I know that Eaton said it would be great for your Tesla but I'll add a little bit. I have this exact model and use it for my Tesla with portable charger pulling 32A max for hours at a time. I also purchased a Hubbell 50A receptacle that is actually commercial grade and was recommended for charging my Tesla by other Tesla owners. The commercial outlet is larger than will fit in this enclosure so I couldn't swap it out. For now I'm using this model with the receptacle that came included with it. I was watching Will Prowse on YouTube. He's a solar guy but did a video about NEMA 50A outlets for his own Tesla. He warns that the models that are NOT industrial grade have been known to melt down and that this almost happened to him. Fortunately his Tesla charger plug sensed the problem and frequently nagged him over overheating in the outlet. Mine has not complained yet but I'm taking mine back to Lowe's and getting a new enclosure that will accommodate the Hubbell 50A industrial outlet.
