I have a Bosch EL-51253 Power Max 30 Amp Electric Vehicle Charging Station for my Ford plugin hybrid now. Will this work with the tesla model 3? Do I have to modify the charging plug or replace the whole thing?

Does the J1772 adapter come with the car or do I need to purchase one separately?
Two small benefits I can think of. One, assuming you have the wiring and breaker for it, is you can charge at 48 A (need a 60A breaker and appropriate wiring gauge). Two, the plug on the Wall Charger will open the charging door for you. Without it, you have to open it manually. Both pretty minor advantages. Oh, and three, it looks cooler.Thanks guys. Going to order an extra one. Any thoughts on replacing my Bosch charger with the Tesla Wall Charger? Any benefits in doing so?
I have both. The bosch is remnant from our BMW i3 ownership. We thought about using the wiring from the bosch, but wire gauge was too low to go from a 40 amp to 60 amp—so we kept the bosch and also have the HPWC. Bosch works great with J1772 but very slow for our model X (17 miles charge per hour vs 30 miles charge oer hour).Two small benefits I can think of.

I'm in the same situation, and I am planning to replace the charger with a HPWC, but my reason is that we're keeping the Leaf, so I want to run two wall chargers off the same breaker, and then use an adapter or modified plug to charge the Leaf on the Tesla charger instead of vice-versa.
In terms of amount of electricity you’re charging, here are the approximate numbersI use one at work. I get about 20 mph with it. HPWC with a 60A breaker gets me 45 mph.
In terms of amount of electricity you’re charging, here are the approximate numbers
Bosch gets you 6.6 kwh
HPWC gets you 10.5kwh (using 60amp breaker)
HPWC gets you 17kwh (using 100amp braker)
Yeah, if you charge with fewer volts and amps you will get less energy added. What’s your point?I'm only getting 20 mph with the Bosch I use at work. I get 45 mph at home with the HPWC.

Your work charging station is likely on a 208V circuit, and supplies 30A.
Your home HPWC is on a 240V circuit, and as you said supplies 48A on a 60A circuit.
You can do the math.
And my point is it’s probably because he is charging at a higher voltage at home than you do at work.My point is he's getting 28 mph from the same charger.
