Vehicle manual – Tesla Model 3
Instructions as PDF- Disconnect the charge cable from the vehicle
Stop charging by selecting “Stop charging” and “Unlock” on the touchscreen. Remove the charge cable at the left-hand side of the vehicle. The cable remains at the charge point (and must be hung back in the holder). Close the flap of the charging socket by pressing it down slightly.
- Setting off
If you haven’t already done so, log in at the checkpoint with your Mobility Card. To start the vehicle, press the brake and engage a gear. If the message “Hold card to centre console” appears in the display, hold the Mobility card to the checkpoint again.
Please note: if too much time elapses between your first log-in with the card and setting off, holdthe Mobility Card up to the checkpoint again.
The vehicle is ready to drive (noiseless). Otherwise, repeat the process. The handbrake may have to be released.
Engage gear “D” (normal forward gear) or “R” (reverse) as required, always keeping the brake depressed.
- On the road
The motor of an electric car is virtually silent. Up to 30 km/h, however, the vehicle generates a synthetic sound to alert pedestrians.
Range according to the WLTP test cycle: 560 km
Range under normal driving behaviour: 375 kmPlease note: if the range is less than 20 km, the vehicle must be driven to a charge point immediately.
- After completing your journey
Park the vehicle in reverse at the Mobility parking space – the charging socket is located on the left-hand side at the rear. Engage driving position P (park) and switch off the car. Touch the charging icon on the touchscreen, then press OPEN CHARGING SOCKET. The charge flap opens.
Take the charging cable from the charge point and insert it into the upper vehicle socket. Lock the car with the Mobility Card (hold card up to the checkpoint). Charging starts automatically, or if necessary you can activate the charge point using the “Home charging card”. Check this by looking at the LED on the vehicle socket: this will be flashing green if the car is being charged properly.

- On-the-go charging at a rapid charge point
Engage driving position P (park) and switch off the car.
Touch the charging icon on the touchscreen, then press OPEN CHARGING SOCKET. Charge flap “1” opens. Proceed in the same way as in the “After the journey” section.

Range after 20 minutes of rapid charging at maximum charging rate ~ 180 km
Time required for 80% charge ~ 30 minsThe vehicle has two sockets under the charge flap:
Upper connection = AC charging, e.g. as at the Mobility station
– Upper and lower socket combined = DC fast charging.{ "_attributes": { "type": "text" } } - On-the-go charging – Type 2 AC charge point
Proceed as for charging at a rapid charge point. To charge at a Type 2 charge point, only the upper flap has to be removed. In some cases, the charge cables are permanently connected to the charge point; otherwise use the charging cable in the boot of the vehicle. Don’t forget to take it with you when you’ve finished.
Depending on the provider, the charging process is started automatically via an app or payment by credit card (the customer can bill Mobility if payment by credit card is required). The charging card in the glove compartment of the vehicle can also be used. If necessary, contact the charge point provider.
If the charging process has been started correctly, LED “2” flashes green. Check this is the case.
Range after 20 minutes of Type 2 AC charging at maximum charging rate: ~ 15 km
Time required for 80% charge ~ 5 hours ~ 30 mins{ "_attributes": { "type": "text" } } - Additional charging cable
If there are no charging cables at a charge point, you’ll find one in the boot of the vehicle. This is compatible with charge points which have a Type 2 socket. Don’t forget to put it back in the car boot after charging.
If the charging process has been started correctly, LED “2” flashes green. Check this is the case.
