I might take a guess that the outlet is a Leviton brand then? Those are pretty cheap and badly built, which may explain it getting pretty hot. I would recommend switching that out to a better brand, like Hubbell, Cooper, or Bryant. I confess that mine is a Leviton that I haven't gotten around to changing out yet, but I keep the amps down at 31, so I don't run it hot.The 14-50 plug gets quite hot though. Personally, I prefer hard wiring circuits that draw high current for hours.
Unfortunately yes, it kind of does. 50 amp outlet types are no joke, and all others are much better than the crummy Leviton kind.My Levitron is $10.45 on Amazon, the Cooper is $69.95! Does that sound right?
That is one of the things that is bad about the Leviton is that the attach points are not as good in how they clamp the wire, as well as them using flathead screws, which are harder to get tight enough. Some of the other brands use hex wrench screws, so you can really tighten them down hard, which they need for the high amps that have to flow through those connections.I run a chargepoint charger at 40amps with a $10 14-50 outlet and it doesn't get hot at all. You might have a wire screw that needs tightening inside.

And at some point, some day, I may take my own advice too.I'm glad I took Rocky's advice and now have a higher quality outlet.
If there are no switch settings or other setup options such as an app to confirm that the Juicebox is configured for use on a 50A circuit then the Juicebox 40 is defective.Hey I just bought a juice non networked Jukebox 40 amp. Used it last night first time to charge my loaner; the car would only charge at 19amps. I just plugged my model Y into it and would also only charge at 19 amps. Swapped it to my mobile connector plugged into the same NEMA 14-50 outlet charging at 32amps. Any ideas?
The one I bought is non Wi-Fi.Yes, you can set the Juicebox's maximum charging current in the app or the web page.
Thanks for the input.If there are no switch settings or other setup options such as an app to confirm that the Juicebox is configured for use on a 50A circuit then the Juicebox 40 is defective.
Also, FYI, the Tesla Corded Mobile Connector that enables charging at 40A, as recently as this week, was again available from the Tesla store. (Currently shows as Out of Stock but hopefully more will be available soon.)
Corded Mobile Connector
No. I can get 40 amps from my juicebox and the Tesla adapter on my 2020 MY.Thanks for the input.
The person I bought the Juicebox from said he had not problems with it charging a BMW for whatever that is worth.
I read on Tesla’s website that the j1772 adapter limits charging to 19 amps, does that sound right?

The Tesla SAE J1772 adapter enables charging the Tesla vehicle at up to 19.2kW (not 19 amps). 19.2kW is the equivalent of charging at 240 Volts and 80 amps.Thanks for the input.
