In all honesty, I don't think you will need an extra charging cable for public charging stations as most of them have the cable. Best to check where you will be mostly public charging from and see if they have a cable already attached. If not, in most cases it's a ccs2 to ccs2 cable you will need
Get the 3 phase cable so if the type 2 outlet is 22kw you will get that instead of 7kw.
In SA many of the smaller RAA sites are BYO cable so it pays to keep one in your boot.

is a 5m cable enough for most charging places, 7m seems quite a bit more expensive!Get the 3 phase cable so if the type 2 outlet is 22kw you will get that instead of 7kw.

5m is heaps, most chargers you are backing up to so it’s plenty. The evse on comes in this bag to keep it all neat and tidy.
I’ve used it a few times, feels very solid and high quality.

Happy Easter, everyone! So exciting to see so many of you getting your vehicles this weekend. So jealous. 
Omg, so now I need another charge cable. I thought all charging stations had a cable, sigh, another $500Get the 3 phase cable so if the type 2 outlet is 22kw you will get that instead of 7kw.

First day charging experience - even though I have a home charging solution, I went for a drive around where I live and thought that I'll experiment with public charging. There is a free 7 KW charger (4 chargers, 2 were available) at the local shopping centre - but they all needed a cable. Then I drove to a my gym, they offer free 7 Kw charging as well, but that needed a cable too. Next stop was Tesla destination charger #1 at another shopping centre - they had 2, both were occupied with 3 cars in wait. So gave up and went to a Jolt charger, I must have tried for 15 min but couldn't get it to work even though the app said that it was working alright, for some reason it just wouldn't physically connect to the car - it went all the way in (CCS2, DC) but the app kept giving me error. Then I drove to a Tesla destination charger #2 but experienced the first ICEing of my life - so that was fun. I gave up and then came back home... lol! I've decided to use the one at home tomorrow when my solar is in full swing... 
Home is best. Pair it with an ev electricity plan that gives you free usage between 11-2pm and super off peak 8c/kwh between midnight and 6am and you’ll never need to visit one again (unless you’re travelling somewhere!)

VIN just popped up on my Tesla app abruptly... not sure why it chose this time to update or does it mean something else 
Updated this morning after all previous attempts have been properly cancelled out. I don’t think there was an external influence, she’s sorted herself on her own.

Charging it from solar is fun. Nevertheless, this is not the first rural long-commute tesla in my area. I see more and more of those. What’s even more interesting, I often see a bloke who drives mitsi i-miev here!
Charging setup: 32A outdoor socket, 32A adapter from evchargers, Tesla umc “semi-permanently” attached to it, cable hook is $11 from bunnings as matches black-orange colour palette beautifully.
