Thanks for sharing. Just bought a 1m long adaptor. On sale.

Yes. I suggest running 5x6mm² 3phase wiring to the socket and wiring it as 3phase. When charging via the 5pin UMC tail you'd only get 7kW, however in the future should you invest in a 11kW or 22kW 3phase Wall box or portable charger then you'd be able to charge at 11kW for Model 3 (or 22kW).
