Tesla Model S: Wireless Phone Chargers
Wireless phone chargers are integrated into both the
front and rear consoles, each providing up to 15W of
power to charge Qi-enabled phones. Simply place your
phone on the charger. Your device may feel warm while
charging, but this is a normal effect of inductive
charging.

When placed on the wireless charger, your phone
charges whenever the vehicle is powered on (the
touchscreen is on and you are in the vehicle). Your
phone does not charge when you leave the vehicle
unless a feature, such as Sentry mode is enabled.
NOTE: The phone must be in direct contact with the
wireless charger. Do not place objects between the
phone and the charger (for example, credit cards, key
cards, coins, keys, metal objects, etc.).
NOTE: The wireless phone charger may not work if your
phone case is too large or is made of metal. Try
removing the phone from its case before placing it on
the charger.
NOTE: The wireless phone charger does not charge if
the vehicle's high voltage Battery is discharged.
