Better for what ?so is going with Tesla wall connecter better or Wall connecter with 15-40 plug is better?
I am a new owner and dont have the charging setup in the garage yet, as I am also going Solar with Tesla soon they offered Wall connecter for free but I have to pay $1000 for installation... so is going with Tesla wall connecter better or Wall connecter with 15-40 plug is better?
Most people who choose the plug version are do so because they want to self install and just plug it into an existing outlet. Since you're having it professionally installed, that wouldn't apply to you. Given your situation, I'd think the hard wired unit would be a pretty obvious choice. You'll still have your UMC for portable use. The plug version is limited to 40a charging. It has a lighter duty cable on it, which could be a plus for some people, but I consider a downside.I am a new owner and dont have the charging setup in the garage yet, as I am also going Solar with Tesla soon they offered Wall connecter for free but I have to pay $1000 for installation... so is going with Tesla wall connecter better or Wall connecter with 15-40 plug is better?
My personal opinion I am happy with the hard wired wall connector (more amps), and like a previous post said keep the mobile cord safely in the frunk with a few adapters to expand your possibilities on charging out in the wild.I am a new owner and dont have the charging setup in the garage yet, as I am also going Solar with Tesla soon they offered Wall connecter for free but I have to pay $1000 for installation... so is going with Tesla wall connecter better or Wall connecter with 15-40 plug is better?
Got mine today - it was a relative breeze to install (after a trip to Lowes to get drywall anchors). And works like a charm, and the extra cord length is great!
I was thinking the same thing, but not sure how long the wait is for another refresh of stock in the store. They seems to sell out quickly, so I'm thinking of getting the hardwired version and adding a 14-50 plug onto it. would love to know what's up with the very limited stock.Is the only difference between the hardwired and the one with the 14-50 plug just the AC cord/plug? With the proper AC wiring on the unit with the 14-50, could it handle 80A? I assume a cord and 14-50P connector could be installed on the unit sold for permanent mounting? it just would not be able to handle more that 40A.
The AC power appears to be feed from the back of the unit on the permanent install unit and comes out of the bottom on the 14-50 unit. The back plate is probably different between the two. The 24 foot cord between the 14-50 unit and the car plug might not handle 80A or even 48A? If a 14-50P was wired into the AC side on the permanent unit, it should work, just would not be as elegant; likewise, there may not be a way to set it to identify itself to the car that is can only handle 40A.I was thinking the same thing, but not sure how long the wait is for another refresh of stock in the store.

The link to these now goes to a 404 page. I looked at it the other day and it was listed, but out of stock. Are they discontinued?
