I'm surprised at the prices I see quoted for a Tesla charger. Mine cost $500, plus about 350 for the installation, in 2019. That's before a 30% Federal tax rebate. Mine has a 20' cable - it has to reach over a garden bed. Perhaps your cousin could get a similarly long cable that can reach both cars. pt
