One of the most readily available strong power sources is a welding shop plug. Does anyone know (a) why Tesla doesn't sell an adaptor or (b) how to solve the problem: I have shopped EVE adaptors and Conntek and am building a supply of pigtail and adaptor plugs that don't work.
Is there some danger to using this approach that explains the discontinuation: in terms of speed of charging, if there is no Tesla PWC or supercharger, this has to be the fastest available, with 240V and 50A, so roughly 50km per hour if you have the dual charger.
I have scoured the internet on this, without success. Welders use a Nema 16 50R female outlet. I can't find anything that gives me that male end and any kind of female that will bridge me back to the Model S.
Seems such an obvious and widely available outlet that there should be an easier way to do this.
