Tesla Wall Charger Wait Time?

[pbcsd]

I was going to wait for the Grizl-E Duo wall charger but it appears it won't be available in Canada for several months, and just got a notice that my Y is due now in March vs the June date I had in my app as of 2 weeks ago. So probably need to finalize a wall charger.

Seems the Tesla one is probably the best (and decently priced) option. So I added it to my cart, was about to click "order", but realized there is nothing that tells me whether they are in stock or if I'm just going to end up in some several month wait. Anyone order one recently?

If it does not have the out of stock flag (see attached photo) then is should be in stock. If you are really worried I would reach out to your local Tesla store and have them confirm stock levels.

Unless you are installing the wall charger outdoors, just get an outlet installed and use the mobile connector that comes with the car, get the nema 14-50 adapter, once you do get your wall connector just hook up a cable to it and plug it in. If anything goes wrong you just unplug it and use the mobile one, and its easy to replace without having to get an electrician to come in. Family comes to visit in their non tesla ev in the future, now you have a nice plug for them to use. No need to worry about the wall connector arriving late, unless you really need to charge your car 20% quicker because you don't sleep like the rest of us.

Is it really only 20% faster? How long is the cable that comes with the car?

I ordered one on Monday (24') and it's scheduled to be delivered this upcoming Monday (Dec 13). Not bad considering it's shipped from California

I thought about doing the plug and while it may be a more versatile option, I wanted to keep the UMC in my car and not have to keep plugging and unplugging when I go to work, etc.

I figured the cost of another UMC is about 350 plus the 14-50 adapter is about $400. Decided to just splurge and spend 300 more to get the nice Wall charger.

Maybe 30% faster at 48 amps, The one that comes with the car is 20 feet, but you only receive the nema 5-15 adapter, so you would need to buy the 14-50 adapter to get 32 amps

Was the wall connector always $700 or has that gone up recently?

When I ordered mine August 2020 it was 666.75$ after tax, not sure when the price changed. I have not looked at other EVSC prices but when I ordered mine last year it was the cheapest, not sure it that is still the true.

Along the same lines as Stokes. Ordered last Saturday, experienced a shipping delay by FedEx, but should be receiving it on Monday.

Price changed a week or 2 ago.
