For those wishing to hardwire, there isn't really an easy conversion as there is no good way to anchor this box to the wall without some modification to the box. The internals are mostly straightforward, except that there is an inductive sensor through which the incoming power lines are threaded and they are effectively too tight to remove (or, more importantly, replace). I suspect that the factory hardwire pigtail comes with the wires in the sensor.
Anyway, if someone out there is curious, I took mine apart to see what's inside since the worst I could do is lose $100. You'll note that the center tapped neutral from the plug is just cut clean off at the entry grommet. There are two incoming power screw lugs (and two outgoing to the EV connector), plus a common ground screw terminal. Be forewarned, the incoming box knock out is slightly smaller than a standard 1" - just small enough that a standard 1" Service Entrance connector will not fit. It looks like there's a hole at the back of the case for a rear-entry knockout, but it's too close to the main box knockout to properly use it, and even if it was, the mounting bracket covers this up and the process of mounting makes its use impossible.
All this to say that you really should have a NEMA 14/50A outlet for this.
lol have you looked at the complaints about the roughly 200k units installed. "my car cought fire in the drive way". Explain how an evse can even do that, ill wait. "it caused an explosion", ill wait for that explanation too. Tripping breakers and over heating them, yea ill by that, hell happens all the time to telsas.
Its an EVSE. The only, and i mean only, thing is does is flip a really meatly relay, that sends the house 240 to the plug. It does zero voltage conversion, it does zero current limiting. A toaster is more dangerous.

I'm getting the same.
Anything special you did or did you just keep reloading the page?
