Is this a 6-50 outlet?

[cpd1]

sorry for the silly question but found this 250v outlet in the in- laws garage, was labeled for an old arc welder.
Sadly not the 14-50 that I have an adapter for so will need to order from Tesla....
Appreciate the help!

Yes. You need one of these:

Yes. Here’s what that looks like from Home Depot, and the adapters you can use from Tesla...



Model S/X Gen 1 NEMA Adapters

Model S/X/3 Gen 2 NEMA Adapters

Check the circuit breaker. Many of these installed for welders are only on 40A circuits, not 50A as you would expect. If it’s only a 40A circuit you will need to manually turn the amps down on the charging screen to 30A.

Actually 32A is the max allowed then (but obviously 30 is okay).

Thanks for the heads up. Breaker is 50A. Not intending to be at the in-laws that often but handy when there
Wife was telling me that circuit probably hadn't been used in 20+yrs...

I'd suggest taking the time to remove the cover and inspect the wiring inside the box. Maybe retorque the connections to make sure they're tight. Be sure to turn off the breaker first.

while doing that you might as well turn it 180 degrees so that your charge cable will hang down when plugged in.
