Walked out this morning to find my Tesla mobile connector cable chewed through, wires exposed. No idea what did it — squirrel, rat, rabbit, the chipmunks under the deck. Something out here decided a $300 piece of EV equipment looked edible.
Going to need to replace it. If anyone has tricks for keeping cables safe from wildlife — other than the obvious “don’t leave it on the ground” — I’m all ears, because the cable runs along the ground regardless of intent.
The genuinely lucky part: it didn’t happen mid-charge. The mobile connector is the only charging cable Tesla ships with the car, and it’s clearly not designed for the conditions most of us actually use it in. Add it to the list.
Even that's Odd
