Short answer: No — Tesla does not always include a home charger with every new vehicle anymore.
Here’s what you need to know about what is and isn’t included:
🔌 Chargers and Accessories With a New Tesla
📍 Mobile Connector (Home Charger Cable)
-
Historically, Tesla used to include a Mobile Connector charging cable bundle with every new car — this let you plug into a regular outlet or a 240 V outlet at home.
-
Tesla stopped including the Mobile Connector as standard equipment. Now it must be purchased separately if you want it.
-
That means new Tesla deliveries typically do not include a charger cable that you can immediately plug into a home outlet after delivery.
-
Some recent orders may still include one if ordered before the change or due to transitional inventory policies, but this is not guaranteed.
👉 In most cases today, you’ll need to buy charging hardware yourself (if you want home charging beyond public chargers or Superchargers).
🔧 What You Can Buy for Home Charging
Here are common home charging products you might buy:
Home charging gear options:
-
Tesla Wall Connector Hardwired EV Charger – Fastest home option; professional installation required.
-
Tesla Universal Wall Connector Hardwired EV Charger – Capable charger compatible with Tesla and other EVs.
-
Tesla Mobile Charger Connector 110 V & 220 V – Portable home charging cable (basic).
-
Tesla Gen 2 Mobile Connector Charger Kit – Official Tesla mobile cable bundle (often sold separately now).
-
Tesla Wall Connector Type 2 Mobile Charger – Another home charger option.
-
Fixturedisplays Tesla Mobile Charger Level 1+2 – Third‑party mobile charger compatible with Tesla.
🏠 What Tesla Does Still Provide
-
Tesla generally includes a J1772 adapter so you can use many public EV chargers. (Owner reports and community info indicate this is still typical, but check your delivery paperwork.)
-
They do not automatically include a dedicated home charging cable or wall connector with new vehicles now.
📌 Why This Matters
-
Without an included charger or adapter for a home outlet, you won’t be able to charge at home right after delivery unless you already have a compatible setup or buy charging equipment beforehand.
-
Tesla recommends installing a home charger like a Wall Connector or preparing a 240 V circuit before delivery.
✅ Summary
✔ New Teslas do not automatically include a home charging cable anymore.
✔ You can purchase a mobile charger or install a wall charger for home use.
✔ Tesla still sells wall connectors and mobile charging hardware, but they’re paid options.
If you want, I can help figure out which home charger to choose based on your power setup and budget—just let me know your home outlet type (120 V or 240 V)!
