I think that's the right call. You'll be fine with the 50A, and you probably won't end up using it all that much anyway. If you could swap it for free, sure, but not for over $100 difference since you already have one that will work.
There are a couple of resorts out here with Tesla Destination Chargers. One we frequent whenever we want to pay too much for a good seafood dinner. I’ll probably get one for those occasions.
Also, Dave, the guy who makes the Tesla Tap, has tested them to 150A for two hours and found they hold up just fine.
Mini-60 is back in stock at $260.
I wonder how this test works. What is the 150A load for those hours? How does he deal with all the heat of whatever it is?
Didn't ask details. He volunteered that the ran the test at 150A because that was as high as his test equipment went.
Exaclty! only for Level 2 Tesla chargers. I would use it when I go skiing. Most mountain near my area have 80% of Tesla chargers so it would be easier for me to get a spot with this adapter.
That‘s only for Superchargers. These adapters don’t work with those.
They don’t. Tesla doesn’t control or bill for destination chargers. They‘re just Level 2 chargers that places like hotels install.
Currently (or last I heard anyway), tesla Destination Chargers are free to the guests of the host establishment. There were rumblings though that they were going to begin to start charging for these. I haven't seen anything on that -- yet. I also don't own a Tesla so I'm not exactly watching for further developments.
They would have to install new hardware as the old systems don't have any way to do this.
You're correct. The feature is found in their new "third-generation" hardware apparently.
