How are you hanging your UMC charging cable? Post it!

if this real or photoshopped? Pretty cool.

Real. Unfortunately I don't have a full garage to park my car in and my driveway is narrow. Also, I park behind my wife since I leave first every morning. I installed a 240v outlet, outside of my garage and have a nema 15-40 (25') extension cord going down the side of my driveway. I have a few bushes on the side, so i used them to hold my cord. (I am truly green)

I had it easy. The laundry room is on the other side of the wall, and we use a gas dryer so there was an unused 30A circuit about three feet from where the charger is plugged in. Pull the dryer, install a junction box in the wall and extend the circuit through the garage wall.

The 10-30 outlet has "Top" marked on it, but I rotated it so the transformer doesn't hang upside down. I laser engraved the Tesla logo on the cover plate. I back the car in so it's an easy connection.
Yeah, it's a mess, but my shop constantly looks like a grenade went off in there. what does that say about me?

I have a referral UMC. Still in the box. 14 50 and 110.

I just wrap it around the wall charger. There's a place for it and the nozzle hooks in.

The way the Tesla light part is hanging it giving me anxiety. You can buy one of the hooks like mine.

What light part?

What light part?

This part where the Tesla lights up.

Nothing special but try to be compact:

UMC box held up by water bottle cage for bike.

Mine is a wall mount. It was installed on a beam by a Tesla energy electrician. I'm confused why that is causing anxiety?

We had the guys who installed the solar (that’s the corner of our inverter with the “warning” label) also install a 14-50 for us. It’s all right by the charge port on the car, so we only need about 3 feet of cable. So the bulk of the cable sits coiled up with our assorted extension cords. And we tuck the handle into a convenient bend of conduit.

This is not available in the online Tesla store.

We originally used the 14-50 plug. The water bottle holder held the dangling part. We eventually bought the HPWC.

I suspect it was just a joke due to the plug being out in your picture ?

I wondered about that. But since it pulls electricity when plugged with the green Tesla lights glowing even though it isn't plugged into my car, why throw the money away?

I think it is about 1W. So It will use 0.730 kWh per month. However if you had a lightning strike nearby, it would be safer to have it unplugged.

Not actually hanging, just coiled on the top of a plastic shelving unit. When not plugged in, the charging connector fits nicely into the opening in the top of the corner post, like a holster. One benefit of this setup is that the weight of the UMC and cord is fully supported by the shelf, rather than hanging off of the 14-50 receptacle.
