Bigger goes into the new USB hub. Smaller goes to the existing 4pin power cable
0.75 qmm wires are also used by Tesla for the Power Connetion to the original USB hubsI used 0.75 qmm wires
Kind regards

Yes. But you're putting .75mm2 wires into terminals that are only rated for .35mm2 - .50mm2 - unless you changed parts....0.75 qmm wires are also used by Tesla for the Power Connetion to the original USB hubs
Given that 20awg is good for 10 amps of current.... and the adapter is is just a few inches long....
And please don't get me wrong I think it's great that others also build the adapters and sell them to interested Tesla drivers or build their own adapters. That's why there are such forums so that we can exchange ideas and help each other. Without the help in the German forum I would not have found the original connections yet and would still drive around with my self-made adapter
At the moment there is unfortunately a considerable delay in shipping from Germany to the USA. You build the adapters for the USA and I for Europe. It's great. Nobody is forced to buy from anyone, all the parts are listed. I just want to offer the possibility that everyone who wants an adapter can get one too

I just ordered my parts from Tesla. I only got the front hub (1522264-00-B) and rear hub/vent (1111072-00-E). Was $162 total.
Very easy process too, Tesla has upped there game as far as making it easy to get parts. I just called my local SC and on the automated system pressed 5 for parts department. Was answered immediately, gave him my VIN and the part #s I wanted and he placed the order. Was maybe 3 minutes total.
Also ordered the pieces for making the 2 adapter cables I'll need. Was $29.50 including tax/shipping.

very nice. Please know I'm very appreciative of the research you did! I hunted for that part.....I changed the parts and used the pins that are rated for .75 mm2 wires
These are the partnumbers for the .75 mm2 pins:
Harness side: 963730-1, TE Connectivity
Hub side: 12034046, Aptiv (formerly Delphi)
And this is a secondary lock for the connection on the hub side. It is not necessary, but the cables sit in the connector without wobbling when the lock is installed.

LOL - they canceled my appointment yet again. It really doesn't bother me that they are slow at delivering parts. But I think it is hilarious they're unable to figure out when the parts will arrive. I also think it's pretty funny how they word the notification. Hi, we're confirming your appointment is on <different date than what we said last time>.

They're optimistic about parts deliveries.... Took Tesla several weeks to get all the parts I needed in stock.
The first batch is going out in the mail today/tomorrow. Second batch of parts arrive tomorrow, and ship out starting Monday/Tuesday. MrRobertsScience on Etsy

Could you link to the correct crimping tool you ended up getting. Assuming we are using the same pins at least, below are what I ordered. Using 22awg wire.
Hub-side pins
Harness-side pins

I'm using the this crimping tool. $15.99. BTW, You posted about already paying $29.50 for parts to make 2 adapters, but I'll ship two adapters for less than that amount..... It's too late for you to do anything different, but I feel like that might be a cautionary tale to others. I know for me, I couldn't find my crimp tool because it had been 3+ years since I had used it.... It's fun having tools though! And you can do a decent approximation of good crimp with needle nose pliers and a bit of time.

Oh the first batch is going to the post office tonight.
Parts for the second batch arrive tomorrow - doing 25 adapters this time so I loaded etsy up with 25 adapters ;-} You can order now and second batch should ship on Monday.
