FYI there is no reason to spend more for the 80A version because the Mach-E can only charge at 48A max. 60A rating is sufficient with safety margin.
You're absolutely correct!

60A Mini before discount: $259.95 (eligible for the discount).
80A High Power before discount: $239.95 (eligible for the discount).

If I'm going to be shoving that many electrons through a non-UL rated device, I'll gladly pay twenty bucks less for the bulkier, more robust looking, cheaper, older-tech version most any day of the week.

Only downsides I can see is it'll take up a little more storage space under the floor in the back, and it weighs a little more.

excuse my ignorance, if I have the extended battery what "tap" would I need to buy?
Same 48 Amp is your charging ability so 60A or 80A.

So this is not for the super chargers
Correct superchargers are only capable with Tesla's currently. This is for the Tesla travel chargers or standard level 2 chargers Iike at someone's house. Supposedly many hotels have the travel chargers. Supposedly in the future they're supposed to open up superchargers for standard vehicles but I Wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

Possibly dumb question -- how would you pay for the charge? My understanding is that this is done via Tesla app for Tesla owners.

How come the discount is for these models and not the others? Curious about the logic here.
It only applies to the models that are high enough amperage to be used safely with the MME.

Tesla destination charges are typically paid for by the property owner, so they're free to the driver.

I don't think they recommend 50A for extended use. They used to have a note about the rated max amperage being limited to 3 hours of continuous use, but that was removed a while ago.
I don't see where they say this on the web site?

I see this, though (I bolded the key portion):

We do not list all of the vehicles that are compatible as our bypass circuit makes the TeslaTap 50 compatible with ALL US built EV’s with a charge rate up to 50 AMPS @ 250VAC (12.5 KW).​

Yeah, they removed it a while ago. The 50A would likely be fine, but if you ask them, they recommend the 60A for the MME, which is likely why they didn't include the 50A for the discount.
