Yes the J-1772 spec (and the Roadster) have a very safe connection protocal. There is no electricity until your car is fully connected, then and only then can the current begin to flow.
Lots of handshaking going on. 99 percent of questions we get as owners have been figured out by Tesla long before delivery. The 1 percent are just stupid questions that involve perpetual motion cars.
Yeah, I cancelled my reservation for Tesla's upcoming perpetual motion car when I found out it wouldn't charge in the rain.
Need a yellow Roadster like that out here in Oregon; gets a bit gray during the winter, so it helps to bring our own sunshine!
I have to agree with Raffy here. But without the bikinis ;-) When I first posted these pics on fb, I said something like "soap makes everything look sexy"
I asked the same question at my local Tesla store last Saturday. "Is it safe to charge in the rain or should I cover the charge port with a tarp???" Answer "It is safe to charge in the rain and not cover the port area."
