It is rated for outdoor use.I don't know if the HPWC is rated for outdoor use, but the Tesla destination charger they are getting hotels and such to install looks a lot like an HPWC and many of those are outside.

The Tesla website says the wall charging unit is rated for outdoor use. I am considering purchasing one, but it would be mounted outdoors in a dusty environment. I assume it would be good practice to clean the part that plugs into the vehicle often?
Is the UMC also rated for outdoor use? It does not say on the website. I don't want to have my car plugged in outside and a rainstorm ruins the unit.
I'm basically looking for real life scenarios on how people charge their car. I've seen some nifty setups with suspended charging cables in the garage, but I don't currently have a garage.

And who can tell me something about the battery heating system, to keep it warmed up overnight in sub-freezing winter weather? I presume the battery has an internal heating system that draws power from itself and circulated heat through the whole battery pack?
And this amount of heat can be regulated through the smartphone app or touch screen in the car?
Set the timer so that the charge finished about the time you start to drive. About thirty minutes before driving start the preconditioning from the app. The cabin temperature can be set from the App. Preconditioning draws power from the wall when the car is plugged in.And who can tell me something about the battery heating system, to keep it warmed up overnight in sub-freezing winter weather?

This is exactly along the lines of what I was thinking, but I doubt we're gonna find any gaps. This would not be good for rain and you'd more than likely have to modify the trunk yourself. Not looking forward to beating up my new car so soon!One thing I am thinking of doing with my Model 3 when I get it is running a long, heavy duty, possibly custom made extension cord from my apartment, 30-40 feet to the car, and have the cord go into the trunk which stays LOCKED. Only problem is that I need a gap somewhere large enough to run the extension cord IN and the charging cable OUT to plug into the side of the car.
And it needs to be easily accessible enough to be convenient and no more than a 30 second disruption to unplug everything when I am coming out of the apartment on my way to work. Open trunk, 2 unplugs, close trunk, hang the extension cord up on a hanger on the side of my apartment, go.
Over here on the other side of the state, my rates are 'massively' cheaper than yours at $0.06/KWh It is one of the advantages of our area. That and the lack of sales tax on EVs up to $35kHere in Washington State the abundance of hydroelectric gives us rates averaging $0.08/KWh. I pay just a tiny fraction of a cent more than that. A friend of my SO pays $0.07/KWh. It may be a contributing factor to Washington being one of the highest EV adopting states (per capita).
I got the $2,500 from this How ordering works^ Not sure where you are getting the extra $2500. It is possible I missed it, though.
But generally, yes, whatever money you have put down to reserve the car will be taken off the final price.
The first $32k is sales tax exempt - not $35k. Until the law was modified earlier this year, an EV up to $35k was tax free ($35k+ full tax rate). When they updated it, cars (base MSRP) $35,000-$42,500 now qualify for no tax on the first $32,000.Over here on the other side of the state, my rates are 'massively' cheaper than yours at $0.06/KWh It is one of the advantages of our area.

That's just for ordering an S/X. It's like a down payment to get your car built.I got the $2,500 from this How ordering works
