I'm giving some thought as to what to install for my future MY and am currently leaning towards the Wall connector. One of the reasons is I understand that an outlet install requires a GFCI breaker whereas the Wall connector does not.
I put together the following cost differential (Lowes prices). Seems like the Wall Connector would only be about 135.00 more expensive and offer a lot of flexibility and allow me to keep the supplied Tesla Mobile Connector in the trunk for charging elsewhere.
Am I missing something or is the WC really a no-brainer choice here?
Plan A:
500.00 Wall Connector
-150.00 Current 30% Fed credit
153.00 50ft 6/2 wire (Wall connector does not require neutral)
11.00 50a (or 60a) breaker
= 514.00
Plan B:
15.00 14-50R outlet and box
219.00 50ft 6/3 wire (14-50R requires neutral)
100.00 50a GFCI breaker
45.00 14-50 Tesla adapter cable
= 379.00
