Your {M} in the table, the cable in the last column
The point of the table is that you should not have to read the page. Find your model, read the last column, order.
Four models and, unusually for this site, one answer. Every Tesla sold here is Type 2, every one takes 7.4 kW at a British house, which the 32 amp lead delivers without throttling anything, and every one charges from the same place.
What changes from model to model
Anything above 7.4 kW in a specification sheet is counting phases a house does not have.
Very little, which makes this the simplest collection on the site. The Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X all take a 32 amp Type 2 lead and all reach the same figure on a domestic supply. Battery size changes how long a charge takes, not how fast it goes in.
The port is the interesting part. Tesla hides it inside the rear light cluster on the left of the body, behind a flap that opens on command, and that position is fixed by the bodyshell rather than by market. It does not mirror for right hand drive, so a British Tesla charges from the nearside rear just as a European one does. Several sources describe it as the driver's side, which is only true in a left hand drive country, and repeating that here would put the socket on the wrong flank.
Worth saying plainly: these leads are for AC charging at home or at a public post. Supercharging happens through the same socket with the network's own tethered cable, so nothing on this page affects it.
Working out the length
On length, err upwards. A lead a little longer than you need coils neatly; one a little shorter is useless. Five metres is right where the charge point is beside the socket, ten where it is not, and fifteen or twenty for a garage unit with the car outside.
A rear nearside socket is the kerb side at the back, which helps at a public post and means reversing onto a driveway is the cheaper option in cable terms. On a Model S or X at five metres long, ten metres of cable is the answer unless your charge point sits close behind.
The build, and where to look next
These are all the same cable with different ends. Tinned copper, moulded IP67 connectors, a flexible cold weather jacket, two years of warranty, free next working day delivery.
Nearside rear, inside the left tail light cluster. The position is fixed by the bodyshell and does not mirror for right hand drive, whatever a foreign review says.
Do all four Teslas use the same cable?
Yes. Type 2 to Type 2 at 32 amps suits the Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X alike.
What does a Tesla charge at on a home wallbox?
Roughly 7.4 kW, because a house supplies one phase and a 32 amp charge point on it reaches that figure and no more.
Does this cable work at a Supercharger?
You do not need one. Superchargers have their own tethered cable. This lead is for home charging and untethered public AC posts.
Which length for a Model Y?
Ten metres covers most driveways given the rear socket. Five metres works if you reverse in with the charge point close to the back of the car.
