Was looking for a Tesla wall charger and a quick google search returned this store that has a reduced price on the wall connector. Not a huge discount, but still better than paying full price.
Note: The price does not include the cost of installation
They are a certified tesla installer if that means anything to anyone.

Nice mindset
You didn't read the bit about being Telsa certified did you?
what risk? is reading new to you?
Less risk buying this from a non-Tesla store in light of the reputation of Muskings at every stage of dealing with that Ponzi scheme fraud-enterprise.
Wow, that is great word soup.
I see someone has not read anything about customer experience on Tesla warranty claims.
TL;DR it's not great.
Can this be used to charge non-teslas?
Just get an adaptor from Aliexpress.
No adapter needed. Australian Tesla's use the same port as 99% of other EV's here.
We use a Tesla Wall Connector to charge both a Tesla and a BYD.
😲
a Tesla and a BYD
Which do you prefer?
@jv: The Tesla is the better of the 2, but for ~$15k more you would hope so. The BYD punches above it's weight and is great value.
@taki: hey its like saying you prefer a Corrolla over a Mustang? its each to their own. Some people like fast cars with new technology and good software others like cheap things. The thing with cheap cars is you pay for what you get.
@zeomega: I wasn’t aware a mustang could do 0 to 100 in 3 seconds like a model 3 can, it appears you’re uneducated, the many mustangs i have left in the dirt because they thought they could beat a model 3 performance makes me laugh lol.
@kungfuman: So the new volvo ex3 does in in 3 seconds too. I don't consider it liken to a sports car either.
0-100 times are one thing. Fun factor is another. The body roll and handling for a sedan like the model 3 is shocking.
People turn to look at a mustang as it cuisses along with it v8 rumble.
Model 3s are common like a madza 3, plenty on the road and no one turns to look.
@zeomega: They turn and look at a mustang then there jaw drops when a model 3 beats it. Mustangs are loud thats pretty much it they aren't fast compared to most of the tesla range. Body roll? lol you have never driven a tesla have you? there cars are very stable you will stuggle to get a roll of any kind its firmly glued to the ground on corners, you need to look up track racing and see how much better handle a Tesla has over most supercars. EVs now make 8% of Australia's motor vechicles. Mazda still owns about 20 or 30% of the market in Australia, if you are seeing more model 3s you're imagining that becaue the math doesn't check out.. 70k to 100k cars aren't common. Mazda 3's are under 40k and a very common car. Don't know where you live but you must have all the tesla owns living in you suburb because its very rare to see where I am.
@kungfuman: I've driven a Tesla. Please test drive the polestar in windy corners and you'll find a very sorted chassis in comparison to the Tesla.
Tesla firmly glued to the ground? Tesla handles better than most supercars? LoL. Thank you for clarifying your understanding
As I said. 0-100 is one aspect of motoring.
I live north of Sydney. They are everywhere. Every few mins i see one drive past me on the road.
@zeomega: what tesla did you drive? and for how long? did you drive it round a track? Yep does here is a 911 turbo getting owned by a tesla model S plaid again it appears your not educated or do no research? https://fastestlaps.com/comparisons/543n2tm8adfc . O your from sydney that explains everything. Well hate to say it but Sydney doesn't represent all of Australia. And the fact you laughed at facts explains that pole that every sydney person has firmly up there back sides and there lack of looking at facts. I have driven a Polestar its an SUV lol good luck cornering with that.
@kungfuman: What has my car got to do with it?
My car is definitely not EV quick in a straight line, corners is where it shines. A set of OEM spec tyres costs me 5k+ with deals from Jax. Let's just leave it as that.
Sorry. You bragging about a Tesla Model S not the Model 3 in the link? Right-O.
I'll exit stage left now. Thank you for your insights Tesla fanboi.
@zeomega: I said Tesla didn't say which one. You assumed it was 3 for some reason. But reading must be hard. You sound like you don't have a Model 3 performance which you can get a performance kit with. Thank you for your insights into an ignorant Sydney siders take, that wouldn't know a train was up ya till the people got out. Not one bit of facts, just all hot air and no knowledge what so ever. Show us facts instead of talking out of your arse. (like all sydney people runing away when they loose and complain just like when they loose badly in Origin sound familar?)
