2022 MYP
Elon should post usage stats for transparency since he mentioned "low usage" reason.can't believe him that the usage is super low. even the 14-50 adapter got sold out ever so often... and in preparation for my upcoming MYP, I already bought the 14-50 adapter
and what's next on the super low usage chop block? key card? back seat heater? horn? airbags?
IMO, some items should not be judged based on usage along. Things like flat tire repair kit (for some reason is not included with Tesla cars) and Mobile connector are needed in case of emergencies.
No you don't, it will work with anything from a 15-60A breaker.
Everytime I drive by a super charger in town, I think to myself...... do these people not charge at home? They are always almost full. I only use one if in a pinch or on a trip. I guess a lot of people just do not charge at home. So I can see the logic in this. But they should have lowered the price of the car lol.
But it is a $500 piece of equipment that has to be hardwired by an Electrician...

Yet you are going to buy the car anyway as will probably most who are complaining. Until sales begin to fall off Tesla will continue to cut everything they possibly can with pretty much no penalty.

I haven’t used airbags ever. They should obviously be removed to save money!can't believe him that the usage is super low. even the 14-50 adapter got sold out ever so often... and in preparation for my upcoming MYP, I already bought the 14-50 adapter

The Apple-Tesla analogy isn’t perfect but there are a lot of parallels in their rationales. As others have said, at least with smartphones Apple could reasonably make the argument that most if not all people had some sort of charger already. Tesla can’t make that argument with EVs.
I read that there are some countries that require all electronics to include ‘all necessary accessories’ and so required Apple to include a charger. I wonder if that applies to EVs, too?
I use MC at home with 6-50 outlet I still have from my previous EV Leaf. I also take MC at least once a year when I travel to NJ to charge at Parents in law house. I would think there will be more people like me vs WC peps. But maybe I am wrong. Reversal on charger policy is disappointing but survivable. Already looking in to the option of WC for home and keeping MC for travel emergencies.
P.S.
In reality I could have done it without charging at in laws since there are plenty of SC, it is just convenience thing. Also never needed MC as travel back up option ever. So maybe Elon is correct. But I don’t like it like many of us.

That's all fine and well for you. What about the individuals who have ordered a vehicle waiting months, and are now not getting what they were told they would get when entering into the purchase agreement?
Drop mobile connector as standard equipment, jack up price to $400 for charging bundle.
Observe outcry on social media about the move
Drop price of mobile connector to $200 as a "correction" (end result is still a $200 price jack LOL)
I wonder if there are still folks who are burning off their free SC miles from referrals. Once I got down to the last month before my miles expired, I used the SCs a few times just to burn off the last of those free kWh.

People that live in apartments probably don't charge at home.
Mine expired last month. Lost 235 miles and yes, I did what you did LOL
An adapter for a 110 volt outlet (NEMA 5-15) is included as standard equipment with all new Tesla cars.

FYI I am waiting on MY like many others. I wasn’t promised Razen but I assume that MY will have it as well as other improvements. As I said I am disappointed in Elons decision but it is not the end of the world.
