    If I take a long trip, should I consider packing some of these...

    They're fantastic for parallel parking.

    Cool. Didn't know that. They exist for J1772. Park right behind the ICE'er to box them in and run the extension around their vehicle :)

    Wow I haven’t experienced that at all and I have travelled through other states. I would buy a spare tire kit before packing a dolly.

    This was more of a joke as a device that could be used to move other cars that are blocking chargers, not for your own car :)

    When it's actually something more than a website render, I'll consider it.

    Any day now ... 43 weeks ago.

    Until then, no such extension exists. And believe me, I'd love one - even just for the HPWC.

    I have seen Tesla extensions but none are rated for anything close to the current of a supercharger. They can put out 600 amps.

    Where have you seen one (a non-supercharger one), aside from the QC Charge rendering?

    I saw a Tesla extension on EBAY, don't remember the details though. The other was probably the QC Charge. I didn't know that one wasn't a real product. There is a seller on EBAY selling Tesla cord-mount connectors (vehicle side) for making up Tesla extensions or adapters.

    I wonder if this would work:
    TeslaTap -> J1772 Extension -> J1772/Tesla adapter
