Lost a $40 charger on a rest stop run and it ruined my whole trip
So I was coming through the Pilot station in Gary, Indiana last Tuesday morning. I set my laptop charger down on the counter while paying for gas and somebody just walked off with it. Didn't realize until an hour later when I got to my drop off and the battery was at 6%. Had to spend $55 at a Best Buy in Merrillville for a cheap replacement that barely keeps the charge. What do you guys carry for backup chargers that don't break the bank? I'm tired of worrying about this happening again.

I mean yeah that sucks but a whole trip ruined over a 40 dollar cord seems a bit dramatic.

Dramatic" is a stretch @quinnbailey - I read somewhere that model year Teslas have a known issue where the charge port locks up if you unplug wrong, so that cord might have been the only way to get it moving. A $40 mistake turning into a weekend of waiting for a tow truck sounds like a trip ruined to me.
