(Some) adapters now available for purchase

Wow these adapters plus shipping are rather pricey. Has anyone made some sort of lock to keep thieves from stealing the adapter? Right now I don't think I can deal with charging my car to a 120 volt (if I have to) or NEMA 14-50 at an RV park unattended.

Because the 14-50 adapter really looks like it's part of the cord, most likely only another Telsa owner would know that it comes off. I doubt we'll get to the old Land-Rover gas cap situation: In a given area there are 50 Land-Rovers and 45 gas caps. The gas caps cost $45 in 1975, so say $350 today. No one buys them because they're expensive, so when their Land-Rover goes in for service the gas caps get shuffled around.

I would be more worried about someone stealing the entire UMC, that's a $500 bill.

Heard a rumor that the 14-30 adapter would be shipping "2/22". Not sure if that's just from the online store, or if I could contact a Tesla retail or service center to pick one up...

The charge port locks to the cable. The UMC isn't going anywhere.

Someone could cut it, if they were only after the copper.

I got one a few weeks ago from Tesla Canada Service, as well as a 10-30, so you should certainly find it easy in The Motherland.

no kidding, I was going to pull the trigger on a 6-50 but that shipping cost is ridiculous. If the service center can't get me one for closer to the 45 bucks I'll probably end up doing it, but I won't like it.

the service center ordered my net for the frunk to avoid the $15 shipping! They can probably do the same for the adapter also FYI
