Charging cable with 2023 card

[MrJohn]

Can anyone confirm if 2023 delivery models 3 and Y come with a charging cable and not just the 3 pin granny charger?

Picked up 2023 Model Y today (10/31/23) while trading in my 2013 Model S. When I looked over my new Y I asked where is the charging cable? I was told cables no longer come with cars. I went back to my old Model S and removed my old charging cable plus the bag of adapters that came with the car. I walked back to my new Model Y and put the charger and adapters in the truck. I turned to the Tesla rep and said “My trade in doesn’t come with a charger cable either!”

I might snap the stalks off mine and prise the parking sensors out of the bumpers too…

I use both leads all the time, only DC charged 2x in over 12 months the first being on collection. I regularly drive 150 miles between location, one with 7Kw and one with 13a socket, which easily manages to top it back up for the return overnight. The versatility is a real plus.

To be clear was it the type2 the granny charger or both that were missing?

Both. They provide NO cables.

 

[Velo1]

At the risk of stating the obvious but to stem any UK panic, Velo1 appears to be in the USA where Tesla some time ago stopped supplying the cables free of charge. I don't think there has been any change in the UK.

Correct. I am in the US. The Tesla rep upon delivery told me not supplying any cable applies to cars in US. Not sure about what Tesla does in other countries.

Here in the UK we still get both. Your post (funny as it was) might fit better on the US forum.

Thanks. I was not aware I was on the UK community forum, but I see that now.

Help Please.

My Q2, 2022 MY LR came with two cables in the trunk; a granny charging cable in the nice square black zippered bag and a second in a clear plastic bag.
I have never used the latter or even taken it out of the bag until this morning when, also for the first time ever, I stopped at a non Tesla public charger, a Believ. There being no tethered cable at the charger, I dug out the plastic bag from the trunk and discovered that whilst the smaller socket fitted the charger, the large end with the dust cap is to big for the car charge port (and for the charger). The label part description is : Charging Cable, 7.5m, Type 2,3 PH,32A.

Is this cable of any use in the UK; perhaps other brands of non Tesla Chargers have larger sockets?

Any and all feedback greatly appreciated.

P.S. I pulled the image of the net.

The actual label on my cable.

The package label looks right but the labels on each plug looks to be the same part number.

Each plug (type 2) should be nearly identical, but one end will be for car and the other for charge point.

So, are the labels on the plug for the plug, or for the cable. That’s the $6M question. If labels are for plugs, then you have two identical plugs, which is wrong.

OK! Firstly, thank you for responding MrB.
The label is on my actual plastic bag. The photo I pulled off the internet. If that is confusing I will have to upload pictures of my actual cable ends which look just like the net photo ie charger size at one end much bigger with a dust cap cover at the other end. As this larger plug end fits neither the car nor the charger, too big in each case, perhaps Tesla supplied the wrong cable with the car.
I am still none the wiser

 

[MrBadger]

The plastic bag label description looks right.

In the nicest possible way, I suspect user error or an equipment failure or the wrong type of charge point, maybe non type 2 socket.

I would be surprised if Tesla supplied a standard part that was labelled seemingly correctly on package but wrong contents.

From your description is sounds like the right type 2 cable, the end with the dust cap you just need remove that and then it should fit easily in to the top half of the charging port on the car with the flat edge at the top.

How have you been charging it since 2022? I assume you have a home charger? the plug on the cable in the bag should be the same as that and the plug in the black bag. How is it different? Could be a manufacturing defect unless they really have given you the wrong cable

Thanks all for your comments and advice and my apologies; it was down to user error! I was too cautious about applying any excessive force which was in fact necessary at the car end. I may never take it out of its bag again......
