Tesla Motors Club

Hello, I am a relatively new Tesla model three owner. Been in it about six months and love it so far. The first thing I did was install a NEMA 50 amp outlet in my garage and started using the mobile charger that came with the car. I believed that if I was patient and watched the for sale forums I’d surely be able to pick up a full blown wall connector for a good deal less than what they cost brand new. Boy was I wrong! Why is it that these items all seem to be for sale for sometimes hundreds of dollars more than a brand new one would cost it? It makes me think I may not understand some of the factors out there affecting price.

Why is someone going to buy a Gen II charger from bubba on CL for $800 when’s brand new Gen III charger is available, with support and a warranty and more features for $500? It can’t just be the length of the cable. Though I admit I might forgo was seems to be pointless WIFI capability for a six foot longer cable.

Confused.
