A Tesla enthusiast noticed on saturday that Tesla is currently charging $400 for a 120 volt “portable connector” charging cable when buying a Tesla, which is a very slow way to charge your Tesla but with a regular household outlet. Previously, the cellular adapter that came with the car was free. Some parts of the Internet have gone crazy.
I can’t really tell who are Tesla fans anymore, or who are critics of it, because each group has split into millions of different subgroups, as Tesla has been around for almost 20 years now. That was more than enough time for fans to feel complicated about their admiration and for critics to change their minds about some things. In other words, I’m pretty sure there aren’t many more pure grudges or critics, as people’s relationships with Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk become more complicated by the day, and the appearance on Tuesday Seven, this seems certain. complicates things for some fans even more.
Elon even declined to reply, announcing that Tesla would be cutting the price of mobile connected devices in half, in response to “feedback”, possibly just some angry tweets he saw on the internet. .
This, on the one hand, isn’t really that big of a deal, because, as Elon notes, not many people use a portable connector, a small charger, because it takes forever, and if you own one Tesla then that is almost certain. that you’ll also enjoy the wall-mounted fast-charge connector, which always adds hundreds of dollars. On the other hand, this also affects Tesla’s nickel – and offends its own customers, which is what all companies aspire to do – which is, in fact, the very point of owning and controlling. run a business – not so naked, because then it feels like an insult.
This is a (somewhat) representative response of the random owner. I say “partially” because inviting Mike Lindell is a bit of an understatement.
The bottom line of all of this is that, as of this typing, both cellular connections Tesla offers are listed as out of stock on Tesla’s website. Also, the $200 price that Elon offers only seems to apply when you get the mobile connector to the car. Tesla’s website or it needs to be updated:
Anyway, here’s your daily report from Tesla-land, where passions always boil. I hope they cool down one day.
