Old vs. New Tesla Home Charger

[dherman76]

Hi - I'm a current Tesla owner who uses the below charger for my Tesla Y which is coming off lease any day now. I'm upgrading to a 2024 Model S Long Range and wondering if I should get the new Tesla charger or if I should just keep this one? Does the newer one have any benefits other than look/feel? Thanks in advance.

The photo looks like the current Gen 2 mobile connector. Are you using it as pictured, with a 120VAC plug? I don't see what you will gain by purchasing a new one.

If you can install a Wall Connector, you could put the money into that and potentially get a higher charging speed. Toss the mobile connector in the frunk.

There is no newer one. That is the current generation of mobile charging cable.

Since it is coming off lease and you will be returning it, are they requiring you to return the charger? If so, you may have to buy a new one if your new vehicle doesnt come with one.

It's a good question. We shall see when I return it. Right now, stuck in this EPA debacle. My car is at the dealership but they cannot give it to me yet.

EPA debacle?

EPA debacle?

Must have failed an emissions test.

Yah, failed emissions test so Tesla has been holding on all new deliveries until solved...

Right. Emissions? Hope that is #sarcasm. But I didn’t know about the range thing so that should just be changing the algorithm and pushing an update.
