For whatever reason I'm seeing inflated prices on ebay, and they're now showing up here, too. I don't understand the demand, as a 14-50 outlet does essentially the same thing. If I absolutely had to have one of these, I'd rather wait for Tesla to restock the newer gen wall connector before paying above retail.
Those points are more/less relevant to certain people. Newer Teslas can't charge at those rates, and most people won't need to for overnight charging. Cable length needed can vary by individual as well. Plenty of folks out there are using 8' connectors.
The new units also have a thinner and lighter cable. The wifi connectivity will allow for future updates, too. I'd get one at $500 before ever paying a premium for the older version.
But anyways, GLWS - It's a free market. If there are buyers at $1K, go for it!
The new Gen3 unit appears to be MUCH easier to install. The Gen 2 is a pain to get the wire into, and then a pain to get the wire tightened up properly. The Gen 3 unit, the connections are fully exposed when you are working on it, making it trivial to get it wired up correctly.

The premium is only relevant to those with dual chargers or unique installation requirements for the 24 ft. cord. The market might not be as large as you think, hence the reason it hasn't sold. Have you listed it on eBay?

Like it or not, that's about the market rate on Gen 2 HPWC right now. You don't have to like it but crapping on this guy's for sale thread isn't going to change it. If you want to discuss the inflated market rate of Gen 2 HPWC feel free to start a thread in the General Discussion subforum but this guy's for sale thread isn't this place for chit chat about the topic.
I had Gen 2 and recently upgraded to Gen3. Gen 3 is a lot lighter and it is a lot easier to install. The only difficulty is that it doesn't come pre-drilled so you have to drill your own hole. The cable is a lot thinner and lighter, making it much easier to move around. Gen 2 is a giant pig by comparison. While Gen2 could charge up to 80 amps, you won't be able to utilize it unless you have a Model S capable of such.
Apparently you didnt read the post above. This is ad for a charger for sale. Not a "chit chat" post on how the charger is better etc.
