Quick question mobile charger

[ramanv]

I am getting a used Tesla from Tesla. It is a model 3 2020 standard range plus. Will that come with mobile charger?

 

[RayK]

2020 vehicle should have come from the factory with a mobile connector. I believe that they were dropped sometime early 2022. I would insist that Tesla provide one.

You should clarify with your sales person. It did come with it originally but possible the previous owner did not return it.

 

[RayK]

I would treat it as any other piece of "standard" equipment. If it came standard with the car when new, it should be provided on this sale. Especially since the seller is Tesla. If the previous owner did not return the mobile connector, then that's Tesla's fault for not collecting it. If a used ICE car came with a spare tire as standard equipment, wouldn't you expect one if it's resold by a manufacturer's dealer?

The logic above is perfect but:

Tesla changes policies very often. It is best to clarify.

Yes, they do. However in 2020, when the car was first sold, it came with a mobile connector as standard equipment.

But note that when the mobile connector was included, it included only the 5-15 plug adapter.

Spoke to the Tesla CS and he said that the car should come with the mobile charger.

The mobile connector came with a standard 5-15 NEMA adapter (your run-of-the-maill 120VAC plug). If that is enough to charge your car (about 4-5 miles of range per hour), then you're set. On the other hand, if you already have a 240VAC outlet or plan to install one, you should be able to buy an adapter for the mobile connector from here:
