Tesla mobile connector https://shop.tesla.com/product/mobile-connector If you want higher output and are willing to spend the money for installation ... https://shop.tesla.com/product/wall-connector Honestly the Tesla EVSEs are top in class and remarkably affordable.

I think the mentality is that most people here already own a Tesla; they aren't looking for a Tesla.

That seems like excessive degradation on the battery, but what do I know ... I bought a 2019 M3 standard range used and was displeased to discover it didn't come with auto pilot or traffic aware cruise control. It didn't impact our infrequent use of the vehicle, but you definitely want to...

Neither was I.

Free supercharging is pretty rare.

Totally fine to use in mild weather. The wall plug can also be used if it's in an enclosed weatherproof outlet cover. Two years ago I used an extension cord (TELL NOONE) at an Airbnb and just piled the connectors under the vehicle for rain protection. Worked fine.

Have you tried charging somewhere else?

You're totally right, there's no point. Don't use it.

That seems like a great use case for a Model S LR. Interstate speeds will certainly net less than the quoted 400 miles, but I can do your routes in my Model Y LR on a single charge without trouble. You will definitely want to have good charging options at your destinations. A minimum of 7kw...

I'm more interested in the charging facilities for these (and other brand big trucks) at their main depots. Theoretically they need to be putting upwards of 500kWh back in the battery each night, and have 12 hours to do it? So they need to be >40kW at a minimum. I'd expect them to have a couple...

That very much depends on the charger itself. It very well may be less than 16A. But at least you'd have another data point in trying to solve this. Have you opened a ticket with Tesla support?

Have you tried another charger? Also I think most people call your model M3P. MP3 is something else 😄

Move it and find out?

Well Musk apparently just fired the whole supercharger team so, no.

I own Tesla stock. Buy the Performance.
