You’re using the onboard charger regardless. The Juicebox and the Tesla UMC are just different EVSEs.Prior to buying my model 3 I had volt where I used a Juicebox Charger. Is there any benefit to using the juicebox with the model 3 or should I just use the direct cable provided by tesla and rely on onboard charger on the model 3? Thanks
He's just being pedantic. The differences are as I described above.So no difference since both are going through the same onboard charger?
Usually I am the guy who is irritated at people correcting folks all the time about the use of the word "charger", but in this case, it really was specifically a misunderstanding about whether the onboard charger in the car was being used or not. So the explanation was specifically called-for and relevant here and was not just being pedantic.He's just being pedantic. The differences are as I described above.

I completely disagree. The question was:But in this case, the correction was given without also clarifying its impact on OP's question, leaving OP with a mistaken impression.
So the person was asking because he thought it was using some different charging method that might have some technological impact.Is there any benefit to using the juicebox with the model 3 or should I just use the direct cable provided by tesla and rely on onboard charger on the model 3?
This comment clarified that they really are using the same charging method.You’re using the onboard charger regardless. The Juicebox and the Tesla UMC are just different EVSEs.
So it provided additional information and cleared up a misunderstanding, which is, by definition, "a net increase in understanding".I've got no issue with folks correcting charger vs EVSE. But we have to ensure we communicate a net increase in understanding when we do so.

But you already addressed that part and gave those answers. He commented after you with answering a different question that you had not addressed. Why do you think it would have been better for him to just redundantly cover the same ground you just did and not answer that additional question? That wouldn't be beneficial.but left the first part unanswered and clouded. A more helpful response would have addressed the core question (is there a benefit to using a JuiceBox over a UMC),

That's the most twisted interpretation of anything I've heard. Someone stated something wrong--gets a correction--and then restates it correctly to confirm they got it right. And you think that means that they have now been confused?That came after my reply, suggesting that the EVSE post confused him.

It's cool. You did answer the question about the practical and convenience issues. That was great--thank you. I just couldn't understand why you were continually trying to argue and disagree with someone who answered the other question, which was of a technical nature.There is a difference b/t using a JuiceBox and a UMC, even though both go through the on-board charger. Now I'm really out.
