Charging cable included with a new model Y
- Thread starter Rdriver
- Start date
I got my Model Y in September 2020. It came with a Tesla Mobile Connector with a NEMA 5-20 adapter. That’s plus into a “normal” 120 volt 15 or 20 amp receptacle. If you need to charge faster than 4 miles added per hour then you could have a NEMA 14-50R installed and by the 14-50 adapter from Tesla for $45. That will add 29 or 30 miles per hour to your battery.

I don't know of an open pigtail that you could use. It would probably be easiest to just install a 14-50 or similar outlet connected to the panel/breaker and get the correct adapter from Tesla.
if you really want to hard wire it, I guess you could cut off the connector on the 14-50 adapter but the tail would be a bit short to wire to the breaker.

You can buy a wall connector which is hardwired, but this doesn't come with the car and currently costs $500. There are other options from other companies besides Tesla as well, e.g. JuiceBox or ChargePoint.
Yes, the mobile connector that comes with the car can charge from any outlet for which you have the appropriate adapter. The only outlet adapter that comes with the car is for the normal wall outlet. For any other receptacle type (e.g. 14-50), you need to purchase the appropriate adapter, but once you do the mobile connector will work fine with it.

Yes, the cable comes with the car. It comes with the standard 120v NEMA 5-15 adapter as well so you can plug into a normal wall outlet on trips or in emergency.

The mobile connector comes with a 5-15 adapter, not a 5-20 adapter. A 5-15 plug will fit in a 5-15 or a 5-20 outlet but is only capable of charging at up to 12 amps. A 5-20 plug will only fit in a 5-20 outlet and is capable of charging at 16 amps.I got my Model Y in September 2020. It came with a Tesla Mobile Connector with a NEMA 5-20 adapter.
