Didn't get that far as I thought I'd have to return it. Maybe I'll open it up tonight and see what it looks like. If the insides are like the outsides, I think I'll be impressed.Hah! What do the insides look like??

Some people do install 14-50 plugs on their wall connectors as it allows them to use their existing wiring.So interesting enough - I bought a Wall Connector off of eBay - supposed to be Gen 2. When I received it and went to install, I was pretty confused - the wall connector had a NEMA 14-50 plug on it. Also the manual didn't match the old or new manuals online, and my local service center couldn't match/verify the part # on the manual.
Got a full refund via eBay, but no return necessary. So, will be buying a real wall connector direct from Tesla this time, but I still have this apparently "fake" wall connector. Looks damn good for fake, has all parts, side slot for connector, etc. Think it's safe to use? I don't especially want to be the guinea-pig.
If someone wants, it's yours if you pickup or pay shipping! LOL.

Dang, beat me to it. Would be perfect for me at my lake house where I just have a NEMA that is in a bad spot.The front panel on my HPWC doesn't work.. so if it's genuine Gen 1, I'll take it for shipping just to see if I can swap front panels. thanks.
Yes, I did that.

Sounds like you should probably bring this to Tesla's attention.Yup. Hence my original post where I declined to plug it in to see if it worked. Maybe someone much more electrically savvy than me could pop it open and see if its legit.

Could this be a new product not yet available on their online store? Perhaps it's a new product that people with 14-50 outlets could easily replace their UMC with. Either way, I'm sure they be interested in hearing about it.
It seems like a lot of work to counterfeit to be honest, but it also makes zero sense to buy a genuine wall charger, modify it to add a nema plug, create a new user manual, copy the packaging, etc.
It's baffling to be honest. Here's a picture of the manual. They must be selling 100s of these for this to make sense. Perhaps the seller on eBay (live.love1 FYI) has a connection with a factory making these for Tesla and had this modification put in to differentiate slightly? It's also telling the refund was INSTANT. I mean, I sent in the message saying item not as described and instant refund from Seller.
Interesting. I could see them not being too concerned if it was used but for it to be marketed as new with a manual like that, I would think they would be very concerned.Spoke to the wall connector team just now. They confirmed what the parts thought - never sold by Tesla. No record of it anywhere. Didn't seem to care one way or another. Figured it was modified.
