And that's not new, by the way. The Corded Mobile Connector with that fixed attached plug was sold for quite a while alongside the Gen1 UMC long before they made the Model 3 and made the Gen2 UMC.Gen1 UMC's could do 40 amps btw, and there's a new version of the UMC that is also 40 amp capable that does NOT have swappable pigtails(Its only 14-50)...

Rocky, are you considering getting a new Tesla At some point? Just curious.And that's not new, by the way. The Corded Mobile Connector with that fixed attached plug was sold for quite a while alongside the Gen1 UMC long before they made the Model 3 and made the Gen2 UMC.
But yes, as far as where limits are, it's a lowest common denominator thing, where each piece of equipment can have a limit. The Gen2 mobile charging cord that comes with the car will only allow up to 32A max. The wall connectors can handle 48A max. And as @mrau mentioned, depending on the model of car, it may have a 32A onboard charger for the smaller battery cars, or the 48A charger included in the bigger battery cars.
That needs a much longer answer that will be very off topic in this thread. I'll message you.Rocky, are you considering getting a new Tesla At some point? Just curious.
Thanks Rocky.That needs a much longer answer that will be very off topic in this thread. I'll message you.
So maybe someone can tell me if this makes sense, between a wall charger vs a 14-50 plug:
Wall charger - $500 + $40 parts
Nema plug - $35 adaptor+ 220 parts (GFCI breaker, nema 14-50 plug of industrial strength, wires, box) + $35 wall holder (optional I know)
With 30% tax credit the wall charger is : ~$380
The nema plug is ~290
Doesn't it make sense to go for the wall charger then.
Plus you get faster charging speed with the wall charger.So maybe someone can tell me if this makes sense, between a wall charger vs a 14-50 plug:

This sounds pretty good advice to me. I am also considering reading the IRS code for if 14-50 can be considered tax rebateable expense for EV Charging Infra (Alternative Fuels Data Center: Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit)If you already have a spare 14-50 or 14-30 outlet in your garage then just using that is a no brainer. My argument has always been if you are starting from scratch, it makes more sense to just get the wall connector. Plus see article below about 14-50 vs wall connector:
NEMA 14-50 Tesla Response | Seahurst Electric
Q: How does Tesla respond to NEMA 14-50 questions? A: While an existing NEMA 14-50 outlet will work to charge the car, you would need to purchase the $35 adapter from Tesla to make it work, they are not provided with the vehicle. Tesla does not recommend installing a new NEMA 14-50 outlet to...www.seahurst.com

That might change my math above to make the plug install slightly cheaper (30% off to 300*.7 = $210)
