Tesla wall charger with plug?

[Jones0812]

I am thinking about setting up an outlet 240v outside my house to charge with the mobile charge cable.

I might get a Tesla wall charger down the road.

Do they make one with a plug? or should I just buy a whip and connect it and plug it in.

I think I will be installing a 50 amp outlet 14-50.

Will I be loosing charging capability this way instead of hard wiring the wall charger?

Or will it not matter since I think the M3 has a 32 amp limit

Tesla used to offer a Wall Connector (it's not a charger - that is in the car) with a NEMA 14-50 plug. But that has been discontinued.

I checked the For Sale forum and didn't see any.

Not anymore. You can buy a range/dryer replacement power cord and install it in a HPWC. Just make sure it’s rated for 50A and not 30A.

If you stick with an SR+, then it won’t matter. Even if you went with an LR or Performance, you’ll only lose 8A of capacity. (40A instead of 48A)

14-50 or Tesla Charger

This particular item is no longer available but there are plenty of equivs. This is what I used to wire up my HPWC into a 14-50:

Here are the connectors currently available:

• Gen 2 Mobile Connector Bundle - This is what (currently) comes with all new cars, and includes the NEMA 5-15 (120V) adapter (and a bag). The unit has a maximum output of 32 amps, but the adapter limits that down: from as low as 12A max on 120V up to 32A max on a 45-50 or 6-50
• Corded Mobile Connector - this has a NEMA 14-50 hard-wired on and is capable up to 40A if your car can take it (SR & SR+ are limited to 32A). This item is currently (and frequently) unavailable
• Wall Connector - Hard wired to your house (or whatever). Can do up to 48A
• Wall Connector with NEMA 14-50 plug - obsolete

I believe a standard mobile connecter is 32 amps. The max a 14-50 can provide is 40 amps so guessing if it’s advertized as faster charging that’s probably it.

Yeah - I was having problems with that post. My original reply had something that was being interpreted as bad SQL code and was rejecting it. Took me several attempts to find the problem and complete it.
