I ordered a MY LR scheduled for June; I was thinking of what setup I should get for charging while traveling.
There are a lot of AirBNB, friends houses, campgrounds, etc where I could do level 2 charging. The main decision is what format extension cord to buy, and while most people are using 14-50; the 6-50 standard has a smaller lighter cheaper cable that I found.
The cable is 40ft; with 8AWG wire for $113. The 14-50 cables I'm seeing are well over $200 for 50 feet. So my thought is buy the following items, Tesla adapter, extension cable, and common 240volt adapters that go to 6-50 receptacles;
Tesla 6-50 adapter $45
Maxworks 40ft 6-50 Extension Cord $113
Onetak 14-50P adapter $20
Onetak 10-50P adapter $26
Onetak 10-30P adapter $19
Parksworld TT-30P to 14-50R adapter $26
Extra Maxworks 40ft 6-50 Extension Cord $113
Extra Tesla 14-50 adapter $45
So that comes out to a 6-50 setup of $250 or with the two extras $408. For a similar comprehensive setup of 14-50 adapters and a 50' cord I'd be at $462, and a bonus 25' cord pushing that to $595.
The 6-50 cord also looks thinner/lighter/smaller, and the 6-50 adapters are smaller without any short cord between both ends. For the 14-50P to 6-50R adapter I could cut off the neutral lead so it fits in either a 14-50 or 14-30 outlet. The smaller 6-50 cable should be fine for the 32amp limit of the Tesla mobile charger, even if I string two of them together.
I'd have a setup that could connect to all the common 240volt outlets in a house while traveling. Does anybody have any feedback on this plan?
