Nobody charges 0% or 10% to full every night. I only did that 2 times in the last 5 years. All other times we just need to top up 30-50% of the battery.
Yes. 5-15 is the standard household receptacle.
I'm not seeing anywhere that it's UL listed / safety certified. That doesn't mean that it's unsafe, but if you're planning on using it for regular charging I'd recommend spending more for an EVSE / EV charger that is. Saving money is great, but these things use a lot of power and cheap ones can melt or even burn down a house.
Check out the YouTube channel State of Charge for videos that discuss the risk and review level 1-2 EVSE / EV Chargers.

The wall charger option that's not on sale does list a UL certified, but the mobile charger does not. That doesn't sound goos for safety.

Yea I think for my Tesla I would rather get the Mobile Connector from Tesla for $250 which will charge the same or better than this and have the peace of mind knowing it wont burn my house down. Is it really worth it to skimp on such a thing?

Will this fit the Dryer plug? Or will i have to install a new outlet to use the Level 2 charging?
This Charger uses a Nema 14-50. If you have a 50AMP dryer plug then yes. However most dryers are 30 AMP.

Please do not plug this or any EV charger into your dryer outlet. It may cause a fire. Household dryer outlet are not intended to be pulling 30+ amps for 8 continuous hours a day. Install a new outlet and use a commercial graded outlet from Hubbell or Bryant.

What's the advertising of the weather proof bag and lack of wording for it, I assume that the unit itself is not water and can't be left attached to a home?

I believe my electrician installed a 220v 16amp outlet. Would this device work even though it's 23 amps?

This adds 7kWh per hour and 20-80% charging for long range Model Y/3 which have 80kWh batteries needs 7 hours. 48A charger adds 11.4 kWh per hour.

Diff ppl has diff use case..
I drive about 180 miles a day for commute + chores, and I use 48 amp charger to benefit shorter charge time during off peak. Got plenty of solar left over so not interested in spending any money at lvl 3 charger.

See above comment about burning your house down with dryer outlet. This pulls 32A at level 2 and only seems to have an adapter for 50A plug

I have a Tesla and have been shopping around for a used mobile connector with an 14-50 adapter..

This price is great, is this a reliable and convenient option for me though?

Reliable yes, convenient no. If you're using an adapter and not the official Tesla charger, you have to manually unlock the charge port either in car or on the app before you can stop charging. If it was the Tesla wand, you just press the small button and it's all automatic. Not a huge deal but a minor annoyance for sure.

The item description specifically says you can customize the output from 8 to 32A. Also, lots of EVs you can set the max current for charging.

Won't the breaker trip if you try to pull more than 30 amps?

It's safe to pull 24A off a dryer outlet. The charge adapter just needs to support that. The Tesla mobile adapter will do that, although you have to order an extra 10-30 adapter if you need one of those.

It will charge the same. The current Tesla UMC maxes out at 32A, like this Deco deal. This means that, although both the Tesla UMC and Deco are plugged into a 50A outlet, it will only pull 32A max.

Ehhhhhh.. doesn't seem too bad to be honest. It'd probably be related to house wiring than the charger for any issues.

The Tesla app and the car can set its own amperage. I use a 32A dryer outlet and just tell the car to pull 24A and have never had an issue.

Teslas also remember the amperage at their location so it always only ever tries to pull 24A at the house and never more than that.
