    Mobile Charger Issue with 14-50. Works fine with 14-30.

    I recently had a 14-50 outlet installed, but as soon as I went to use the mobile charger I got nothing. The charger does not light up when plugged in.

    Does anyone use this charger? Was recently installed on my property and (with the adaptor) it will charge just fine.

    Charge port not locking my home charger (but SC's are fine) on my MS, but M3 has no problem.

Sure enough, I can pull...

    So I have a 2017 Tesla Model S in which the Charge Port door opens but no Indicator lights, also the locking pin takes 12-15 seconds to drop down (unlock) before the charging cable can be inserted. Once the charging cable (Home Charger, Supercharger, etc..) is installed it charges fine. Finally...

    Can I leave the wall connector cord/plug on the ground in the rain?

So I'd like to leave the plug on the ground but I'm concerned that rain and snow would get in and cause a short. Has anyone...

    Which charger for rental house?

    Looking at upgrading a rental house with an EV charger. As nice as the HPWC is, I assume it would increase the value of the rental more if it wasn’t Tesla-only. Can other EVs charge from a NEMA 14-50 outlet? That would be cheap and plenty fast enough for my Model 3, I just don’t know whether...
