Not sure what the largest EVSE the Teslas can handle, but IF you have the capacity in your power panel, there are some advantages of going big, but it does cost more. The primary advantage is, obviously, a shorter time to full charge. Somewhat depends , on what your typical turn-around time is. IF you have all night, it's not that big of a deal, but could still be if your battery was nearly depleted. YOu can't hurt a properly functioning EV or EVSE by having one larger than needed. The Tesla box, though, doesn't necessarily mean that follows all of the J1772 protocols, it's just that the car, the adapter, and the box do enough to work with either when charging a Tesla.
The adapter seems to convert a J1772 EVSE to a Tesla plug, does it work the other way around, too?
