Review on πŸ”Œ AC WORKS EV Charging Adapter: Convert TT-30 RV 30A to Tesla for Convenient Charging by Nick Beck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works, but install this "30 amp " adapter to charge 24 amps or less.

Must be something to do with the neutral leg connection. Although the price may seem steep, EV charging requires an adapter designed specifically for Tesla to work properly. I recommend that any Tesla going on road trips carry one of these adapters along with a 50 amp adapter and/or cord. While there are tens of thousands of Tesla Super Chargers, hundreds of thousands of RV poles stand in hard-to-reach RV sites. I recently drove 6,000 miles cross country alone and had no problem finding lots of Tesla Superchargers along the way. I was comfortable knowing that I could use any number of other types of Type 2 charging if needed, but it turns out I didn't. :-).WARNING: You must set the charging current to 24 or less on the car loading screen. Otherwise this "30 amp adapter" will overheat, melt and fail. A NOTICE. After setting the setting to 24 amps and successfully charging the car at a relative's, the next time I used this adapter my 2019 Tesla Model 3 recognized that I was using it and automatically set the amperage to 24 amps. Can a car be that smart?
