Why the price difference?

[Unpilot]

I am looking to get a Tesla home wall charger and looking on eBay I see some for 350 and some for 500.

Now I am not familiar with the Tesla branded one but I assume if it is a gen 2 wall charger from Tesla then it is legit.

Why the price difference...and has anyone ordered one from eBay at 350?

I think there are two versions of the Gen 2. One with a short cable and one longer. Could account for some price difference.

Yeah I see that the one I would need is the 24' one and I see several in the 350--370 range

I don't know what search parameters you are using, but it is actually a Wall CONNECTOR, not a "wall charger".

Chances are it won't change your search results, but you might check.

Those a usually Canadian sellers. They get government rebates for purchasing charging equipment, sell, and make a profit. My friend got one, same thing as the one I bough from Tesla

I also don't see you mentioning if some are the generation 1 and some are the generation 2 wall connectors. There is an added feature that the generation 1 doesn't have. The gen 2 has communication between them, so you can install multiple ones onto one circuit, and they will dynamically allocate power to multiple cars. That is really handy if someone has multiple Teslas at home, so the gen 1 versions would probably be less in demand and be going for lower prices.

That’s how I got mine for around $400. Has worked great for 3+ years.

The link a few posts above is for a gen2 unit.
I ordered one for $359 shipped.
