As I mentioned earlier, I took the offer to transfer free SuperCharging to
a new car. Since the SCing was of little value on the 2013. Also
transferred FSD from a third car. I now have a 2024 Y with both FSD and
free SC without additional costs.

I've used many J1772 to Tesla adapters for about 10 years now and never had

You might consider putting the unit in a steel securable box. Maybe with a
wire mesh window so the user can see the lights on the unit. I guess the
cost of the steel box would be would cover the difference between a proper
