speed requested by the car will slowly drop.
Please note that the charge speed can drop when the battery of your car is cold. It can help to drive a while before charging.
To heat the battery the Model 3 also uses up to 10 kW while charging.
Unlock the connector
In some cases the car does not release the CCS-connector. To unlock please use you Tesla app (menu 'Charging') or the screen in the vehicle (choose the lightning symbol for the 'Charging' menu and press the lock symbol).
Another option is the manual release: For that, please open the trunk and pull the emergency release ring, adjacent to the charge port. This will allow the connector to be removed from the charge port.
For more information, please contact your service center.
