Tesla lets drivers drive off with charging cable attached in the US, not Europe
Original: Tesla lets drivers flee a Supercharger plugged in, but not in Europe
Tesla has introduced a feature in North America that lets drivers drive away from a Supercharger while the charging cable is still plugged in, with the cable detaching automatically. The convenience is not being extended to European vehicles, where connectors and charging regulations differ. Drivers and auto commentators are weighing the practicality and safety of the change.
Why now: A newly announced Tesla feature highlights a regional difference in Supercharger behavior, prompting debate among EV owners.
