I got the 32 AMP AxFast from costco. The long cord is awesome.What charger did you end up with?
Thanks for your perspective. If I leave my mobile charger at home, do you recommend any certain adapters to keep in the car in the event a supercharger isn’t available on the road?
Why do you need the wall unit? Can’t you just use the 14-50 adapter with the mobile connector?I got the 32 AMP AxFast from costco. The long cord is awesome.
OK, I see now. Thanks for reply. So basically you’re using third party connector instead of the Tesla wall connector. I can see some upsides to this - easy to remove if you’re moving, connects to other cars, cheaper. Downsides - it’s slower. Do you lose any options or functions by not using the Tesla Wall Connectot? I haven’t taken delivery of Model Y yet and am trying to figure this out. We really want to move in 1-2 years.Yes if you want to take it out of the car and put it back in every night. I wanted to have a second unit, also one that can charge any EV we purchase in the future. And the Tesla cord is much shorter. Thanks
It’s technically slower, but I don’t need it to be faster than the 31 miles per hour I get at 32 amps. I can also take this with me as easy as a mobile charger as it’s technically mobile too as it issues the 14-50 plug.OK, I see now. Thanks for reply.

The Tesla Gen3 Wall Connector will eventually be able to support multiple Wall Connector units wired to a single 240V circuit. This feature has not yet been delivered. The reason you would want to do this is to share a single 240V circuit while charging 2 vehicles (the load will automatically be balanced.) The Gen3 Wall Connector has built-in Wi-Fi capability, can support charge back billing to the user's Tesla account. This would be attractive to some property managers, bed'n breakfast inns, hotels, etc.OK, I see now. Thanks for reply.

Just to add a little more insight the J1772 standard is 80 amp capable. A Tesla wall connector is not automatically faster. The limiting factor on charging speed for the most part is the power supply you intend to connect and or plug your evse into and subsequently the evse power acceptance and delivery capabilities.
Aside from the other advantages that have been stated already a solid 80 amp J1772 solution can charge "any" EV including a Tesla with the J1772 adapter.
No. There is a 60A plug/receptacle (NEMA 14-60) but it is uncommon, only used by 1 manufacturer of electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) - what most people refer to as the charger. With rare exception any 240V circuit rated at more than 50A is going to be hard wired.Are there 80 amp plugs I could put in my garage? (Not me, an electrician)
No, I think that is actually part of electric code--that outlets only go up to 60A. Anything above that must be hard wired.Are there 80 amp plugs I could put in my garage? (Not me, an electrician)
Exactly why I did what I did (and explained above). Also, I can charge Ford's, Volvo's, etc. in the future.Unless and until Tesla offers a charging connector (wall or mobile) that has a charging cord of 24 or more feet in length they won't get my business. I have yet to try the Mobile Connector that came with my MY. I should really find out if it works.) I did purchase a second J1772 adapter because I use the one that came with the MY at home and I wanted to keep a second adapter in the vehicle.
That can also be achieved by using e.g. the Lectron Tesla to J1772 adapter.Also, I can charge Ford's, Volvo's, etc. in the future.
Totally. I originally had a UMC and a “jesla” (UMC terminating in j1772 and extended cable length) for a non-Tesla EV, next setup will be two Wall connectors daisy chained to 60A and I’ll get a JDapter, Lectron or equivalent if I ever get a different EV (Rivian R1S?).That can also be achieved by using e.g. the Lectron Tesla to J1772 adapter.
