DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use this (or any brand of extension cable) at a Tesla Supercharging station! They are not designed to handle the much higher amount of electrical current those chargers generate. You will cause the cable to overheat and possibly cause a fire! USE ONLY AT HOME!
Very good advice! I hope someone does not try this! And I wonder if the supercharger could detect this and prevent this.
@@terrylueders someone will need to uhhh try it out to see if it will…
$300 cable but I can see how it can help some people. Def good to have as an option!
There are identical ones for $150-$200.
Or just move the wall charger and skip messing with yet another cable. Looks like you only need another foot. I'd put it on the other side of that doorway.
My wall charger is hardwired into the wall. Hiring an electrician to add metal conduit and extend the wires would be more trouble than it’s worth. With this extension cord I can take it with my mobile charger to the camp site or wherever.
Going to get one once the Model Y Juniper edition comes out.
Next they need to come out with a liquid cooled cable setup for level 3 charging.
Also good to bring with you. I don’t know how many times I’m on a trip and go to a Hampton inn and the destination chargers are iced. You could easily reach over to a free spot
Great point. This would totally fix getting iced at destination chargers. Thanks!
This is exactly what I need to be able to charge my Cybertruck since I have to back into the garage
Perfect example! Thanks for sharing! Hope this helps you out.
I liked the video just for the intro 😂 but this is awesome. Thanks for this vid
Thank you for your video. Also, thank you for specifying. This is not for a supercharger originally that’s what I was thinking this would work for also in your video you did not mention the price or even price at the time of your video but it looks like a great product. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I left off the price because it changes fairly often with sales, etc. I usually add coupon codes in the description to help with some of the costs.
Great video. Lectron is a great quality brand. I just bought a Toyota RAV4 hybrid Prime which is plugin. Lectron makes an adapter that fit on my Tesla level 2 charger which I can plug in to RAV4 which charging goes from 10 hrs 120 volt to 2 1/2 hours with adapter.
My main reason for looking at this is to figure out how to deal with charging at superchargers when towing a trailer. I’m going to assume the super charger will accept the extension cord so I can pull into superchargers nose first
DONT USE THIS AT A SUPERCHARGER!🔥🔥👨🚒👨🚒🚒🚒🧯🧯
Sadly when we were traveling the hotel Tesla Destination Chargers were ICE'd. This extension cord would have saved the day. I'd use it as a LAST RESORT. I will have to consider adding this to my travel accessories given all the ICE'ing we have encountered.
Great review!
Does the button the car end of the cord open the charge port?
It didn’t work when I tried it. I’ll keep testing it to see if I can get it to work. I’ll let you know if it does.
Need one that will work at the super chargers now when I m towing my trailer.
I wish they made one that industrial to handle the current of a Supercharger, but this one will only support level 1 and 2 charging. Those V3 Supercharger cables are liquid cooled!
Thank you. Question - does it stop changing? How about the button?
You do realise that mobile charger is not designed for North America? It clearly says 240VAC 50Hz. The big problem with that is it's not designed for a centre tapped 240V source - it's designed for a bonded neutral earth connection with the 240V sitting all on the active. So while you're only feeding it 120VAC it will work. But never feed it 240 as 120 + 120...
Thanks for sharing. I’ll look into it.
If you get a chance to test drive the model 3 highland base model. I like to know what you think of the base model music quality. Is it close enough to your current long range.
It does sound better than the factory stereo of older Model 3, but my car’s music system sounds great because I replaced all my speakers with Light Harmonic carbon fiber speakers (I have a few videos on my channel about them). But yeah, highland sounds great. One of the reasons is because it has more sound deadening all around.
Great information
Does the button on the extension cable work to open the charge port?
If it works like my Lectron L1 charger, no but it does stop charging (again at least for my L1 charger, may not stop charging for the extension)
It is about F'ing time! It could also be used at the SC when using a bike rack or even a trailer.
I wouldn't recommend using this at a supercharger. This is meant for Level 1 and 2 chargers. The V3 Supercharger cables are liquid cooled, among other things, to manage the heat produced by supercharging. This extension cord isn't made for that. I wish it was, but I think it will be up to Tesla to update their superchargers with longer cords.
I’ve seen in some reviews that the charger won’t stop charging is this true? I thought the car can stop charging whenever
The “Charger” is built into the car, not the cable or wall mounted unit.
Nema 14-50 extension cables would be cheaper.
Assuming you have a NEMA 14-50 outlet, which I do not. It would be more expensive to hire an electrician to install the outlet and then an extension cord. My wall charger is hardwired, so this NACS extension cord is cheaper for me.
@@BecauseTeslayup every situation is different because my electrical box is on the other side of my house opposite of the garage so it’s like 1,500 to get a nema-1450 installed in my garage so I’m trying to just get one installed by my box and just extension cord it and charge in my driveway
Cool. Just don't run over it.
Words to live by.
$300 is so expensive.
It is a lot. I put in a discount code to help a little. Still expensive though.
