its two extension cords NEMA 14-50 one Camco (yellow) 15ft and one 4 ft to UMC
my garage was built in 1929 for a "Model T" and is tight on all sides with BIG BERTHA inside.
I leave her out seasonally so I do not have to do the squeeze play out of the car and all the other risks of damage
My plug location was short sighted 18 moths ago....Who knew about all the nuances of plug access...I do NOW!

Extension cords are useful in a pinch, but using one at home is a bit sketchy.
There's a company that modifies Tesla UMCs with longer cables. Then you don't need the extension cable at all. I can't remember the name, though. Anyone?
It wasn't a cable failure, it was the junction in the yellow connector. If you open it up you will find that the spring clip terminal that is supposed to contact and hold the blade has opened up such that little or no contact with the blade was possible. But the 40A current at 240vac will arc and spark across the gap--the carbon black on the blade is the residue of an arcing contact. The heat generated by the arcing in the high-resistance junction caused the spring terminal to open even wider, and the resistance increases causing more heat and the cycle repeats, aka thermal runaway. Poor metallurgy and manufacturing knowledge resulting in a third world product.
Is anyone aware of a product which allows you to easily monitor the temperatures at the plugs/vehicle?
The DA20's I've flown have one of these on the main spar, visible from the cockpit, to make sure it has not overheated to the point of damaging the composites. Checking it is part of the pre-flight checklist.Non-reversible temperature labels are the easiest way.
A standard breaker would not have tripped (no overcurrent). An AFCI breaker probably would have, but I've not seen double pole AFCI's >20A.Do you guys not have circuit breakers in north America?
The circuit should have tripped to prevent this?
