We recommend installing a hardwired charing station. Tesla Wall Connectors are made specifically for Tesla vehicles. They are a level 2 charging station which means that they're connected to 240-volt power and can be connected to a circuit up to 60 amps. The Telsa Wall Connector is a good option for Model 3 long-range, Model S, Model X, and Model Y drivers that drive many miles often. 

Tesla Wall Connector

When Tesla's were first released there weren't many public charging station options, especially when on a long road trip so they sent a mobile connector cord with a NEMA 14-50 adapter so that in a pinch a driver could stop at an RV park and charge. When public charging stations started popping up along most major highways and interstates (and the standard range Model 3 which isn't capable of charging at 50 amps was released) Tesla stopped providing NEMA 14-50 adapters with all cars. 

With the GFCI requirement on all garage and outdoor receptacles causing nuisance tripping on all known electric cars (see video below). Tesla is no longer providing a mobile connector cord with all cars and it's only a matter of time before all electric car manufacturers follow suit. Now, the cost of a receptacle and the cost of a wall connector installation are about the same cost. Charging stations have been and continue to be a much better product than the NEMA 14-50 since National Electrical Code 2020 was adopted in the Austin area. 

NEMA 14-50's are outdated technology: here's why
