I added a pigtail to my wall connector to allow it to be plugged in to my 14-50. Was only like $25 in parts and didn't take too long to set up.

Unfortunately this is not allowed because the Tesla Wall Connector was not UL tested for the application. You will lose the listing by customizing. Many cities require charge stations to be tested by a national recognized test lab.
Yea, my point is that this is probably why Tesla ended up pulling this product in the first place.
It is far from established that this is true. I have no problem with recommending it.Unfortunately this is not allowed because the Tesla Wall Connector was not UL tested for the application.

Oh FFS I went to look for this and found it missing from the shop.
It made sense just to install a nema outlet and let my father in law charge with the gen 1 mobile connector as it did 40 amps.
Now that the charger was replaced on the X it doesn’t work with the gen 1 mobile connector.
Gen 2 from the Model 3 works but 32 amps is annoying him.
Guess it’s time for HPWC but now you need an electrician.

Can you provide a link to the pigtail you used?I added a pigtail to my wall connector to allow it to be plugged in to my 14-50. Was only like $25 in parts and didn't take too long to set up.

The Corded Mobile Connector works fine with the 3. We had one but sold it when we got our wall connectors installed.Does anybody happen to know why the Tesla shop shows this Corded Mobile Connector ONLY under the Model S and Mode X charging accessories menu? Should be also fine for Model 3. Probably just a web page configuration mistake?
I have a Standard Range Plus, which has onboard charger limited to 32A anyway. I am thinking I will purchase this $520 Corded Mobile Connector, rather than a second Gen 2 UMC because:
(1) Gen 2 Mobile Connector Bundle seems to be always out of stock.
(2) Corded MC theft while not connected to the car is a bit more risky or troublesome for the thief than UMC. My NEMA 14-50 has a padlock. So a thief must whack up the NEMA box badly, or cut the live 240 V side of the Corded MC. Whereas he can just pull the UMC adapter from the control thingy and walk away.
(3) The Corded MC looks a bit more weatherproof than the Gen 2 UMC, which I noticed can get some water inside where the adapter connects to the control thingy.
Any flaws in this setup for outdoors? Other options are (A) wait for $300 UMC to be back in stock, and place the control thingy inside a wall mounted metal enclosure (waterproof and some theft deterrence), or (B) just by the darn HPWC and a pigtail.
Also, if the Corded Mobile Connector is essentially a permanent install, should I add some strain relief, or just leave the control thingy hanging down from the NEMA 14-50 outlet as shown in the owner's manual cover picture?
BTW, some folks on this thread say this thing has 24 foot cord, but the web site now says 20 foot cord.

If you shop around, you can get a wall connector for a lot less than the corded mobile connector but then you might have to pay an electrician to install it. Of course if you are able to install a cord on the wall connector yourself, you could use your existing 14-50 outlet and save some $$$.

Considering the item was completely pulled from the website (not just showing as out of stock), I'm not sure we'll see this item pop up again.When was the last time these were in stock?

I just emailed Tesla to ask. Will report back what they say if they respond.
One thing I noticed is that the NEMA 5-15 adapter is listed as sold out right now on Tesla's store.
Hint: Think from Tesla's viewpoint where they ship it with every vehicle. The Gen2 UMC and J1172 adapter are also sold out too.That is kind of hilarious since it should be a near zero volume product since every UMC comes with one. The only reason you would need to buy that is if yours was lost/damaged/stolen.
