If you look at the ClipperCreek site more closely, you'll find the HCS units are available with plugs. I'm sure the unit itself is the same (the HCS-40 and HCS-40P are both described as "fully sealed") but they can't rate the P version "outdoor" when it comes with a plug attached.kellie said:
It looks nice, but it's pricey ($999.. ouch). Also seems to be currently back-ordered.sefs said:

Other than somewhat faster charging (3.5 hours at 6.6 kW with the HCS-40 versus 5 hours at 4.8 kW with the LCS-25), there's portability. The faster charging may not really be important if you intend to charge overnight (when the difference between 3.5 hours and 5 hours won't matter while you sleep for 8).kellie said:

While I didn't purchase a converted one (I did the conversion myself), I do use it for all my mobile charging needs. For the first few months of ownership, I used it as my only charging solution. You can get an outdoor RV NEMA 14-50 outlet placed outside your rental, and just plug in with this. Then, when you leave, you only have to leave the outlet. As an added bonus, you can get the adapters for all the different kinds of outlets that are already ubiquitous because of Tesla owners. It is kind of expensive ($999), but it has proved to be invaluable. It allows me to charge at friend's and family's houses with all different kinds of outlets. I have adapters for 14-50, 14-30, L14-30, 6-50, 6-30, L6-30, 6-20, 6-15, 5-20, 5-15, TT-30, 10-50, 10-30, and Marine Shoreline 50. This covers pretty much any outlet I've seen in the wild.

There was a fair amount of concern that Tesla wouldn't replace for non-Tesla owners - did they give you any trouble?sefs said:
I built my own. So I bought the UMC from the Tesla store online. I was first concerned that I wouldn't get one, but completely unprompted by me, they shipped the adapter to my address. Just requested the faulty one be sent back with a prepaid label.twscrap said:
Possible benefit: the connector + cord of the higher-current model may work better as months go by.kellie said:
