Is adjusting amp draw in truck now possible?

[Comarley]

The label {on the adapter} was a poke in the eye of Tesla corporate/owners, whom we could rescue, they have adjustability within their car controls.

Well then. That’s hilarious.

I didn’t get one.

Fair enough, but to be clear, they are all designed to be plugged into a wall receptacle and be stationary. Twist locks are for connections where it is critical that the plug not become disconnected.

Dryer plugs are supposed to be a very tight fit and are not meant for frequent disconnection. So the question is, are the “mobile” chargers meant to be used regularly from place to place, and if yes, the provision to do so and make it UL certified is probably the twistlock.

I’m not saying of a certainty that it is a UL requirement, but it seems quite likely. Any high amp 240v or 3 phase equipment that I’ve own and that was connected via non-stationary or fixed connection, required a twistlock to pass electrical inspection. Also, RV receptacles are stationary. A mobile or portable charger has an inherent uncontrolled application. So, I can see that it is quite plausible that this is a UL requirement.

What’s your problem? I’m just trying to have a discussion.
I think you’re the only one being disingenuous here. Relax a little.

A stationary receptacle (or wall plug) is a very specific thing. And, there’s no such thing as a NEMA 14-50 EV plug.

You distort what I say and then make demands. I know what you’re about. The conversation is over with you pal.
