Tesla goes full Apple and stops delivering cars with included charging hardware, now sold separately (U)

Tesla changed its long-standing policy to deliver every vehicle with a mobile charging cable and instead, it started selling them separately for $400 for level 2 charging and $275 for level 1.

The move is reminiscent of Apple removing the included USB charging brick with the iPhone.

Update: Tesla CEO Elon Musk says Tesla will reduce the price by $75 of the currently out of stock mobile charger in response to the backlash.

Update 2: According to Tesla’s chat, unless you’ve already taken delivery, Mobile chargers are now no longer included even though they were at time of purchase.

Update 3: Tesla internal communication now says that all deliveries “for the next several weeks” will come with the Mobile Connector included.
