    New NEMA 6-50 & 10-30 UMC Adapters

    Hadn't seen anything posted yet so I figured I mention that today I received a package from Tesla. Inside were several newly revised and manufactured Tesla UMC adapters. This is due to the recall. These have a white connector face. Since I had purchased the entire collection of UMC adapters way...

    Building NEMA 6-20P to NEMA 5-20R Adapter

    I thought I would make a new post with pictures I took while building my NEMA 6-20P to NEMA 5-20R Adapter. This adapter allows you to charge at 12A or 16A at 240V from a NEMA 6-20 receptacle. The NEMA 6-20 receptacle is easy to install if you have an existing 120V outlet on its own dedicated...

    Adding a subpanel - load calculations

    I recently decided it's time to update my current setup in the garage. I currently have a NEMA 14-50R installed, wired directly to my main panel in the basement, into which I plug my UMC. Additionally, my garage has a single 120V outlet and two single light bulbs on the ceiling. Since these are...

    Hardwire a 14-50 plug to a UMC

    Got an early UMC from a friend with visible melted plastic between the connector and the 14-50 adapter. During charging the AMPs would drop to 20 and clearly was not safe to continue using it that way. By the way, here is a disclaimer: I shall not be held responsible for any damage to hardware...

    Tesla-vriendelijke vakantieadressen

    Zag iemand anders het toevallig ook suggereren.. wellicht aardig om een separaat draadje te starten met tips over Tesla-vriendelijke vakantielocaties. Plekken waar je gegarandeerd met een UMC (of zelfs sneller) je auto kunt laden - net als thuis (omdat iemand anders dat ervaren heeft). Voor...

    Anyone need a Tesla 10-30 adapter

    I'm planning on swinging by a local service center to pick up a 5-20 adapter and when I called them today they said they had 10-30s in stock. I might pick one up for myself but I'm wondering if anyone else needs one since they aren't available online and some service centers no longer have them...

    HPWC/UMC Charger Plug Case?

    Anyone seen any protection for the charger plug on the HPWC/UMC? I've rubbed mine on the concrete once or twice when coiling/uncoiling in the garage and hate to see it get even the smallest of scratches! Anyone come across any kind of plastic, silicone or rubber sleeve case for it?

    3D printed UMC wall mount

    I know others have done this before, but I wanted to create my own version of a 3D printable wall mount for my UMC. If someone wants to print it too, all the files are available on thingiverse.

    Using UMC vs HPWC for all charging at home

    What is the expert opinion on using just UMC in your personal garage rather than mounting a HPWC if you do not have dual chargers and only plan to charge at 40A? Any pros and cons you can suggest to help make the decision easier? thanks, -OL

    UMC trouble on Norwegian electricity network

    I live in Belgium (quite a long way from Norway). However, where I live, the electricity network is 230V phase-to-phase and without neuter (so-called 230V "delta"). If I am not mistaken, this is the same setup as most of Norway (the standard almost everywhere else in Europe being 400V...

    What to do with your old NEMA 14-50 plug adapter...Make a universal plug!

    My dad was doing some experimenting with the UMC to discover how it determines which adapter is plugged into it. The goal was to get 24 amps from a 120V source without buying the proper adapter from the Tesla store. It turns out that the two communication pins (shown in the picture below) have...

    Inner workings of the UMC

    This thread over at My Nissan Leaf Forum View topic - Tesla Model S has a description of the inner workings of the UMC. Described there is the process of disassembling the UMC and some comments on the quality. Any engineers or electricians care to share their thoughts? I am neither, but to...

    Tesla Model S UMC Plug for sale

    Hi There, I changed the plug on our UMC to a J1772 so it can charge both our Model S and other EVs (like the Fiat 500e we get next week). So I'm selling the Model S plug - great for someone's OpenEVSE project. I left about a 10" tail to make connection easy (so you don't have to open up the...

    Bad UMC: Model S not charging

    After commenting just 20 min ago how much I enjoy the Model S, I came home this evening, plugged in Model S and then: 1) Model S locked the charging cable to the car and wouldn't release and wasn't charging 2) Somehow, I got it to release the charging cable (via Open Charge Port, pushing the...
