I bought a 14-50 adapter before leaving to use at rv sites and charge overnight but was disappointed to find that only 1 site had the plug and it wasn't working while everywhere had TT-30 plugs- Is the EVSE TT-30 adapter the only one you can buy that actually takes advantage of the 30A from these plugs?
- I had planned to leave these RV sites each night with a full charge and minimize my SC stops but sadly that did not work out
I used a TT-30 to 15-50 adapter, setting the charge current manually. One thing, is the weight of the adapter, the 14-50 Tesla cord, and the mobile charger box hanging off the TT-30 receptacle, caused it not to stay in the plug. I had a roll of electrical tape, and wrapped it around the post, electrical box, and TT-30 adapter to hold it all in. It worked fine. Not sure why the TT-30 prongs are so short, and the receptacle was older, which may have made it loose.
I ran a 12V cooler in the car all the time. With the car "conditioning" on (fan speed 3) and the cooler on, I got an increase of 30% charge overnight. Certainly not what I wanted, since there were no Superchargers nearby, but better than going down in charge.
How is Camp Mode different from Keep Climate On?
- From the on screen description it seems like the difference is that climate keeper shuts everything off while camp mode keeps everything on but shuts off security alarm and sentry mode. I don't get it- i tried both and they do the same thing- screen stays on at full brightness, who would want this?!?
- The only thing I could do is turn screen brightness all the way down and go to screen clean mode so the screen is mostly black
I used the "turn climate on" feature from the mobile app, and locked the car from the app. The screen turns off when the car is locked. I turned Sentry mode off from the app as well.
One thing, "turn climate on" kept the fan speed at 3 all night. Seems higher than necessary when I'm stuck on a low power plug.
Also, the "turn climate on" automatically shuts off after 4 hours, even when the can is plugged in. I just turned it back on.
