On the trip we’re on, two of the folks we stayed with had 240v receptacles conveniently placed for charging. But they were 3-prong 6-50 receptacles, while all we have for 240v is the Tesla 14-50 adapter. No big deal, since we planned our trip around Superchargers anyway. Still, for next time, I thought about getting the 6-50 adapter from Tesla. But I don’t see any reason this adapter, found on Amazon, wouldn’t accomplish the same thing for about 1/3 the cost, still using my 14-50 adapter. Am I missing something? I‘ve been advised it may compromise the temperature sensing of Tesla adapters and add contact points, but it seems no worse, and maybe not as bad as, the extension cords many use without issue. Thanks in advance.
As an aside, I’m surprised that the listing says nothing about the 14-50 side of the adapter not having a neutral, since the 6-50 receptacle doesn’t. Not relevant nor necessary for charging, but very well might be for other applications such as RV’s where it could lead to a shock hazard.
