NEMA 14-50 adapter no longer included with vehicles

[kaib]

I feel the same like you just got the car a month ago and with 800 miles today I charge at home 4m/hour anxiety cant get proper charging, that cable adapter is out of stock and no help from Tesla so I am too totally in regret I bought this car

It's effectively a stealth price increase, which is fine, but the adapter being out of stock is ridiculous. At this point, I'd buy the adapter first, and wait for it to arrive before buying a car!

So because of this, Tesla cannot seem to keep the Wall Charger in stock.

I have seen price-gouging as high as $800 on eBay

Hmm seems about time to gouge for my spare one... Thanks Elon?

Just check the parts for sale forums on this site for any charging kit you need. I have had no issue getting anything I have wanted on here. It is always less than Tesla and usually less than ebay.

If nothing else, pick up a Gen 1 wall connector and enjoy 40 amps of charge rate instead of only 32.

Guess I just got lucky. Tesla has the Silver Wall Charger 24' cable in stock. $500 + tax but Free shipping.

Had the charging cord stop working. Model S, 2017. Mobile service brought the last one at the SC. Tesla phone service told me they were out of them nationwide. Only problem is that there is now a "universal" charging cord that fits all models of Tesla. Before I could charge in my garage at 29MPH. New universal one charges at 23 mph and is of lower amps. At least it was covered under warranty.

Does anyone know if the wall connector is repairable? Mine starting showing intermittent faults and then failed completely with a solid red light. A ranger was at the house replacing the parking brake and I asked him to take a look. He said it was probably a failure in the electronics (the main board?) and I needed a new one. For expediency, I had a 14-50 installed and have been using my mobile connector.

I haven’t tossed the defective unit because I have a 24 ft cord and it seems such a huge waste. I keep dreaming that someone can diagnose and fix the problem so I don’t have to shell out another $500, even if I could find one.

Thanks!

Start with Rich. He had a failure and repaired it, may not be your failure, but simple enough if it is. The cord is certainly worth money, possibly to Quick Charge Power. Possibly to anyone who got a short cable HPWC but wants the long cable. It might even be worth it for me to buy if you don't have another home for it and the price is right.

You could also possibly replace the electronics with OpenEVSE parts. If you don't want to do the repair, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be happy to buy it from you and try.

I finally managed to complete an order for the 14-50 adapter (ordered 6-50 as well) but only when I checked out as a guest I wasn't able to do this while logged in to my account over 3 different browsers...

I know it changes all the time, but a gen2 14-50 is now available when I try to add it.

Alternative is a 6-50 and an adaptor.

Also it looks like you need 200 amps I only got 100 and it's an extra 4k to upgrade the board sigh I wish I never got this car

It's often not that cut and dried. In most cases SOME kind of 240v circuit can be added to a 100a panel. Talk with your electrician about a lower amperage circuit. Even a modest 240v 20a circuit (6-20 outlet) may be adequate for your daily driving needs. It delivers nearly triple the effective charging rate of a 120v circuit.

I could easily add a 14-30 to my 100A panel (since upgraded to 200A when I installed solar). I have an electric range and dryer, but no central A/C.
