    Safety Equipment That is a Must Have in a Tesla

    Hello all, I bought my Tesla back in October 2023. I recently did a road trip and was caught close to going right down to 0% on my battery. Luckily, I was able to navigate to a supercharger before I lost all battery, but it sparked some questions: What do you consider to be must haves for...

    Extension cord needed, apartment charging in garage, outlet on ceiling

    I live in an apartment that has a regular outlet in the garage that I could use to charge my Model 3. My only dilemma is that the outlet is on the ceiling so I will be needing an extension cord. I DON'T plan to leave the cord hanging. I will be securing it to the wall. I should only need around...

    120v Extension Cord Charging

    Hi everyone! People were super helpful on my first general-tips post, so I thought I'd shoot out another with a more specific question.

    5-15 extension cord

    I have been researching extension cords to use for charging my Tesla Model 3 on a now and then basis when staying with family out of town.

    240v Extension Cord Question

    I bought a heavy 15-foot extension cord to connect my Model 3 (via a Gen 2 mobile connector with a NEMA 10-30R adapter) to my in-laws' old NEMA 10-30R basement dryer plug. It works fine to recharge my car. Here's my question: If I get an adapter like this one (http://www.shorturl.at/ruT39), am I...

    Charge Cord Extension & Y Splitter

    When I first bought my Model 3 I charged it by tying into my electric dryer connector (NEMA 14-30). Rather than unplug/plug my dryer cord each time, I bought a heavy duty Y-splitter so that the dryer and a 10 foot extension cord that reached my car could always be powered. After living with...

    Any ideas on how to secure an extension cord whilst leaving the car charging over night? I just paid $150 for a good cord and would hate to see it walk off! I know I've seen a plate like device that holds the cable and then you drive onto the plate, but I can't find it now. I drove into the...
