NEMA 14-50 adapter question - only for recent June deliveries

[Bentesling]

Hi,

I have a Model 3 which came with a NEMA 14-50 adapter, but I understand at some point Tesla stopped including the adapter with Model 3s and Ys, and only included the the 5-15 adapters. My question: for anyone who took delivery of their Model Y this month (June), is that still the case, or has Tesla resumed including the 14-50 adapter?

I took delivery of my Model Y yesterday and did not receive a 14-50 adapter.

Thanks for confirming the current state of those adapters for a recent purchase.

Tesla stopped including 14-50’s back around April 2019. It’s a $35 purchase from their site. and my May build, delivered June Model Y did not come with the 14-50 either.

I took delivery of MY 2 weeks back . The Nema 14-50 did not come with it but i had to order by Tesla for $35.

I wish they’d just offer it as an upgrade at purchase for $200 more. The 110v charger is a token gesture...

But everyone has a 110v plug, that's probably why they include that one now.

Edit: actually, didn't they use to include both? If so, nevermind

They give you enough to get going, they know that you'll want faster charging so you'll pay the $35 to buy it from them... it's pretty normal practice for any company.

Yeah a 14-50 adapter would be worthless for many customers, it doesn't make sense to include it IMO. The only issue is how the 14-50 is often out of stock, luckily I ordered one months ago.

My problem is that I still need to get the service installed at my house though.

My major concern was it being out of stock, so I’ll keep my old Adapter plug when I trade in to be on the safe side.

Would be nice if they had a bunch of items to up sell you upon pickup, namely charging adapters, garage door opener, and floor mats. I don’t mind the minor extra costs for those of us who need adapter plugs, etc. it’s the hassle of waiting months for certain items To get back in stock, or those eBay hoarders who buy up entire lots every time Tesla releases more stock.

I’ve got the info I need now, thanks everyone.

yea, upselling was my mine point. They could charge more for them

They could still include the 110v and charge 200 for the 50 amp 240v

I find it ironic that people are asking for Tesla to up sell to them at the time of delivery. One of the biggest benefits to the direct to customer sales model, is that you don't have to deal with a sales person trying to sell you on x y and z when all you want to do is pick your new car up.

It's my first Tesla and I got lucky that the guy next to use asked me the same question... did I get the 14-50 adapter. We both looked for it and it was not included. I was also fortunate that they had it in stock. Saved me the hassle of trying to get one asap.

Only FSD and P are the typical upsells.
