PSEG is giving people $50 for just signing up. They sent me an email saying they mailed a check. So $500 for the charger and $50 for signing up and then time of use rewards.

Well if you have a 3d printer..
I printed this and then just double sided taped it to the wall. You can screw it to the wall also if you want. I made it 1% bigger it was to snug normal.
Tesla charger adapter holder for Model 3 trunk by jonco223
@P3dStealth People don't always have to have a 3D printer themselves. I think in a lot of cities there are local places where you can go to 3D print things. My local library has workshop sessions where you can use 3D printers they have there.
That's the built in cable holder. I use to just leave the adapter plugged in all the time and hang the cable up. Prob the easiest way to do it but you don't get to use the cool built in wall plug.

Hello I'm in Long Island too, I just installed a Chargepoint charger in my garage and I am picking up my first Tesla on Saturday. I purchased what I thought was the adapter to plug the Telsa into the Chargepoint unit but it actually looks like an adapter that goes into the 6-50
NEMA outlet.
I'm wondering if you can share what piece I need to purchase in order to connect my Tesla's charger to the Chargepoint unit?
thank you for your help!

where do you order the adapter from? I'm picking up my first Tesla on Sat and I installed the Chargepoint unit. thanks for your help
The J1772 adaptor is free - provided by Tesla - look in the bag the has the mobile charger. This adaptor fits on the end of the Chargepoint cable and allows you to plug into the Tesla power port.
These both work, but using the J1772 adapter is a pain when it's used on a daily basis. A NEMA 14-50 is really a better choice (assuming you don't want to spend $500 for the Tesla Wall Connector) unless you are charging non-Tesla cars as well.
You don't need anything. When you pick up the Tesla the adapter will be in the trunk for free. It's simple you just plug the adapter in and plug the car in.
He is on Long Island. PSEG gives him half off his electric if he uses a chargepoint or juice box.
It's also incredibly easy to use even with the adapter. You don't even have to remove it from the cable if you want. You can just hang the cable up with the adapter on.

It’s not a pain. I keep the included Tesla J1772 adapter in the drivers side door pocket. If I’m going to charge using my ChargePoint Home Flex at my house I just grab the adapter when I get out, attach it to the ChargePoint cable and plug it into the charge port on the Tesla. It becomes like muscle memory and isn’t really a big deal at all.
I bought juicebox and have been happy with it. I did need to install a mesh system so that the garage had better internet service. Most utilities require the charging units to be online so that the utility can track usage. Biggest advantage with juicebox is price - Costco sells the unit for a nice discount. The $500 rebate about pays for the unit.

We got the Juicebox from PSEG and it has been fine. We have the Tesla and a Prius Prime, so we wanted something that would work for both.

Exactly what I did. The only thing I have to be careful of is not forgetting my adapter at work, where I use it daily.
That reminds me of a time, before I got my Tesla, that I ran into a woman at the local mall, struggling to plug her LEAF into a public EVSE. Someone had left their J1772 to Tesla adapter in the plug. I removed it and solved her problem. I left it on top of the EVSE just in case the owner came back looking for it, but I didn't have a lot of hope.
I have a Juicebox 40 which I bought directly from PSEG for (I believe) about $125.- I use it to charge my model Y and my Taycan. The charging cable is long enough to reach inside the garage to charge the Taycan (the charge port is in the front) and on the driveway to charge the model Y (the charge port is in the back).
I keep the Tesla adapter on on top of the Juicebox so its ready when I need to charge the model Y. Since I only charge once a week, there is very little inconvenience.
