Questions about replacing an 18' wall connector with 24'

[jordanmerrick]

Hey all, first time poster here. Have had a Model 3 since September 2020 and we are expecting delivery of a Model Y tomorrow

I had an 18' Gen 3 wall connector installed at the start of the year. Our cable is just about long enough now that there's a 24' version I would really like to change it. If I bought the 24' version, could I just swap out the main unit without replacing the back plate that's wired up or do I have to replace everything all of it?

And if I do replace it, is there anything I should do with the old wall connector before I look to sell it?

Can’t answer your questions, but I’m glad to hear Tesla is now offering a 24’ cable on the newest wall connector. I recently moved and brought my Gen 2 wall connector with me rather than buying a Gen 3, in part because an 18’ cable would have been a little short.

Do you know you can install two Gen 3 Wall Connectors, and share the power to two cars?

With Power Sharing, you can allow up to six 3 Wall Connectors to share power and charge multiple vehicles at once. Learn how to set up and troubleshoot Power Sharing.

You could also just install a 14-50 Wall outlet and use the included charger to charge the other car @32 Amps?

I do, but a second wall connector or another 14-50 wall outlet isn't a solution for us. I'm just not looking to add another wall connector or outlet, instead only to replace this which would be the solution we need.

The back plates are the same, you can just swap on the new 24' version.

Anyways to just get an extension or swap it out with someone who may have a 24' cable they don't need?

I ended up buying a new wall connector, swapping them over, and am selling the old one.
