Help! Moving - Uninstall Tesla Wall Connector?

[Blissey2021]

Hi Everyone! I'll be moving soon and was hoping to save some money by taking the Wall Connector with me and having someone reinstall in my new space. Anyone have any experience with this? I initially wanted to uninstall myself but shockingly am unable to find any videos on how to do it (plus, I am pregnant so not sure if I should be trying this sort of risky work!)

1. If you've done it yourself, please let me know how (was it easy? hard?) or link me.
2. If you've paid someone to do it, how much was it and did they remove the entire line to the electrical box or just the charger itself?
3. If you've moved and left your connector and bought a new one, please let me know your thought process.

Appreciate any insight anyone can provide here!

If you gonna DIY, start by identifying and shutting off the breaker the TWC is connected to. then try the installation instructions in reverse order. There are also videos on the tube you can check out that can help you removing the TWC

If you didnt install it yourself, you shouldnt remove it yourself. If you decide to take it, you would be taking just the wall connector and its mounting plate. The rest of the electrical run is a part of the residence its attached to. You would also need to cap off the electrical cables safely.

If you dont have someone who is competent with electrical who will do this for you for free, you should leave it alone, or be prepared to pay at least an electricians trip charge to do this. Just spitballing a number, if you have to call someone to do it, its likely going to be $100 to $200.

I would install a NEMA receptacle rated for whatever amps the circuit is rated for in it's place unless you have already sold the house (or rent). Might be a good selling point.

If you’ve never dealt with 50 plus amp supply’s now is Not the time to DIY burning down the house to save 100$. This is not a house type outlet issue. Best make the call.

If it is a gen 3 Wall Connector, I would suggest just taking the Wall Connector off of the mounting base, and then buy a new mounting base to have installed at your new location.

It only costs $65 and includes all the hardware you would need:

Wall Connector Wirebox Kit

Replace your wirebox or keep this Wall Connector Wirebox Kit on hand when moving Gen 3 Wall Connector to a new location. Stay charged at home with a replacement wirebox only available from Tesla. Includes: 1x wirebox 2x external plugs (pre-installed) 1x hex bit (4mm) 1x zip tie 4x wall...
