Solid green lighting around inside of charge port.
While charging is in progress, the lighting inside the charge port area flashes amber.

The light around the charge port stops pulsing and the light turns solid green.

charging. When charging is complete, the light around the charge port stops pulsing and the light turns
solid green.
Bad news: If the Model S is locked during charging, the charge port light does not illuminate but the
vehicle continues to charge.
