Tesla, as of a few days ago has stopped including the mobile charging kit with the purchase of new Tesla cars. Tesla_Adri on Twitter first spotted the issue earlier last week and shortly afterwards, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the news was indeed true. The mobile charger has long been included with new purchase of Tesla cars and allows the owner to charge the car up from a standard electrical socket, which will be slow but will allow you to add two to three miles of range in around an hour of charging.
Based on feedback received, we will drop mobile connector price to $200 & make it easy to order with car.
Note, mobile connector is not needed if you have a Tesla wall connector or to use Superchargers.
Recommend installing Tesla wall connector well before car arrives.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 17, 2022
The mobile charger usually retails for $275 in the US and to justify the removal of it, Elon Musk said that the sage statistics for it were low. However, after some fuss created on Twitter he later announced that the price would be dropped to $200 and make it more visible to purchase while initially ordering the car. However, he did also say that Tesla recommends getting the Tesla wall connecter installed before your car arrives.
