Model 3 type 2 cable length

[p_iv]

I tried my type 2 cable last night for the first time (well, there was free electricity going ;-) ), mainly to test the experience. 4M cable was unweildy enough, I'm not sure I'd really want a longer one, especially one with this thickness of cable.

I’m jealous! All my work depots have these ports, and I can’t use them currently.

I’ve asked T what I should do. They have pointed me at the Virtual service team...who I’m guessing will point me back at the delivery team...

I’m not going to make too much noise as I’m hoping they’ll pull through and sort this out for me.

When i was speaking to the car sales man at T, he said i would get a 7m cable with the car. Unfortunately, i only received a 4m cable so i purchased another one online. Issue is not im not sure if i can leave it out in the rain !

Called the delivery Centre. They called the Service Centre. Type Two turned up at home a couple days later. A little bit of faith restored.

reference leaving outside, did it not come with ‘caps’? Mine did.

The rubber caps are dust caps, not rain protection. If you leave the caps on in the rain they’re likely to fill up with water, which is bad. The plug is designed to be self-draining without the cap.

You need to purchase the 32A commando adaptor for the UMC gen 2

The 32amp commando adapter is an extra. It costs £32 from your local service centre. you use it with your UMC instead of the 13amp plug or 16amp commando.
