Hi, I didn't seem to find an answer to the specific question, so posting here.
I rent, and have a NEMA 10-30R wall plug that is used for a dryer.
Tesla sells a 10-30 adaptor for the UMC (I'll be buying the latest version of UMC). My understanding, however, is that Tesla does not use the Neutral wire, but does require a Ground wire.
1. Does the Tesla adaptor route the plug's Neutral wire to the internal Ground in the UMC? My understanding is that it's a no-no to short Neutral to ground at the device level.
2. I was thinking of getting a splitter so that I wouldn't be plugging in and out of the wall plug often and could keep the dryer plugged in (though I would never run the two at the same time). I saw a comment on how a splitter might interfere with the UMC temperature sensor. How does a splitter cause that, and would it fix the issue if I unplugged the dryer from the splitter?
Thanks very much for your feedback.
