Tesla Replacing Gen 1 UMC with Gen 2 UMC

They fixed the number one warranty issue with the GEN1 UMC.

Here’s a link to the GEN2 opened up for all to see:

While your singular experience is great, sadly, the newer wall plugs can still melt at the plug.

Again, I’ve handled more than one.

I'm sure it's still possible. A bad connection at the plug can cause heat build up. Any adapter has that risk to a degree over a fixed and closed connection/cable. But how many times does it happen these days with the new replaced adapters and how many times of those cases was it user error?
Point is that's not the reason that switched to 32 Amp on the new UMC, It is not a recall or safety issue. The original post that suggested it would be a safety issue with the old UMC turned out to be just a misunderstanding. I'm not saying the old UMC is perfect. Any time you introduce a connector/adapter to a high power system you adding a possible problem. That's why the wall connector is so much better. It's all a fixed connection.

Melted plugs certainly happens less now than it did with the original plugs. There are a lot of manufacturing flaws.

Here is the picture of the GEN2 UMC that I posted elsewhere:

Is it still made by Curtis?

They only made the Roadster unit.

Both the first and second GEN non-Roadster portable is made by Jabil in Chihuahua, Mexico.

That explains a lot...

A lot more stuff in in these than I thought there was. I guess given the stuff in it, the price isn’t that bad...
