I'm having the same dilemma. Tesla guy said it wasn't good to leave car connected every day at all... which is exactly what I was thinking of doing, since my wife drives from 0 to 20 miles a day on average. He said to always let the battery get discharged to about 30% (not lower than 20%), before charging it back to 90%. And that'd take like 2 days at 115V.
I'm open to suggestions for the cheapest way to solve the issue. My house is 2 years old, and with only 1 dual 115V outlet in the garage. The breaker box is on a corner of the garage (outside), so probably the easiest way would be to drill the wall and install an outlet right by the box but on the inside... but it'd be on the other side of the EV, so I'd need a long cable, like the 18' one from the wall charger, but $500 on top of installation? How long is the cable that comes with the car to hook up to a NEMA 14-50 adapter? Does the 115V cable from the car come with a regular 115V outlet, or it has to be a NEMA 14-50, like 240V dryers? All help appreciated . My wife wants a Tesla, and now that a dealer is opening next week, will probably buy her the 2021 M3 LR she wants, but need to sort this mess. By the way, the only supercharger in town is 2 miles from our house, so we'd have that option too. Not sure if it's 75kW, 150, or both (would have to investigate). Thx.
Gen 2 Mobile Connector Bundle says the unit that comes with the car has a 20 foot cord. It also shows you exactly the items that come with the car, regarding the UMC anyway(the car comes with the j1772 adapter as well)
Gen 2 NEMA Adapters shows you the $35 adapters that are available from Tesla, and also the charge speeds you'd get from them. Note that the only one you might be interested in initially is 5-20, if your outlets are already 20 amp.
