I'm a relatively new owner of a Tesla Model 3. I set up my house for charging (with a NEMA 14-50 plug) but I will most often be charging for free at work. A few questions:
1. We have Chargepoint stations at work so we have to share charging cables when they're available. I noticed that if I plug in my J adapter into the charge port, the charging port door tries to close on it. I'd like to keep my adapter plugged in with the door open so that when a co-worker is done with their charger, they can just plug into my car. But will the charge port door keep trying to close and cause any damage?
2. When I'm plugged in, I'd like to free up my charger cable for others to use when the charging is complete. When my car detects that it's done charging (green light), will another person be able to unlock the charger cable from my car for their use?
Thanks in advance for your pointers. I couldn't find this info in the User Manual.
Regards,
Dave
