Hi and Welcome,
If your car is brand new then you should get a usb multi cable with apple lightening and usb C connection.
You should also get a Tribe set which includes a boxed carbon fibre key cover and bracelet.
Enjoy your new car.

I think they meant charging cable for the car not phone . In Oz you get a type 2 to type 2.

You'll get a type 2 cable which enables charging with AC up to 11kW when connected to AC chargers/home charger.
You don't need a cable for rapid DC charging. That is 50kW and greater as they will be tethered to the charging unit.
In short, you will be good to go.

Can anyone tell me the rough length of the supplied type 2 cable (in Australia)? I’m looking at installing a wall smart charger ahead of our Born arriving in a month or so.
Thanks!

I'm trying to work out if I bother buying a 10amp level 2 charger, I wouldn't use it at home as I'm in an apartment complex and I guess the only time I'd use it would be when it was an emergency and I needed to trickle charge it somewhere

Hi Boinzo
Measured mine at 5m. Can't imagine a global source would vary.
Instructions are in English, couldn’t find Australian but did post the picture upside down 😊

My cable is defo more than 5m, maybe around 6.5m. I hard installed it from the box across garage roof to rear right of the car. I bought a spare for long trips.
If you really want the exact length I can measure it exactly.
