Thanks for that.
Didn't even think about the UMC not being water resistant.... looks like I'll need to budget for a wall connector/sparky after all.
And you know what else, @Blaq? I just realised that our orders are the exact same spec
Jinx!

The current AUS manual for the UMC states it is IP55 rated which is water resistant.
'IP55 = It is protected against water jets projected by a nozzle (6.3mm) from any direction'
The older ones were only IP44.
Had mine outside in rail and hail completely unprotected since I got the car in March and still working fine. Noting have had alot of rain in Sydney in this time.

Or both have equivalent bad tasteWe obviously have good taste
My UMC has been outdoors dangling off the side fence several days a week, and most nights, for over two years. Including many weather extremes. It still works just fine.

Did you find an experienced electrician in Perth @sparkles ?
There are many who are used to installing 32 amp sockets and chargers for Teslas, but Delco 0430 007 647 is one of the best.

Thanks so much for the recommendation, @Techno-phile
I haven't gotten around to it yet, so will be sure to give Delco a call. Would definitely prefer to use someone with experience

Give Ryan at EVCI a call or request a quote, he also offers discount for TOCA members, details are found in Benefits>Business Directory, set filter for Charger Installations and location to West Australia.Would definitely prefer to use someone with experience
Ryan installs all the common chargers, Tesla HPWC, zappi, Hypervolt etc.

Remember to consider installing just a 32 amp 5pin socket on its own EV circuit. Then you plug in an UMC or an HPWC whichever you find to be better for you. And be able to take the UMC or HPWC on bush trips round WA where we have many 32 amp 5 pin socketsThanks so much for the recommendation, @Techno-phile

Tesla's now sending out a broadcast SMS informing us that all cars delivered before 31 March 2023 will have a UMC included, regardless of when the order was placed.
I haven't received this txt yet, placed an order in October, wonder if that means my car won't be arriving before the end of March?
