I charged next to a Model Y last week & the blue Mennekes cable looked very short, it only just stretched across the boot to the (far side) charge port from a Pod Point & nobody could have walked between them.

On the other hand, the Mennekes I was supplied with is something like 5m or more. I've never measured it but whenever it's been used in a similar arrangement there are multiple coils still laying on the ground & on one occasion it easily went past an ICE car blocking the charger bay even though the charge port was on the furthest side of the Tesla.

My new one from June 2022 is also 5m, definitely longer than the one I got in 2019. It's not Mennekes.

Mobile Connector also provided, but with 3 pin only rather than also including a blue 16A (which I never used).

I got a blue Mennekes cable with the Y that I collected about a month ago, it must be about 7m long as I can park in the drive facing the house and plug into the charger on the wall with plenty of slack. There is a granny charger too, not that I’ve used it yet.
