From Tesla Sydney @ $130 + shipping. I did the adaptor.Is that the Australian UMC with the European pigtail? Did Tesla Australia supply it? or did you order it from Europe?
Yes. You Need a different plug/adaptor for each amperage you expect to use. I have 20 and 32. Neither fit a 50 AMP socket.That is a 5 pin Aussie plug, yes?
I've got a 20 and a 32. They seem to be the most common sizes.Ray, given the different sizing for the different power ratings, what size plug did you choose and how are you coping with the different supplies - that is 20. 32, and 50 amp?
Two separate tails (I think it's cheaper that way).So two separate pigtails?or a converter from 32 to 20?
Yes. You Need a different plug/adaptor for each amperage you expect to use. I have 20 and 32. Neither fit a 50 AMP socket.

no higher capacity single phase pigtails yet. I asked only about a week or so ago. I also asked whether a 3 phase adaptor could be wired single phase ( as has been done for my boat ), but was told no.Thats strange, a 32A 3ph plug should fit in a 40A or 50A socket, the 32, 40 and 50 all have the same pin size, there is just a key way that prevents a higher amperage plug going into a lower amperage socket. Obviously, all sockets must have the 5th neutral pin for the UMc to work, so 4 pin sockets are no good.

Tesla should be selling the pigtail with the 20A Aussie plug rather than the Euro plug, and offering a 32A adaptor.
Are they selling any 15A or higher 1 ph pigtails yet?
Adam.
At the risk of being thumped; from http://www.teslamotors.com/en_EU/models-charging#/basics the following diagram. If one can take the third entry and adapt as I did, what about the other entries?no higher capacity single phase pigtails yet. I asked only about a week or so ago. I also asked whether a 3 phase adaptor could be wired single phase ( as has been done for my boat ), but was told no.
If you want the real story on charging, speak to Mitchell (he's the expert).Yes. Unfortunately Jesse tells me there is no ETA on the single phase options. That is exactly what I wanted.
by the way, assuming I can get the adaptor, where did you get the socket to suit? I know yours was 3 phase, but you still needed the 3 phase European socket. Did Tesla supply it?If you want the real story on charging, speak to Mitchell (he's the expert).
If you are an electrical wiz, you could get either option 1 or 2 from the table above and build an adaptor.
Yes, it is the European one, I got the adaptor from Tesla Sydney for $130. Talk to Mitchell.by the way, assuming I can get the adaptor, where did you get the socket to suit? I know yours was 3 phase, but you still needed the 3 phase European socket. Did Tesla supply it?
