Hello all. I tried looking through the original thread, http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/show...-Reports-of-Garage-Fires-Bloomberg-News/page5, but couldn't find an answer. Has anyone received their new NEMA 14-50 adapters with embedded fuse?

I had a tiny tiny bit of warped plastic on my adapter, and the service center swapped me out immediately with the "new" adapter. I can't see if there's an embedded fuse, but it is the new design.
This happened a couple months ago. I have used it to charge at 40 amps a couple days ago, to full range charge. No problems.
Doubt it is the new thermally protected one. Look at the flat face and see what the part number is. Does it end with anything other than -B or -A?
1014324-00-B. So that's still unprotected, right?
Interesting. What should it end with? Or do we know yet?
Everything has been checked out and is fine and working the way it should be. So not sure what is going on here. In the mean time I don't mind charging at 30 amps. I would just prefer 40 if possible. I've checked the UMC in the middle of a charge and it's barely even warm. So who knows.
