New Deliveries, check your UMC contains a 3 pin UK plug!

[JohnnyMiller]

Just a heads up, I ticked off the UMC being present on my mental list when I saw the black bag in the boot on collecting my 3 today. Just had a look at its contents and its EU only.

Luckily I've got a tethered pod point, but I'd be snookered if I hadn't, worth checking the content of the bag on delivery!

This is good advice so responding to bump it up the forum so people see it

Oh yes check your cables before you leave, they expected me to leave without even checking that they were there!

 

[TestPilot]

Yeah, same here, and I did! Luckily everything was there.

Mine had 3 pin and commando, but would quite like to get my hands on the EU adaptor eventually.

Collecting tomorrow. What cables/adapters should I get?

 

[NorfolkMustard]

These three in a black zip bag
1 x Tesla mobile connector (TMC)
1 x short adapter for the TMC with 13amp plug (10amp charging)
1 x short adapter for the TMC with blue commando plug (16 amp charging)

this, separate
1 x “type 2” cable for use on public AC chargers. Usually a blue cable

see here Charging Connectors

You are lucky! Demand a UK 3 pin adapter from Tesla, to which you are entitled. Hold on to the EU one, which you thus get for free.

 

[JohnnyMiller]

Have done, raised a service via the app and they’ve texted me to say they will contact me when parts are in stock. Also emailed deliverygb in case I can swing buy the delivery centre and swap it

Good idea - I'm not getting my charger installed for nearly two weeks post-delivery so I may not be going far without a 3 pin plug!

Top tip: Don't assume as you have an EU adaptor it will work on the continent. I did a 1500 mile France trip this summer, and was advised I need 2 different adaptors, the two adaptors look virtually identical, the difference is that one operates on a reverse polarity so depending on where you are visiting depends on which adaptor you require. France is a bit of a funny one. As it was I ended up solely using Superchargers.

Were you on Gen 2 UMC ? Apparently Gen 2 doesn't care if polarity is reversed or not.

No mines a 2016, so earlier UMC.
