Tesla Wall Charger from Amazon
- Thread starter heavync
- Start date
Link?
I've always bought from Tesla, so I don't know. I mean, you could end up with some returned item when you buy from Amazon, right? Do you need it like tomorrow or something? I ordered a Wall Connector, faceplate and stand from Tesla a week ago and got them within 5 days.

If you buy from Tesla there is no question as to when the warranty starts. If you buy from Amazon just make sure you keep your purchase receipt.
If you are not in a rush and the price is the same, why not buy from Tesla?
Ships by Amazon, sold by Tesla, Inc.
If I’d have thought about it, I’d get a 5% discount if I bought from Amazon since I have their prime card.
Except, from this OPs link, its not only not "sold by" amazon, but also not "shipped by" amazon, so its some random person / company who has an amazon business selling it.
No guarantee of that, since the link you shared is not shipped from amazon, so its not prime shipping:

Im not (confident you can purchase from either and be fine). Amazon wont really protect you for goods not either sold by or shipped by them (I buy a decent amount of stuff yearly from amazon and will only buy stuff sold or shipped by amazon because of this).
If (for example) its damaged or used, any return would be through "Ranejatalt" at least if you purchase from the link you shared.
You asked what the difference is, and the main difference would be what happens if its not what you think it is, or it needs warranty, etc. If you purchase from a private party seller you are tacitly accepting those risks, but if you purchase this item, from this seller through amazon, you may not be aware that you are also accepting those risks, and "amazon" is not any different than buying this from ebay or etsy in this instance.

The seller has 30% 1 out of 5 stars. Instead of saving $6, it would be better to buy directly from Tesla.
That says:
Ships from RanejataIt
Sold by RanejataIt
It's not from Tesla. It's somebody reselling them.
Up to you if you want to save a few dollars, but I wouldn't buy from some random Amazon store when Tesla normally sells direct.

Thanks for explanation. One of the other links says “sold by Tesla, Inc”. Maybe that is better? Either way I appreciate the thorough response

Is there something you're gonna get from one seller that you won't get from the other? Don't say price. The reseller will save you a whopping six bucks.
Not at all. I’ll order from Tesla. I was just curious if there was a difference. If Amazon truly fulfills Tesla orders then it doesn’t matter. I believe they do but you and others bring up valid points.
If you are in a hurry for some reason, I would suggest looking at best buy, who carries these in stock in many locations (and likely some in iowa) rather than ordering it from amazon (and as I said, I buy a lot from amazon yearly, so dont have an aversion to amazon specifically).
I think we're all seeing something different... Amazon might be aggregating the listing for this item. When I visited it, it says "sold by Tesla, Inc", apparently other people are seeing something different.
That said, my opinion is that even if these *are* listed by Tesla, why feed the Amazon machine unnecessarily?
I'd rather give Tesla 100% of my purchase dollars for the charger than give a cut to Bezos. Add to that the peace of mind of knowing 100% that it's not some knock-off or refurb. Amazon is full of grey market goods.
