WTB: NEMA 14-50 Adapter for Gen 2 Mobile Charger - Montreal

[thomaspage]

Just picked up our model 3 and the 14-50 adapters are out of stock online. Is there anyone in Montreal who would like to sell me theirs?

Just ask to be notified when they are back in stock. It won't take long before they are back in stock. They email you and then you can order one. Takes about 10 days to arrive.

Thanks, I already signed up for the email but I had no idea how long it would take. Guess I’ll just charge super slow for now lol

Thomas, how long did it take Tesla from the day you signed up to get you the adapter, if they ever did? Or did you end up getting from another source?

 

[thomaspage]

It ended up just being a couple days after if I remember correctly, I was fretting for nothing

Thanks, I called few dealers and got lucky with one that was 30 mil drive.

...14-50 adapters are out of stock...

If you are planning to eventually get a second, dedicated home charging cable (in addition to the Gen 2 Mobile Connector that comes with the car), you might consider what's called a Tesla "Corded Mobile Connector." Maybe you already know about them?

They were offered by Tesla on the website, have a permanent NEMA 14-50 plug end, and charge at a slightly higher rate (40 amps as opposed to 32 amps) than the Gen 2 Mobile Connector.

As of last year when still available new, they were expensive ($520 US from Tesla), but now you might be able to find a used one for less. Check with the usual suspects (Craig's List, eBay, the FS posts here, etc.). Not everyone is trying to strike it rich. (I just scored a complete, brand new Mobile Connector Bundle [w/bag, J1772 adapter, cord, and 5-15 and 14-50 adapters] for only $225 US.) Bargains can be found if you look.

Can someone there in town loan you a 14-50 while you look? (Sorry I am too far away.) Good luck.

PS -- Yes, Tesla will promptly respond if you ask to be notified when an item is back in stock. The NEMA 14-50 plug adapter is a very popular accessory and should be back in stock soon, I am thinking. There are several on eBay right now, but prices are on the high side (>>>$35). Check local CL listings. Sometimes CL sellers will ship, so expand your search in Canada and US.
