(Austin, Texas) The coffee is brewing, the day is starting (its Monday!) and Austin is buzzing, literally, as we were hit hard by hail last night and many people are outside cleaning up.

Tesla’s New Universal Wall Connector

I noticed Tesla shared new images of Model Y and another EV together, both charging using Tesla’s beautiful new product: Universal Wall Connector. These new connectors are shipping out to customers starting in October.

Additionally, Tesla will release features on the Tesla App soon to support some pretty cool applications for this product.

I’ve used the basic Tesla Wall Connector for three years now and it is beautiful in both form and function.

Opening Doors for Non-Tesla EV Owners

Tesla is welcoming owners of non-Tesla EVs to also enjoy the charging experience in several ways with this new product, here’s some of the features:

1. Up to 44 Miles of Range per Hour: Delivering a robust 11.5 kW / 48 amp output.
2. Integrated J1772 Adapter: Ensuring compatibility to charge any EV.
3. Smart Charging Management: Monitor and manage your charging schedule and usage seamlessly from the Tesla app.
4. Wi-Fi Connectivity: Access controls, over-the-air updates, and remote diagnostics at your fingertips.
5. Power-Sharing: Connect up to six Wall Connectors for workplaces and community living.
6. Generous Cable Length: A 24-foot cable for added convenience.

My thoughts

I think Tesla’s new Universal Wall Connector is right on track with the transition to all-electric vehicles.

I recently visited Polestar, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz to talk about their EVs.

Each time, I noticed that legacy auto is starting to sell more EVs to their loyal brand customers.

Jaguar announced last week they plan to adopt the NACS and exclusively build and sell only EVs by 2025.

Jaguar said in a Press Release on Sept 21:

“Jaguar will transform into an all-electric luxury brand by 2025, with uniquely expressive vehicles defined by pioneering technologies and visionary design. A copy of nothing.”

I’m all-in on Tesla FSD so my chances of ever switching brands is very low, and with that said, I’m really rooting for the success of other EVs, and this image shared by Tesla media, makes my heart happy.

The charging experience needs to be not only easy, but a pleasure! Every owner who invests in an EV now has the opportunity to also charge faster and easier.