Wow.
The fastest Tesla is 12+ seconds a lap slower around Zhejiang than the less powerful Porsche. Which happens to possess better lateral grip and braking (as one would expect).
At that rate it would be lapped after just 8 laps. How very embarrassing.
Oh well. The Tesla owner can bask in the glory of traffic light drags.
@Speckled Jim: you got actually evidence and facts to back that up? or are you just talking S#$t? Because as it stands Porche and tesla have been at it for along time telsa beats Porche then Porche beats tesla then repeat what point in time are you talking about? Nurburgring track times are even more interesting
you got actually evidence and facts to back that up?
Ohh, just the link YOU posted, champ.
or are you just talking S#$t?
Oh I think we all know who's talking shit.
@Speckled Jim: you quoted one thing and based your entire argument on one thing? lol I was asking for more evidence that explains your findings in other words expand upon it 1 time is 1 time. That's why I called you out on it. But I know things are a little slow in Tasmania so I'll talk slower. But if you want to talk S#$t that up to you.
@kungfuman: Matey, if you're gonna post a link, at least know the content. It's all in the table.
The 911 is faster around their small figure-8. Lateral acceleration and braking are in the table too. So not just "one thing".
If you know anything about cars, and lapping them around a track, you know lateral grip and braking are essential to consistent, fast lap times.
I'd hate to be in the heavier car that will suffer brake fade after a few hard laps. 2+ tonnes is a lot of weight to punt around a track.
@Speckled Jim: your first comment just sounded like you were talking about the time, but it appears you talking about the rest of it now. This is just one test they did there are many and its a constant change between Tesla and Porche they improve each time this is done. Its actively done more when testing on the Nurburgring track they show a more comprehensive analysis between Porche and Tesla vehicles. That and the very fact that a 10 year old car company is able to even put a dent against car companies that have been around for 50 to 100 years is unbelievable, and it means Tesla will eventually work it out, since the results improve every time this is done. the moment Tesla deploy a lighter battery then things will get more interesting.
@kungfuman: All good, but that time around the both circuits is a product of the way they corner and brake.
The Motortrend figure-8 is explained here. It's a 2008 article, but the standard 200' twin circles are still used.
@loksmack: yeah I think BYD will be the next toyota it will take over for good value cheap evs, Tesla may pull a rabbit out of a hat though who knows.
@jv: Got both, prefer the Tesla.
Don't install it with 3phase if you have a BYD. BYD only supports single phase charging.
My BYD only gets 3kwh where the Tesla gets 16 because of this :(. Thought I'd go all out and future proof the charger at home and that didn't work out lol.
@JustinBl: You can install it with 3phase if you have a BYD, you just want to ensure it's sized for 32A (which gives 7kw single phase and 22kw 3phase). Sounds like yours was installed as 16A only, which gives 3.6kw single phase and 11kw 3phase. You might want to look into changing your setup.
the only benefit getting the tesla charger over a third party is the fact it just works with well teslas and you can sync it with your tesla and you get software updays on your charger. the other thing is you can open your charge power with the charger on the handle :D
@kungfuman: Hey man,
Some people here does not know about the ability of M3P.. Most of the mucle cars just got the sound.. I love beating every one of them on the road..
Now some people just back off as soon as the they see a M3P. 😬
@thisarapc: it just amazes me that there are still idiots in Sydney that know nothing and continue to know nothing because they can't take the facts.
yes, verified with an ioniq 5
yeah its a CCS 2 charger it works with any EV.
I tried using a Tesla Destination charger the other day that look just like this and couldnt get it charging on my Ioniq5
I read in forums you can hold the button on the plug handle for 5secs to force it to charge, didnt help :(
@D1Vad: The rollout isn’t complete. The superchargers only have a few which are unlocked. The other chargers need to be switched to legacy mode in order to work with non Teslas.
@ATangk: I know about the NSW gov superchargers coming for all.
But i was talking the small AC destination chargers, that look just like the one in this ad.
