Does Tesla Come with a Charging Station When Purchased?
2 Answers
Purchasing a Tesla comes with a charging station, and if certain conditions are met, free installation is also provided. The conditions are: 1. Within 350 kilometers of a Tesla service center; 2. The charging cable length is within 30 meters. Tesla's vehicle lineup includes the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, among others. Among them, the Tesla Model 3 is equipped with a permanent magnet motor, paired with an electric vehicle single-speed transmission, delivering a maximum power of 202 kW and a maximum torque of 404 Nm. In terms of safety, the Tesla Model 3 is equipped with features such as tire pressure monitoring, seatbelt reminder, ABS anti-lock braking system, and traction control system.
I just bought a Tesla Model 3, and the whole process went pretty smoothly. Tesla provides a mobile charging device called the Mobile Connector, which is that small box that plugs into a household socket. It's portable and suitable for temporary charging. However, it's not a fixed wall-mounted charging station—those cost extra, selling for a few thousand yuan in the official store. I initially tried using the Mobile Connector myself, carrying it while driving and using it at home for temporary charging, though it's slower. Later, I found it inconvenient and added a wall-mounted charger. The installation service was included, saving me the hassle of hiring an electrician. In short, what comes with the car is the mobile version; the wall-mounted charger isn't included, so it depends on personal needs whether to purchase one. Sharing more experiences, some car enthusiasts also recommend using third-party charging stations, which are much cheaper, but compatibility must be ensured.
