Hmmm....buy a Tesla/J1772 Adapter, cut away J1772 and mount a Mennekes....
What a horrible implementation.... I don't think there is any major problem with the adapter approach, but why couldn't it just be a single solid unit maybe 10 inches in total length rather than two separate parts with a 4 foot cable stuck in the middle of it? Is there any reason at all for that???

...if the adapter tube got bumped or pulled on too much it could have enough leverage to possibly break the connector off of the car
Do you think it will work, at least with 32A?
Same here.I bought one approximately 30 seconds after receiving the email.
I think it won't work this way because all internal connections in the Mennekes connector are sealed with a kind of resin compound. I asked Mennekes a time ago about this.
So who in the US is NOT buying one? And if not, is it because you don't like the design, the cost, or because you've converted your Roadster (or plan to convert your Roadster)?
Since I already have a J1772 to 14-50 and the UMC, I'm thinking maybe just the new firmware will work for me for awhile at least. So few J1772 places are over 40A it's not clear it's worth it since I have a cable solution already.
I would prefer to convert the Roadster, but that would wait until my car isn't under warrantee and/or Tesla service approves and it's certain that the Model S will use the J1772. (When the car is in for service I want Tesla to be able to charge it! - Tesla will have to convert itself with the Model S...)
With the J1772 to 14-50 adapter, you lose the pilot signal so the car doesn't know what the charging limit is. Using the 14-50 pigtail on the UMC, the car thinks it can pull 40A, so you have to set the current limit manually. Since 32A is too high for a 30A station, you have to choose 24A...
I didn't mean to imply that it's actually hanging from the mirror, just facetiously that they seem to be suggesting to use it that way. The connecter is too close to the camera to be actually in contact with the car. Rather than a Photoshop, someone is holding the cable just out of frame (see his reflection and the window). They probably just wanted a shot of it with the car without a $750 part looking lame lying on the ground.Doug, look at the rear view mirror shadow in that image - if it really were draped, the shadow would change. I call BS. That's 'shopped.
