Running Out of Range
CAUTION: It is your responsibility to monitor the state of the high voltage BatteryeBay logo and the remaining range of your
vehicle. Do not assume that there is any range available when the range displayed on the instrument clustertouchscreen
is at 0 miles (0 km) (or 0%). Damage to the low voltage battery due to running out of range is not covered by the
warranty.
NOTE: In the unlikely event your vehicle runs out of range while driving, pull over when safe to do so and contact Tesla
Roadside Assistance on page 914 or your preferred tow provider.
If Model SModel XModel 3Model Y runs out of range, the low voltage battery is no longer supported – and when low voltage is
not supported, the vehicle cannot charge. Therefore, the low voltage battery must be supported by an external power supply
to allow you to charge the High Voltage (HV) Battery. Once the vehicle begins charging, the external power supply is no longer
required.
In the case of running out of range away from a charger, the tow provider should transport Model SModel XModel 3Model Y to
the nearest charging station and unload the vehicle within the charging cable's reach. Once the vehicle is positioned next to a
charger, follow these instructions:
NOTE: If the vehicle is being transported to a charger, make sure the tow provider does not leave until confirming that the
vehicle's high voltage Battery is successfully charging.
1. Jump start the low voltage system (see Jump Starting on page 922). The low voltage battery must be jump started to
support the high voltage BatteryeBay logo.
2. Wait a few minutes. Once the touchscreen powers on, plug the charge cable into Model SModel XModel 3Model Y to
begin charging the high voltage BatteryeBay logo.
3. When Model SModel XModel 3Model Y begins to charge, disconnect the external power supply from the low voltage
battery.
Before transporting to a non-Tesla charger, ensure your vehicle is equipped with an adapter that accommodates the specific
type of charging station you will be using. Even at a non-Tesla charger, you will need to jump start the low voltage system
before you can begin charging.
CAUTION: Always ensure Model SModel XModel 3Model Y has enough range for your drive, or for being stored for an
extended period. Do not rely on the range estimates displayed on the touchscreen or mobile app as range can decrease
faster than projected due to ambient temperature, driving habits, wind, vehicle settings (such as Sentry Mode), etc.
NOTE: Towing your vehicle as a result of running out of range is not covered by the warranty.

Opening the Powered Frunk with No Power
In the unlikely event that Model SModel XModel 3Model Y has no low voltage power, you will be unable to open the powered
frunk using the touchscreen, mobile app, or powered frunk button.
It is necessary to open the powered frunk before attempting to jump start Model SModel XModel 3Model Y. For more
information, see Jump Starting on page 1434.
To open the powered frunk when Model SModel XModel 3Model Y has no power, you need a power source that provides
between 9V and 16.5V (such as a 12V portable jump startereBay logo or another vehicle), or a power source that provides between 30V
and 50V. A standard 9V battery may not have enough power to open the powered frunk if Model SModel XModel 3Model Y
has no power. Instead, use a portable jump startereBay logo or another vehicle.
The steps below assume you are using an external low voltage power supply (such as a portable jump startereBay logo).
NOTE: The following steps do not open the powered frunk if Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is locked and has low voltage
power.
1. Locate the front trunk access terminal beneath the front-left wheel well, behind the headlights.

2. Use your finger to loosen the cover, then pull it down and toward you to remove it and expose the terminals. The cover is
attached to a loop of cable containing both the red positive (+) and the black negative (-) terminals.
