Charge port on the wrong side? How to reach a Supercharger cable
Updated 2026-09-19
Tesla put every charge port on the driver-side rear corner, so V3 Supercharger cables are short and hang from a post at the back-left of each stall. If your port is somewhere else, the cable may not reach. Here is where the port is on every non-Tesla EV with Supercharger access, how to park, and why 994 V4 sites make the problem go away.
The rule of thumb
- Rear-left port: park like a Tesla, back in.
- Rear-right port: back in, use an end stall, or accept that you are using the next stall's cable.
- Front port (either side): pull in nose first, as close to the post as you can.
- Any port at a V4 site: the longer cable reaches. Look for V4 in the site card on the map or the V4 list.
Never park across two stalls at a busy site if you can avoid it, and never unplug someone else's car. If a layout does not work for you, the map shows the next site; V4 sites are marked.

Back in. The short V3 cable usually only reaches from the post of the stall to your right, so take an end stall or expect to borrow the neighbour's cable. V4 posts reach fine.
