What Charge Cables Are Supplied With The Car?

[Glan gluaisne]

One of the most useful extras I've bought (not for the Tesla, but it will work just as well with it) is a 10m long 32 A Type 2 cable, complete with a storage bag. If you intend to destination charge in hotels or other places that have socketed charge points, the extra cable length makes things an awful lot easier. A couple of times I've found the charge point parking space blocked by another car (not an EV) and the long cable has allowed me to park in another space and still plug in OK.

It comes with a type 2 cable.

 

[AdamTambaro]

Thanks a lot for that. Didn’t want to drive it back here and realise i am buggered !

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Make sure it’s present, it may be out of stock

Check your car that you receive the Type 2 cable and also, separately, the "UMC" that comes with the 13 amp plug adapter and the 16 amp commando adapter (you can also buy a 32 amp connector if you need/want one). If any of that is missing then make sure they get it for you. Most people have no problem but occasionally it has been known for some bits to disappear before delivery!

16A Commando adapter is no longer free with the car.
I believe they are available for around £30 from service centres

I got a commando in a late December collection. Wasn’t in the car, I asked and they posted it out

Ah, I had thought that turned out to be a temporary supply issue. (Mind you, the 16A connector is still referred to on the website.)

It’s referred to but listed as not supplied. Charging Connectors

I see it now ... I looked at that very page and still managed to miss the obvious information! If they are referring to adapters that aren't supplied I wonder why they don't mention the 32 amp commando as well as the 16 amp.

Maybe because until some point in 2019 the 16A connector was included but no longer is?
Who knows - it’s Tesla!

I'd second that. I didn't have the cable with my car, asked the guy about it and he went off and brought me one. Very glad that I watched a "checklist" video. Other than that, the car (and delivery) was spotless. And loving the car.

 

[MrBadger]

The cars are delivered with a mix of type2-type2 - ours was 4m - not all park/charge orientations work.

These are brilliant, easily go into the fronk and don't get cacked up with s***t dragging on the floor.
