Charger choices

[Club206]

Hey everyone! Looking for some thoughts on which charger to install.

I have a HPWC from a referral bonus and also have a 14-50 charger that came with my Model 3. Looking to get an idea of which you would install. The Electrical Panel is in my garage so it is easy for either one. Short 10 feet of conduit and my panel is 200 amps so I can install either one pretty easily. Electrician wants to charge 750 to install the HPWC and have not received a quote yet on the 14-50 which is simply installing an outlet. If I install the 14-50 I would hopefully sell the HPWC.

So what would you install?

HPWC is not needed just install the NEMA 14-50 outlet which you can DIY no issues ease as making a cake. Purchase a used mobile connector 40A version off of amazon or eBay to leave at home. Sell the HPWC to cover your costs.

TESLA S/X/3 GEN 1, Mobile Connector Charger 40 AMP, NEMA 14-50 and 5-15 adapters | eBay

Then give Tesla the finger for their stupid accessory prices.

Charge on!

You could install the HCWC on the 50amp circuit in place of the 14-50 outlet. It can be used on a variety of circuit sizes.

You have it use it. It is even worth paying for in many cases if you don't have one free. Great to keep the UMC as a spare and the cheap 14-50 outlets can be failure prone So you eliminate that potential failure point.

ALSET YXES what specifically in my post is there to disagree with?

If you need the money then sell it. Otherwise keep it.
