Tesla Motors Club

Hello all,

I've recently took deliver of my model 3 (less then 48 hours ago), I attempted to charge my car at home today and noticed the standard charging kit that came with my car doesn't reach any outlet.

For the time being I'll be using a local super charge station but would like to be charging from home as it can inconvenient having to visit a super charger every time to charge. I'm unfamiliar with the electrical world, I'm a software engineer/developer so this isn't quite my forte and could use some help.

My question here is can I use my existing charging kit the came with my car (Gen 2 Mobile Connector Bundle) with an extension cable? I've seen extension cables like this one recommended:

I have no outlet where I would be able to plug the above extender in the image.

Any recommendations on what I can do?
