How many contacts on the current dryer cord? If four, and the dryer outlet is NEMA 14-30, you can remove the neutral prong from the Tesla supplied 14-50 adapter and it will fit in the 14-30 socket. The neutral is not used by the UMC.i have a clothes dryer outlet that i can use at beach hose to plug in. can anyone suggest where I can find an adapter with a standard dryer male and 14-50 female? circuit has over 50+ amps sso that is not a problem..

I didn't see any documentation on the website about protecting against 40A pull on a socket rated for less. Was there any with your purchase?I bought a 14-50 to 14-30 adapter here (friend's house has a 14-30 dryer plug).

Yup, I might.No documentation. One could always email them, I suppose.
Why? Just remove the 14-50 neutral prong and the 14-50 now fits 14-30, 14-50, and 14-60. You will not hurt the UMC, as it doesn't care about neutral.I bought a 14-50 to 14-30 adapter here (friend's house has a 14-30 dryer plug).

I beg to differ. 14-30 is pretty much the standard dryer outlet, not 14-50. 14-50 is the common electric stove outlet in household wiring.14-50 is considered the standard dryer outlet. (kinda). Can you post a picture of your plug? Tesla makes many adaptors.

If it really is a 50 Amp circuit, then good to go. If it is a more common 30 Amp circuit, then you must dial the Tesla down to 24 Amps.
Just bought the same one...see belowI bought a 14-50 to 14-30 adapter here (friend's house has a 14-30 dryer plug).

The UMC cord is just 18 feet. And the key is you have to measure from the charge port on the car. This weekend I drove over 200 miles each way and stayed at my sister in law's place. Her NEMA 14-30 outlet was less than 18' from the passenger side rear quarter panel of my car when I backed in, but it was about 22' from the driver's side rear quarter panel leaving me 3-4' short of being able to plug in with my UMC and the Tesla 14-30 adapter. I had no 14-50 to 14-30 adapter for my 30' NEMA14-50 extension cord at the time (just ordered, see above).Yeah, be careful - the various 14-30, 14-50, 10-30 plugs can all look similar. There is no "standard" dryer plug. Common ones are a 14-30 4 pin plug and a 10-30 three pin plug. Both are 30 amp 240V. You say the circuit has over 50+ amps? I'm not sure what you mean by that - is the dryer plug breaker 50 amps? Or the entire service panel has 50+ amps?
If this dryer plug is within 20 feet of the Tesla, you should be able to buy an appropriate adapter here:

Yea, I ordered a slightly different one that is 5' longer and $5 less expensive:To be safe, I ordered one of these, as well... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHGY930/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The dryer plug is just inside the house, by the garage door.
Because he wants to charge at 40 Amps, not 24 Amps. Does the 14-30 adapter not automatically reduce the maximum Amps allowed?Why not buy the 14-30 adapter from Tesla???

Maybe your concerns will be heard louder than mine, posted earlier in this thread. I think the OP's intent is clear.Yes, but you cant pull 40 amps from a 30 amp recepticle.
