Does the glovebox no longer have a space for the J1772 Adapter?

Ironically, I don't remember ever having gloves in any glove box I have ever had. But yeah, pretty much everything else.

I used to keep "gloves" in the glove box back when I was in High School and College.

Pretty good spot for it unless your “glove” box is filled with other stuff. It’s tight and it doesn’t come lose (at least not in Insane mode.)

I was wondering why no one keeps it in the back of the drivers side door pocket - it fits perfectly, doesn't roll around at all.

Then I remembered that's (apparently) only true on the Model X.

That's the old style glove box which had that spot for the adapter. The newer glove boxes (I have a 2017 90D) do not have that recessed area...Rumor has it the spot went away when the HEPA filter was introduced but no confirmation on that. What is clear is that the newer Model S glove boxes no longer have that recessed area.

That spot went away well before the HEPA filter. My April 2015 build S85D doesn't have it. I keep my J1772 adapter in a little toolbag under the trunk floor that also holds an air compressor, tire gauge, etc.

I stand corrected. So the well went away sometime in 2015 since @Decibelle has a 2015 P85D that does have the well.

This storage area is not in my 2018 car Wish they didn't delete this feature...

For now I wrapped the adapter in a Neoprene sleeve to avoid noise and vibration and placed it in the glove box.

I'm thinking one of those beer can coolers might be a perfect fit for this adapter.
