We have 2 Model 3's & 2 HPWC's on a 100 amp circuit with load sharing. We had to add a subpanel because we were out of space so I had the electrician add a 14-50 as well just in case. In over a year, no problems with the HWPC's. I haven't even tested the 14-50... good reminder, I'll do so tomorrow.

Love the setup. Super convenient.

I just bought a second mobile connector and leave it plugged into my 14-50 in the driveway. At $300 it's cheaper than a wall connector and most EVSEs plus adapter, and you have the same convienence of a wall connector always available and functional charge port button. My original mobile connector never leaves the trunk. It's also a lot cheaper to ask an electrician to wire up a dryer outlet then a Tesla wall connector, especially if you can avoid the Tesla Tax

I bought a (actually two) used Gen 1 UMCs and they stay plugged in. They were even cheaper than a new Gen II UMC.
Turns out I don't need 40A charging for the Model 3. I have it turned down to 30.
