I need an extension cord for my charge for regular slow charging use.
I was going to buy just a typical 10awg cord since I think that's safe. I need to go about 25 additional feet.
Then I was reading that the slow charger Tesla gives us actually has a thermal censor in the terminal sides of the cable. If too much heat is detected it shuts off.
I guess if we use /any/ extension cord with the Tesla charger then we're losing that safety element.
So my question really is: does an extension cord exist with similar censors like that? If not, are there other things I should be doing to monitor safety when regularly charging with an extension cord?
