What charger cables come with Tesla model 3.

Hi

I have just purchased a new model 3 which will be delivered next week (late June 2023).

I am confused over what charging cables/s you receive. Tesla online content says it’s just the charger cable with the 3 pin plug however the sales rep says they now also come with a 6M blue type 2 charger (that connects into a wall charge point).

Has anyone bought one in the last few weeks who can confirm what you get?

I want to arrange to have a wall charger fitted and was going to go for untethered (assuming my Tesla will come with the 6M cable that I can use).

Also if you need to use a public charge point do you need to have a charger cable with you. Again I assume that public chargers (non Tesla) usually have a tethered cable.

many thanks

Justin

The car will not come with a charging adapter, you have to choose one. There's the Mobile Connector, which is portable and comes by default with a couple of plug heads (I'm not sure which ones in the UK, but probably UK standard and/or Schuko), the Wall Connector, which is hard wired, and third party options I'm not sure of.

If you go with 3rd party, I believe the charging standard in the UK is CCS2, so you shouldn't have any problem there.

Same. I did everything online, it clearly states you have to buy the wall charger or the mobile charge kit. I had a rental that included the J1772 adapter but that was not listed so I thought Hertz provided it.

I ordered the mobile charge kit which should get here this week, and I ordered a J1772 adapter ahead of time from amazon, Picked up my new car yesterday, received the adapter from amazon, went to put it in the trunk and found that it came with one already. Doh - thankfully amazon refunds are quick and painless.
