Nema 14-50 vs Tesla Wall Charger - 2 cars

[pgcoco]

Today I was doing some research on the chargers that I need for my new Tesla MY that we ordered and not sure what to buy. The NEMA 14-50 charger charges at a great speed and is cheaper as compared to the Tesla wall charger, so its no brainer that one should buy that one and save money. But we have plans to get another Tesla next year and were wondering if we should get Tesla Wall Charger so that we can speed up the charging for both cars? Folks who have more than one Tesla, how do you charge your cars? Can 2 NEMA chargers be installed in the same garage or should I consider getting the wall charger and charge one car at a time? Not sure which option is best?

We are having 2 Juicebox units installed that will load share and use a 50amp circuit. They get installed next week.....but awaiting the second electric vehicle (February?) so won't test out charging two at once until then.

to my understanding, if you use Juicebox, you will use the converter for tesla, right?

Depends on your driving habits. My partner has a M3LR and I have a MYLR. I usually drive the MY and she doesn't really need to drive, so we don't have a lot of charging needs.
