Weird given I ordered two days before you and also live in OC. What is going on with Tesla’s fulfillment and logistics!?!

Has anyone received the 14-50 wall connector yet?

Tesla makes it really hard to love them as a company...
An update...
Tesla has removed the product from their online shop. Unlike other products that are back ordered or temporarily sold out, Tesla didn’t leave the link on their shop page with the usual “Sold Out” banner. Instead, when visiting the page, you get a 404 error. I wonder if this means they’re not going to sell the product anymore...

This is just a guess but they might need to differentiate the packaging more and make the limitations of the corded wall connector more obvious. Last year, many people incorrectly received the corded wall connector when they were trying to order the regular hard-wired version. At the time, the packaging was identical, leading to the wrong product being shipped out. Also, the corded version is limited to 40 amps. Some who accidentally received the corded version might've tried to remove the cable and use it as a hard-wired version. The cabling on this version is much thinner so you can't (or shouldn't) attempt to use it above 40 amps. Also at the time, the devices were sent out with the wrong settings so the sealed "plug and play" wall connectors wouldn't work unless they were opened and a dip switch setting was changed.
While it was probably quick and easy to add a plug and start selling this as another product, I think they should differentiate them better. Perhaps change the packaging to avoid shipping the wrong item. Alter the outer shell to make it obvious it is a different/limited version of the product so buyers/installers can instantly know the product limitations. Update the website to indicate when corded vs. hard-wired should be ordered to prevent buyer confusion and ordering the wrong product. Charge different prices so that buyers can tell the products are different and aren't direct replacements for each other.
Then again, maybe it is just a website error and the exact product will show back up in a few days.

This wouldn't surprise me in the least. My 14-50 wall charger came in the exact same box as the wired charger, the only thing that differentiated it was a fairly cryptic sticker on the side.
Not so - with getting my mats, the label was created literally a week before it was dropped off to the carrier. I’ll believe it once the status says “In transit”

My friend never got his and likely never will. Even though I verified that upgrading AWD to a performance using my friends referral code would count for him, I am now told that it did not, and that it did not qualify me for Free Supercharging either, although they did give that to me. Been fighting with tesla about it but there's nothing I can do.
In my account, for my one referral I try to claim my free hat and all I get is a spinning wheel.

I bought mine on Craigslist, for $425.
And it was the special Ed. Elon Musk matte black, the one you can only get by referral. Decided to just save about $100 and get an upgraded version at the same time.

This thread is about the 14-50 wall connector sold through the Tesla shop and not the referral award connector...
