NEMA 10-30 to 14-30 adaptor

[zqz51911]

I have an older dryer outlet Nema 10-30 at home, however, the Nema 10-30 UMC adaptor has been out of stock for months. I bet Tesla just abandon it and stop producing anymore. Can I just buy a 10-30 to 14-30 adaptor and use the UMC 14-30 cord?

Just get the right adapter from evseadapters:

NEMA 10-30 Adapter for Tesla Model S/X/3/Y Gen 2 – EVSE Adapters

Every connection in a chain is going to add resistance and failure points, and if you use the adapter you've linked to, the UMC won't be able to monitor plug temperature.

In the same situation as well but those adapters require you to plug that ground wire into an outlet or something. Seems scary or prone to failure to me.

There is a dryer outlet splitter you can get from SplitVolt / Amazon that comes with a 10-30 and a 14-50 outlet. The only issue with this is that you will have to limit your charging from the Tesla to 24amp since thats the max the 10-30 outlet would support.

I have also read somewhere that you could order the 10-30 cable directly from a Tesla Service Center. I’d recommend giving that a shot.

Consider changing to 14-30 if you can.

Thanks! I also got the alert from Tesla Shop as well and ordered the 10-30.

Wow. I just checked the Tesla Shop for the 10-30 NEMA adapter and it returns as "out of stock" again.

definitely recommend that you sign up for the in stock alerts on the site. It actually works, lol.

No need, I already have my 10-30. I was just checking to see if they were still in stock. I was wondering if they ordered/made enough.

I bet there is a scalper buying it and remake to theirs and sell for a double price, as EVSEadputper sell it for $69 which is the double price of the tesla. They have to buy it from Telsa because without the chip inside, the UMC won't recognize the adaptor.
