Manually opening the charging port

If the charging port doesn't open via the centre display or charging lid, you can open the charging port manually.

You can usually open the charging port by going to Charge → Car → Open charge port via the centre display. The charging port can also be opened by pressing on the upper left corner of the lid.

Make sure the car is turned off.
