Where is the charging port of Tesla Model Y?

Tesla charging ports are all located on the rear fender on the driver's side, and the charging port cover is electrically operated. How to open the Tesla charging port: Click the electricity symbol on the central control screen, then click the "Open Charging Port" button in the upper right corner to open it; or take the charging plug from the charging station, press and hold the trunk unlock button on the physical key, and the charging port cover will automatically pop open. Tesla charging methods: Tesla has two charging methods: one is using a regular AC power source for charging, and the other is charging at Tesla's Supercharger stations. You can plug the power adapter directly into a home AC outlet for charging, which is slower but more convenient. Supercharger stations enable fast charging, but this depends on the distribution of charging stations, which may be more restrictive.
I just picked up my Tesla Model Y last month and specifically researched the charging port location. It's located above the left rear wheel, precisely at the left rear fender area. The charging port cover is positioned between the taillight clusters - just press it to pop open. Every time I approach the car for charging, the headlights flash blue once, which feels particularly futuristic. Inside the charging port, there are two interfaces: a larger DC fast-charging port and a standard AC charging port. When parking for charging, remember to position the left side near the charger - this thoughtful design keeps the connector dry even during rainy conditions. The biggest change since switching to an EV is developing the habit of plugging in casually when returning home at night.
