I have a 2015 Model S 85D and just purchased a 2021 refresh Model S LR.
So.... now I have a Gen 1 Mobile Connector from the 2015 that charges at 40A. I was a little surprised to learn that the new Mobile Connector (Gen 3 apparently?) will only charge at up to 32A.
I will be selling the 2015 and figure I should give the buyer a charger so now I wonder which to keep and which to give away with the car.
My thoughts:
Thanks for listening to my thoughts playing ping pong. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

My thoughts:
- Better to have the newer charger (2 years old vs 8 years old)
- But... 40A is better / faster than 32A
- But... I pretty much charge overnight exclusively and either way car will be full by morning.
- But... Every once in a rare while there that time where car is empty and want to get it charged up as quickly as possible. 40A would be nicer for this.
- But... That's a rare scenario for me and not a big deal to go to a Supercharger
- But... Supercharging is no longer free for me
