Most typical use is electrical stove/range. For EV charges, you'd want to go with 6 guage if you can (and your panel allows it).

Highly recommended to over size wiring for EV charging.

And if not hard-wired, a quality 14-50R if going for 40A continuous - not the $10 things sold at the big box stores. $50+ Hubbell HBL9450A or equivalent for reliability.

Are you being serious right now? NEMA 14-50 runs at 220V. Two hot wires (each carrying 110V) and a ground are all you need for an EV charger. Neutral wire is only needed at 220V if your appliance does not have an internal step down transformer.

Good price but 8/3 is arguably one of the least useful combinations.
30A dryer or water heater circuits will usually be 10 AWG, and 50A stove or EV charging stations will be 6 AWG.
8/3 is rated for 40 amps which is in no man's land - there aren't any 40A standard receptacles. Typically in a residential applications you would see 8 AWG circuits for like a 4 ton AC compressor, a cooktop or in-wall oven, or a hardwired EV charging station. Of those, only the in-wall oven actually needs the 3rd (neutral) wire so most would use 8/2. Probably why this is on sale.

Can this be used for solar, DC connections? 2$ per feet for max 40A. Says indoor too. I forgot how much I paid for gauge 0 -- perhaps $5 per feet. Ouch.

Really you should do 4-gauge so you can do 50-amp continuous (48 amp charger).

I use #6 thhn

That would depend on whether you were going to hard wire your EVSE or going install an outlet for a plug in unit. Pretty much all of the plug in EVSE's need a neutral, so this 8/3 would be the correct choice.

Tesla does not use a neutral. Only ground.

Seems ok but not necessarily slick…

Shows up as $75 a roll for me. That seems pretty slick.

If you're running in conduit anyway, you can remove the outer insulator and the individual conductors are rated enough to do 60A for a 48A hard-wired EVSE.

You can't actually do that. The wires themselves outside of the insulator are not labeled and thus not to code. It's silly for what it's worth but that's code.

Going to pick one up for my dryer. I have been wanting to upgrade to a 4 prong outlet for a while.

Over a decade ( since 2014 ) of using the $10 nema14-50R's from the big box store with zero issues. Including homes, rv parks, …. etc. PS — they are closer to $25 now in store but are about $15 if purchased online from the same big box stores. They are certified and meet code.

Depends on what you're using it for. They're fine for intermittent use. The problem is with repeated longer duration use like charging an EV, which is exacerbated by using aluminium wiring that expands and contracts more and will short sooner. Just because something meets code doesn't mean it's fit for the purpose it'll be used for. Using a 50a socket for a few hours a year is completely different than using it for 10-20 hours a week.
The conventional wisdom is to use copper wiring, an industrial grade socket (eg Hubbell or similar), and check the wiring of the socket yearly and re-torque to make sure the wire isn't backing out.
