The 110v connector that came with my Model X doesn't seem to connect to anything else that I can plug into the MX. Do I need to purchase another cable or adapter?

No, One end of the plug goes on your Tesla charging cable and the other end in the outlet. The end you are showing in the picture is where the cable plugs in. Other end of charging cable in the car...Did I understand the question?The 110V connector that came with my Model X doesn't connect to anything else that came with the MX. Do I need to purchase another cable or adapter to be able to charge from a 110 outlet?
You understood the question, I failed to recognize where there were "interface options". And, no, @TexasEV , I don't know if I have a "UMC". Does that have something to do with the Marine Corps? At delivery, nobody showed me all the ways to use the charger. Perhaps they rashly assumed I had an IQ above room temperature. I was more excited to take delivery than to understand the many ways in which the Tesla differed from a conventional vehicle. I didn't realize that my gizmo (UMC? See attachment.) that plugs into a 220V outlet can be disassembled to reveal a port that connects to the 110V adapter that came with the Model X. I have a very bad record of "tugging at stuff to see what happens", only to find out that I shouldn't have "tugged at that stuff". But thanks to everyone who educated me about how to make the connection, using the "stuff" that came with the Model X. What a great forum!No, One end of the plug goes on your Tesla charging cable and the other end in the outlet. The end you are showing in the picture is where the cable plugs in.

Tesla appears to be no less confused than I (a low bar). They also refer to 110V. As you suggest, it doesn't matter.And not to be picky, but it's a 120v connector.

The UMC is mobile, as opppsed to the Wall Connector (formerly called HPWC) which is fixed. You should take your UMC with you on trips so you can plug in if you need to.I read the really don't think of the UMC as "mobile". My 220V connection is in my garage. I think of the other adapters as "mobile". In any event, this forum was incredibly helpful.
It makes sense to drop the word "universal" if the connection options are limited. The change to the name occurred around the time the 30-amp adapters could no longer be purchased from Tesla, IIRC. It's great that the 14-30 adapter is available again, though.I don't know why they dropped "universal" from the name but everyone still calls it the UMC. There are other adapters available besides the two it came with. NEMA 14-30, 6-15, and 5-20 are available. You can search this forum for threads about when each are useful, and you can order them from the Tesla web site. 10-30 and 6-50 are no longer made.
