That adapter won't help you if you need to plug in to a 6-50 outlet. The 'R' in 6-50R means 'receiver' (i.e. female end). If you need an adapter to plug in to a 6-50 outlet then you need a 6-50P to 14-50R adapter.
That site does not offer a 14/50 to 6-50 adaptor and unfortunately neither does this site For Tesla Model S (I have bought two adaptors from them already)
I just read through this entire thread, as I am looking for a 14/50 to 6-50 adaptor to use on a trip I have planned this October to a cabin near Yosemite, California. The owner says there is a 6-50 outlet I am welcome to use. He uses the outlet for shop equipment.
I found this 1.5 ft. long adaptor for sale on Amazon Coleman Cable 019408808 8/3 1.5 STW ADAPTER 1450-650 - Extension Cords - Amazon.com
It is described as:
Coleman Cable 019408808 8/3 1.5' STW ADAPTER 1450-650
250 Volts, 10000 watts, 40.00 amp, ANEMA/IEC
Configuration: 14-50P to 6-50R
8/3 AWG
Seems like it would be suitable. 8/3 AWG should be fine for just 1 1/2 feet, right?
I am aware that some people would make such an adaptor by buying the individual parts and wiring them together and while I agree that such an approach is cheaper and seems simple, for $46 including shipping I prefer to buy it.
