Has anyone lost a charging cable? I will be charging at work, and although I am pretty comfortable with the security, it strikes me that public charging stations may not be as secure. Once I receive my MS (within the next 2 weeks)I will take a look to see if there is a way to temporarily secure the cable to the car. Any thoughts?
Tesla cables are locked to the car.
The adapters.... not so much.
@hsadler
The J adapter locks to the car also (i.e., the adapter used with a public charging station). You are correct, however, that if you use the Mobile Connector cable with, say, a NEMA 14-50 adapter (for example, at a campground), then the cable locks to the car, but the adapter can be removed from both the cable and the wall outlet.
It's not like there's a hot black market for UMC adapters, so don't get too worked up about it.
When using the adapters that do not lock - be sure to remember to take with you. I read here of one instance where the adapter was left plugged into the Charging station.

Elon has tweeted that this week's announcement will now be the loan repayment, so supercharger announcement pushed back. Again. Urgh.