@D1Vad: i have seen ioniq 5s at my local shoping center using the same chargers thats in this ad with no issues. maybes its a software vin block or something. Some have the tesla charger to only work with certain vin numbers.
@D1Vad: I have seen this somewhere but have not tried
"The technique is to leave the car on, plug in, wait for car to announce charge fail, turn car off, turn car on"
@D1Vad: Perhaps you didn't have your car turned on when you plugged in the cable.
typically, I don't have my car on when connecting the cable. just a thought
@D1Vad: The older (v1 and v2 I think) Tesla 'destination' AC type-2 chargers aren't configured to charge non-Teslas - they don't 'handshake' properly. The newer V3 destination AC type-2 chargers CAN be configured to charge all type-2 EV's IF set up to do so. It's possible it's locked to just charge Teslas.
You’ve never once heard failed to charge from your I5 and Tesla EVSE?
Yes, there are settings to charge just your EVs, any Tesla, or any EV
Can this be used to fill my petrol car?
If you buy enough of them, sure.
Yes, but not entirely. The connector matches most other cards but teslas proprietary communication causes issues, certainly many issues with HKG cars. If you have intention of using the EVSE with anything other than a Tesla it’s probably wise to look at alternatives.
Just finished charging my iX1 at 22kW on the Gen 3 Tesla charger. Have used it on Model 3, now Model Y, i4, iX and iX1. Use it at least once a week with all cars. No issue.
Can you install these legally without a sparky?
ask your insurance company :^)
no
If youre a license sparky, sure.
no
Just as a reference my electrician charged about $800 including materials and about 6 metres of conduit as it was about 5 from the power box. Ones on Teslas sight were quoting me almost double that.
$500 here but a dodgy sparky who hasn't sent me a compliance certificate yet
What happens if they don't send you one? Are the repercussions just insurance related?
I imagine
I think compliance certs are pointless. you get one everytime a sparky changed a powerpoint. do you have one for every powerpojnt at your house? who can tell what's original and what's not and what was replaced 3 owners ago where there would be no paperwork anyway.
My local Sparky charged me $450 to install
Bargain ru 3 or single phase and how close to meter box?
Tesla certified quoted me 1200 plus gst to install.
Is that supply and install?
100% only install.
Installation only.
Tesla certified quoted me 1200 plus gst to install.
Did you ask how much for cash ?
Cheaper if you pay with carbon credits or dogecoin
It can be a lot more if the powerbox and charger are distant. Our run from east side to west side of the house (two-storey house), and then into the garage through the brickwork was about $1800.
We had them wire it for 3phase which also contributed to extra cost.
And yes we got quotes from 4 companies, all similar due to the distance and pain to do the job
Recomemd any sparky around brissie who would get me a 3 phase at a reasonable price? Pls pm me. tia
$350 with certificate Melbourne.
Sent a PM if you could share contact.
Yep PM if you would recommend thanks
Pm please!

It would be helpful if you could provide the contact details here :)
Well If one is allowed
hi random dude, if you could send me a pm with details too!
@randomdude14, sent PM if you can share contact, thx.
hey mate can you PM me too please
Here you go.
Nice bloke, top-notch service - prices would vary depending on how complicated your situation may be. You can ask him for a quote.
Pro Modern Electrical Pty Ltd - James Vandenesse - Google for the contact details
Can anyone recommend a good installer in Sydney? For a straight forward install
Need a recommendation for an installer in Brisbane please!
I’ll ask a friend he was extremely happy his installer. Send me a PM
Did you manage to find one in brissie? Looking at someone who can do the 3 phase plus charge at a reasonable price.
What’s the charge rate from normal power and rate for 3phase, is there much difference? Only asking as I might build a house soon and thinking about 3 phase, will have solar too, if that makes any difference?
7KWh Max on single phase and upto 22kwh on 3 phase. most cars accept a max of 11.5 at the moment. there's the odd car that does 22kw off AC. but that's basically the top limit before you need to go DC to get faster speeds.
Don't know about "odd car" as two of mine currently charge at 22Kw.
3rd party store, not official tesla store, in case that means anything to anyone.
