I've been trying put together an extension cord strategy that provides flexibility while minimizing components.
My thought was to start with a 30 ft, 14-50 extension cord - this would allow connection at a 14-50 outlet using the Tesla 14-50 adapter on the mobile charger. Testing this configuration resulted in successful charging.
I then thought that I could use this same extension cord for 5-15 charging by using a 5-15M to 14-50F adapter > 14-50 extension cord > Tesla 14-50 adapter on the mobile charger. When I put this combination together, the mobile charger will not light up. I have tried both GFCI and non-GFCI 120v outlets.
Why does the mobile charger not operate in this scenario?
Seeking to learn. Thanks.
