Good point, I forgot about that detail.Caution: My understanding is that TT-30p to 14-50r RV adapters are wired incorrectly for Tesla and EV use. Tesla does not use the neutral wire/blade at all in a 14-50 plug, for example, just the two hots and the ground.
When buying a TT-30p to 14-50r adapter, be sure that it is labelled for Tesla use. Even better, for the large majority who have the Gen 2 Mobile Connector, just buy the proper adapter from EVSEadapters.com:
TT-30 Adapter for Tesla Model S/X/3/Y Gen 2
Please go to this page to purchase: https://www.evseadapters.com/products/tt-30-adapter-for-tesla-model-s-x-3-gen-2/www.evseadapters.com
Yes, it is a bit pricey but it has the 24 amp current limitation built in and the temperature sensor in the plug for safety, just like all the other Tesla Gen 2 MC adapters.
FWIW.
I actually have the TT-30 UMC adapter from EVSEadapters.com and the Tesla TT-30 to 14-50 adapter from ACconnectors.com
The second one works but the 90 deg design is flawed. Most campsites mount the outlet box to a post. You must support the UMC otherwise the weight can be too much for the TT-30 plug. The relatively short blade design and can partially pull out of the receptacle. The one time I used it, I had to take a small load strap and wrap it around the post/box and adapter to hold the adapter to the receptacle. It worked but was less than Ideal. I broke down and bought the TT-30 UMC adapter after that experience. If you're willing to put up with the potential hassle, the adapter from AC connectors is half the price of the TT-30 UMC adapter. The TT-30 UMC adapter works perfectly because the hanging weight is straight down.
