Pointless (but awesome) accessory of the week... (Tesla Desktop Supercharger)

[DaveW]

Noticed these came to the UK online shop, totally didn't need it, but had to have one!

It comes with no instructions, so as per the norm, I've created a brief guide for it:

Do they do a V2 version that allows installation of both a micro-USB and a USB-C?

Looks a bit like what youtuber TeslaDriver was selling.

Could possibly feed two wires in, not sure they’d both clip in at the top though.

For the real Supercharger experience, you can let one hang down where some lazy scrote didn’t put it back properly

Can I plug that into my NEMA 14-.050

It's in the US Store as well: Desktop Supercharger

I hope the cars are easier to assemble/disassemble than this toy. DaveW's mini-manual saved personal injury ;-)

 

[DaveW]

Really don't understand why there are no instructions with it, as although it's not massively complicated when you know how, it's not glaringly obvious either

Shame the model cars aren't to the same scale

Sad, I thought they can with an actual rechargeable battery. Expensive for a piece of plastic that I need to purchase a cord to even use.

Sticking a LiPo battery in would undoubtedly escalate the already disproportionate cost.

Some additional mass would be useful, though. It is a bit wobbly as-is. I solved the problem by investing the 5p I would have spent on a Kwh with Octopus Go. Coppers glued to the base sorted it

Fancy that? A Tesla product that isn't bottom heavy!

Thanks @DaveW for your assembly guide!
I think I would have broken it without the guidance.

Glad I’m not the only one who bought one of these and wondered how to set it up
