It’s egregious, just egregious they make another broad vague decision and don’t tell their only direct contacts with customers what is going on.

Still a communications failure from Tesla. This should be clearly specified on Tesla’s website. Customers should not have to shake down a sales advisor to get this information.

Absolutely. At this point, their garbage communication is on purpose. They don't want it to be improved. To what end, I can't imagine.
Interesting...when we asked our sales associate if we should get one he said "not really". He said it will charge about 50 minutes faster overnight but you'll be sleeping...the only other reason is if you leave your garage open so you neighbors can see it b/c it "looks cool".
SO we passed. LOL Luckily we have two as we have two Teslas...one stays home and one goes in LR on "trips".
I'm sad that people could be caught out. But other than that, it's effectively just a price increase.
The included mobile connector with a 6-50 plug adapter is now my primary EVSE in the garage. I had intended to use an existing wall-mount EVSE that I had for a previous EV along with the included J1772 adapter, but that EVSE did not play nicely with the Model 3 (sometimes charged, but frequently failed to communicate properly to start charging when desired).
Hint: if you are looking for a J1772 EVSE to charge both a Tesla and a J1772 EV, the one that did not like the Model 3 was a Siemens Versicharge.
I got it because it was convenient. The cables just loop around the unit and the cables are very long. $500 for convenience was worth it to me.
