CCS Charge port cover

[HarmOtten]

When charging a Model 3 with Type2 in the rain the DC pins of the CCS connector are exposed to rain/snow:

But the Audi e-tron has a nice cover:

Or other EV have separate covers for both sockets:

What do you think, is this also necessary for Model 3?
Where can be get a rubber/silicon DC-pin-cover?

When charging a Model 3 with Type2 in the rain the DC pins of the CCS connector are exposed to rain/snow:

The Model 3 does have the flap, and the Type 2 connector above the DC pins giving fairly good protection from most precipitation.

Or other EV have separate covers for both sockets:

And how quickly before the owners of that car just rip those clumsy covers off the car and throw them away?

At least the Audi cover is nicely designed and integrated.

I don't like the idea of leaving my model 3 attached tot the wall charger, knowing the two dc pins at the bottom are completely exposed in the rain either...... Has anyone found any protection/cover/solution without having to go to the audi service center?

There is drainage on the other end of the port.

As a workaround you could 3D-print this:
