How has the experience been using the Tesla Universal Wall Connector? I have an installation scheduled for it to use with my EQE SUV. Opted for the Tesla universal unit because I know MB already has plans to shift to NACS eventually

I have been using a Tesla Universal Wall Connector almost daily since mid January with both our 2023 EQE SUV and our Tesla. I have had no issues with either vehicle. The only issue is my wife figuring how to get the right connector to use with the EQE

Apart from being the only one with both NACS and J1772, it also has power sharing and allows "daisy chaining" up to 6 chargers while using one circuit.
i will be installing two using daisy chaining. I think power sharing is such an important feature for households with more than one car; and I am surprised that most of the popular ones like ChargePoint don't even have this feature.

No, certainly not. I'm very sorry to see that you're having issues, but a Tesla destination charger isn't a source of them. All L2 EVSEs are straight hookups to your mains, with nothing inbetween. Just a relay with a pulse-width-modulated communications bus on the comms pins to tell what the maximum rated current can be from the wall so it doesn't trip the breaker or melt the EVSE. The charger is in the car only. I've done plenty of Tesla destination charging and it works perfectly well.

I literally had this problem for two weeks now in and out of service department with eqe. Blinks red with Tesla universal wall connector after it charges a little and gives me charging error.
