Who is the first to sell a 4 foot nacs to nacs extension cord? Or nacs to ccs adapter extension cord?

Took my Lighting to a V3 charger nearby and measured. Cable was about 3ft short. Not sure how they expect us to use this. Blocking other chargers will not work. So we really won’t have access.

This is truly ridiculous. Tesla is not going to retro install thousands of longer cables. God is there no one with two brain cells working on this?

Thus why I mention it.

The Tesla Magic Dock I used was only about 1 foot short. But I had my grill right up against the bollard.

Spring season is March 19 to June 20.

They have removed the bollards in magic dock locations for that reason. They have also had to remove bollards in non magic dock locations to accommodate Cybertrucks.

If you leave the net energy metering plan and go to one of the TOU or EV plans what happens to the peaks and valleys of the solar you generate? The nice thing about the Net energy plan is month to month it can vary but it trues up after 12 months.

This 100%. It's a requirement for the deal. Tesla will only support payment through the app for Magic Dock.

All of the adapters will be for SuperChargers only, or Destination Chargers only.



Then you're using Plug and Charge wrong. Plug in. DONE. No buttons to push.



Magic Dock is not a testing apparatus for Tesla, it's the 3,500 SuperCharger rollout promised by end of 2024 to the administration.

I hooked up to a v3 just fine. Also, A2Z EV has an extension in progress.

Downside to this is it kills a whole potential charging spot for a Tesla.

I assume this is what you're talking about: https://a2zevshop.com/collections/c...cts/tesla-nacs-dc-supercharger-extension-cord

Interesting product. Fixes the parking issue, or at least it may.
Shame we're not getting THOSE for free!

I think it would be helpful for everyone to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good in this whole transition. There are a lot of smart people aware of all of the issues. As a Tesla owner myself for many years I have rarely been to a full Supercharger. There is usually plenty of capacity and Tesla is churning out the locations as well as NEVI funding for CCS and other companies hoping on board. By the end of '24 the charging landscape is going to be drastically different.

need one with the adapter built in. I'm sure it's coming.

How is that new Tesla roadster coming that people paid for in full about 5 years ago?

Boss Tweet would say, "2 B released w/Model2-Elmo"

They've already removed thousands of bollards to give a bit more room. I think the V4 shells with longer cables will take a lot less time than you may think. I don't think anybody wants you to have to use extension cords any more than you want to have to use one.

It will be interesting to see. The conductors have to be massively oversized since Tesla V3 cables have liquid cooling, and with the long high current charging curve, this extension will get super hot.

Somebody in another thread insisted it was “simple math“ that we wouldn’t get free adapters. Turns out that random internet yahoos like us aren’t running car companies.

And it’s pretty clear the people who are have more than two brain cells.

Notice that the absolutely most important specification is missing from the specs at the bottom.
