I just received a whole new UMC via Fedex as well. It seems like this is a Canadian thing.
I guess I have a spare now!
Did you not get a letter requesting return of the old one? What if they charge you for it?
Well, it's confirmed, they gave me the new adapter with my car
It has also been confirmed that new UMC's can charge at 40A using older adaptors.
I doubt they'll willingly sell me one, but I may try when I dip down to the US next month.Why not just buy the US adapter? It's not really an "older" adapter, just a different part number:
TESLA PN: 1014324-00-E (US)
TESLA PN: 1059530-00-A (Canada)
Tesla Accessories and Charging Adapters NEMA 14-50
I doubt they'll willingly sell me one, but I may try when I dip down to the US next month.
I agree, and from some of @FlasherZ's postings on the subject, the same 40 amp wiring is permitted in the US too, so I wonder why it's being made out as a "Canadian" thing?
However, it is NOT legal to connect the Tesla UMC to a NEMA 14-50 that is connected to a 40A breaker, because regardless of your ability as a user to control the charging current, the device is rated as a 40A continuous load which requires 50A circuit rating.
I wonder if some Canadian inspection authority, like the ESA in Ontario came across this issue of 50 amp UMCs being connected to 40 amp stove setups and issued some sort of bulletin or directive?
Mike, I checked with a colleague, who works at ESA, with all of the inspectors. (He is a trainer) He made inquiries, and came up empty handed. Snippets from his responses are in some of my previous posts in this thread.
I couldn't see anything either, but it might have come out of another province. Something must have happened for this to be an issue being pushed through here in Canada.
This has been my guess all along, the internals of the UMC probably couldn't pass muster at 40A, so instead of fixing that, they just dropped the input down to 32ASo they probably decided to release a version with safety certification, and they ended up backing down the power to do it.
