We plan on selling in 3-4 years so honestly we would not need more than what the 6-50 can offer. The next step for us would have to be to upgrade the panel to get more anyway so I am not looking to do that.Do the 14-50, or at least, run the N wire.
If anything in the future you can easily swap to something else. The labor is the hard part. a single wire means you're much more future proof.
Panel upgrade is $4,500 so not really. That’s what I’m sticking to a 40amp.Get the Wall Connector instead, it is only $200-300 more when you consider the total cost of a 14-50 or 6-50 install. If you want to future proof you can add the Neutral as @SabrToothSqrl suggested.
I suggest you don't penny pinch. You spent a small fortune on the car, don't cheap out when it comes to charging it.

I agree, but the panel upgrade is way too much for me to even worry about. I’m ok with the 40amp as I normally use free PlugShare chargers nearby as well. Technically the 6-20 is even ok as When I wake up it’s fully charged unless it’s 20% or less.The Wall Connector can be configured for 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 & 60 amp circuits, and you can take it with you! But if you are selling in 3-4 years than run the netural as this will be a selling point for a potenatal buyer with an EV (or a welder) as they can install anything they want.
For me, one of the biggest advantages of the Wall Connector is I am able to keep the Mobile Connector in the car, so it is never forgotten.
But if I am leaning towards the 6-50 the wall connector is just overkill. Is there a tax rebate still on it?Get the Wall Connector so you can park nose in and be able to charge.
Not a federal tax rebate, that expired at the end of 2021 and was not extended/renewed. Perhaps there is a rebate program available from MKE Power.But if I am leaning towards the 6-50 the wall connector is just overkill. Is there a tax rebate still on it?

The federal alternate fuel vehicle refueling property tax credit expired at the end of 2021.IRS From 8911, works for either the 14-50/6-50 or the wall connector. It is a 30% tax credit (up to $1,000 total credit) towards all hardware and labor. Read it to be sure it is still as the same.
About Form 8911, Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit | Internal Revenue Service
Form 8911 is used to figure a credit for an alternative fuel vehicle refueling property placed in service during the tax year. The credit attributable to depreciable property (refueling property used for business or investment purposes) is treated as a general business credit. Use this form to...www.irs.gov
Are you sure? This is from the 8911 about page;The federal alternate fuel vehicle refueling property tax credit expired at the end of 2021.
Yes. Congress did not act at the end of 2021 to either renew or extend this tax credit. Form 8911 can still be used for home charging installations that were completed by December 31, 2021.Are you sure? This is from the 8911 about page;
"Use the January 2022 revision of Form 8911 for tax years beginning in 2021 or later, until a later revision is issued."
'm not sure if you can use a 40 amp breaker with the 6-50 the way you can with the 14-50 (per the NEC.)
Idk why everyone is pushing the wall connector when it would be of zero extra benefit with much added cost
Don't leave out the 24 foot charging cord. That is almost 6 feet longer than the charging cord on the Mobile Connector.So the added cost is about $195-275, mostly dependent on the cost of the 14-50 outlet and GFIC breaker. So what do we get for the extra money?
Of course not all of these apply to everyone, so it may still not be worth it to many people.
- Charge at 40A instead of 32A on a 50A circuit. Charge at 48A on a 60A circuit
- The mobile connetor that came with the car stays in the car so it is not forgotten when needed
- The wall connector is waterproof so it can be installed outside
- It supports power sharing when multiple wall connectors are installed
- It receives firmware updates. Power sharing was added via a firmware update. Also added was the ability to lock the connector to only Tesla cars, or just to one car
