FYI: Tesla Universal Wall Connector Now Shipping

[medmondson]

Preordered one a while back in anticipation of my in production Lightning and just got shipment notification. They never released (as far as I know) a release date more specific than “October” but it looks like they’re upon us.

I installed my Tesla Universal Wall Connector yesterday but the included J1772 adapter does not work.

The LED on the Tesla UWC is green when plugging into a non-Tesla vehicle. The Lightning instrument cluster shows that it is plugged in but "Charging station not detected." I tried with a Bolt and it shows a message saying it cannot charge. It's almost like the J1772 adapter isn't connected to the Tesla UWC.

The Tesla UWC does charge a Tesla and does charge a non-Tesla vehicle when using the Lectron Tesla-to-J1772 adapter.

I've seen a couple of threads on the TeslaMotorClub forums talking about this exact same issue. I submitted a request for support to Tesla through their website, but they do everything they can do limit your ability to get support.

Oh man, that’s really unfortunate. I didn’t get my truck until last week, but it’s worked perfectly in the 2 times I’ve used it so far. Getting between 9-11 kw.
