I recently got a model S and live in Newfoundland, which is among the worst jurisdictions in North America for charging EVs. I'm planning some road trips and intend to do a lot of charging with NEMA 14-30 dryer plugs.
So, my question: If I bought one of these: Heavy-duty NEMA 14-50R extension cord for Tesla, 20 ft., it looks like I could plug into both dryer outlets and NEMA 14-50 RV outlets. HOWEVER, I also understand that this would enable me to draw too much from the NEMA 14-30 and trip a breaker or something.
Am I good using this, so long as I always keep the amperage to 24 amps or lower? Or do I need to buy the Tesla NEMA 14-30 adapter, and then also get a specific extension cord for that type of outlet?
