Using a generator to Charge Tesla 3 in a pinch

If you don't want to try to do double adapters like that, the company EVSEAdapters makes really good 3rd party adapters for the Tesla UMC. They plug right into the electronics box of it and keep the temperature sensor in the plug. Here is the one for an L14-30.

Well, that’s all sorts of brilliant! Thank you!

They've been around for several years and were very much a life saver in Ye Olden Days back in like 2013-2015 when Tesla had very few types of adapters available and people were trying to work around those limitations.

Excellent stuff - I’ve seen their work elsewhere and trust them implicitly. Just hadn’t thought about checking for an L14-30. Duh. Cool to see they have CS8265 connectors too. Even IEC60309 connectors. Really nice. (I’ve installed more than my fair share of large IT gear over the years ...)

but yes - the L14-30 twistlock connector makes the most sense.

great to see such a supportive company!
