Does Tesla Provide a Mobile Charger with the Car?
2 Answers
Tesla does not provide a mobile charger with the car. Here is the relevant introduction: Brand Introduction: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company that manufactures and sells electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. Headquartered in Palo Alto, it was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The founders named the company "Tesla Motors" in honor of the physicist Nikola Tesla. Products: Tesla's first car product, the Roadster, was launched in 2008 as a two-door sports car. In 2012, Tesla released its second car product—the Model S, a four-door all-electric luxury sports sedan; the third car product is the Model X, a luxury all-electric SUV.
To be honest, the charger situation when buying a Tesla really piqued my curiosity. I've read many user experiences shared online and discovered that since 2022, Tesla no longer includes the portable charging cable as standard equipment in their vehicles—that little device you'd expect. I recall it might have been included when purchasing older Model S versions, but now Models 3 and Y don't come with it by default. You have to buy it separately as an accessory, costing around 2,000 yuan. The reason is probably to encourage users to utilize Superchargers or home charging stations more, reducing unnecessary accessory waste. However, this item is quite practical. If you frequently travel or go to remote areas, keeping a Mobile Connector handy for topping up your car's charge is very convenient. I recommend ordering it directly from Tesla's official website—it can even be compatible with regular sockets when paired with an adapter. In short, it's best to check the new car's configuration list or consult with a salesperson before purchasing, to avoid the hassle of driving home only to find out there's no charger available—that kind of surprise is too much trouble.
