The all use the same wall connector (HPWC) but Tesla still hasn't updated the site to indicate the UMC is the same for all three models.
I've got that cable also, as well as a TT-30 and a 10-30 (when Tesla didn't offer the 10-30). Love their quality!Maybe it works like the TurboCord which has a 5-15 that can attach an adapter to allow 240 volt charging? Perhaps the 14-50 adapter (in the top corner of the bag) plugs into the 5-15?

Or maybe it's the other way around and that's really a modified 14-50 plug with one pin removed to allow it to fit in 14--30 outlets as well. That could be hardwired and the 5-15 adapter would be added to that?
I have this extension cord from EVSE Adapters that allows you to plug into 14-50, 14-60 and 14-30 outlets. Yes, you'd have to adjust the amps accordingly.
Also, it's hard to tell but it looks from that picture like the plug might detach directly from the UMC. The way it is sitting in the wrapped up cable, it doesn't look like the cable is attached on one end.
I'm sure we'll be hearing more in the next 4-6 weeks when they start delivering the Model 3 to early non-employee buyers. I'm sure it would work with the S & X but from the image above, I doubt it would work with existing UMC adapters. If it has a 'universal' plug as I speculated above, you might not need a 14-30 adapter anymore.
Yeah, when I first saw the picture, I thought it could be pigtails (which I speculated might connect directly to the UMC) but couldn't figure out what some of those other parts are in the first image. The plug/cable on the right looks like a pigtail...but the other plug (?) at the top left looks different. Also, it looks like there is something at the top right under the pigtail that isn't connected to the charging wand.
Interesting... about the only downside is for those that have a major collection of the old style... and that the pigtails take up more room.
I started to collect as many of the old UMC adapters as I could before I even had my car. At one time, I had 5-20, 10-30 and 14-30 as well as a 6-50 pigtail. I sold the 10-30 and 14-30 adapters and replaced the 6-50 pigtail with a 6-50 UMC adapter so now I just have 5-15, 5-20, 6-50 (for use at my brother's) and 14-50. Thanks to the expansion of the Supercharger network, I really don't worry about charging at most locations anymore. I have gone on 1000 mile trips on the Supercharger network and not even had my UMC with me. I did take the UMC on a trip last week but only because I needed to test out a 14-50 outlet that my father paid way too much to install. I actually asked him not to install one since there are Superchargers on I-80 east and west of the town he lives in.
No. The bag is different. The plug is different. There are additional adapters/plugs which appear in the bag above (including a J1772 which wouldn't be part of the UMC) which aren't included with the Corded Mobile Connector.
Basically that looks like the design of the European UMC since forever... though it is possible the end piece plugs directly into the "box", not onto a connector on the cable...
The rightmost is the similar cable end on the Euro UMC...
