Well, you can do it the other way, but then you have to add the step "Pick yourself up off the floor when you regain consciousness".Turn off the power first, really? Brilliant!

Mine ended up that way also! I have a drill press right next to it so I lay the charge unit over the top ( which happens to be at that level ) and it’s been fine! Going on two years now.so instead of the adapter hanging down from the plug it goes up. This means I have to put a bungee cord around it to hold charge unit up. The electrician said that's the way he had to install the wall receptacle. Does anyone else have this problem and if so how do you hold your charge unit up?

Your instructions remind me of this :Just flip it over. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes or so. While you're at check all the connections and make sure they are tight. Oh yeah, and turn off the breaker first.
Unfortunately my electrician also installed mine upside down with ground on bottom vs. top. I too gave electrician Tesla instruction, but he was doing electrical upgrade work regarding a kitchen remodel (in 2018) so I guess he wasn’t familiar with EV charging. Oh well. I followed guidance on thread but unfortunately there is no slack, or the electrician pushed the slack wire up behind drywall and it’s a really tight fit. I pulled on it a little and it wouldn’t budge. I know my limits so i just screwed everything back together and will have my current (new) electrician fix problem. Maybe I’ll go the wall connector route since I’m going to have to pay to have my guy come out anyway. Delivery of Y is Dec. so lot’s of time.This is why I printed out the instructions from the Tesla site and handed them to my electrician and said follow these. The instructions are very clear that it's pin up.
Who did you go with and how much was it? I’m from the area looking to get one installed as well.so instead of the adapter hanging down from the plug it goes up.

wrong installation.....should go upside down so the cable run up the wall if its NEMA receptical......your installer is lazyWho did you go with and how much was it? I’m from the area looking to get one installed as well.
In my parking garage, all of the 120V outlets have the ground on the top. My Tesla UMC and Hyundai portable charger both have an angled plug designed with the assumption that the ground pin would be down. So, I have to secure the wire pointing-up so that it doesn't bend at the joint and eventually fail. So, apparently Tesla and Hyundai believe 120v outlets need to be ground pin down (or at lease assume that's the most popular orientation).Just to be clear, there is no "upside down" or "rightside up" orientation for any outlet.
Less code regulations? It’s a stove plug.Let's stop installing outlets to charge our EV's and use hard wired chargers instead. Faster and safer charging with less code regulations. Problem solved
You must not be familiar with the NEC code then as there is a specific standard for using outlets as an EV charger (NEC 625.XX). It's not just a regular stove plug if being used for EV charging. Now of course municipalities can lag a few years depending on where you live in adopting the latest NEC code, but there is a reason for the standard. An EV and a stove do not operate and use electricity in the same way, hence the specific code for EV chargers that are not hard wired.Less code regulations? It’s a stove plug.

Installing a dedicated 14-50 outlet is a ridiculous decision when the Tesla Wall Connector is available (and a 30% tax credit in the USA).
