Ray, great job you did there with the modification of the European 3 phase dongle!I ordered the European 3 phase adapter from Tesla Sydney @ $130 + shipping. The socket came from http://www.uniquip.net.au in Perth.
Just had chance to test Tims 3 phase charger. Works a treat.!:biggrin:
Is that a charger or cable connector? I could only find this which is out of stock.

Working on it!!You should consider selling adaptors for the Tesla euro 3 phase pig tail for Oz 3 phase 16A and single phase 15A sockets Tim, could be quite a market given Tesla seem to have no interest in releasing local pigtails for anything other than 10A single phase. Would be especially attractive given you'd only need the one pigtail for both (from what I read elsewhere about being able to do single phase on the 3 phase pigtail if you use the appropriate one).
I'm not sure how it all works but I wonder if it would be possible to make up a hydra cable that connects the 3 phases to 3 single phase 10A or 15A plugs. Would give 30km/hr charging from 3 x 10a plugs. I guess provisos would be to ensure all sockets have a common earth...and don't just use a powerboard or stack double adaptors to plug all 3 plugs into? Any sparkies among us that know enough about the internals of tesla 3 phase charging to comment?I can confirm that connecting Line 1 on the 3 phase adapter for the UMC works to provide 16 amp single phase. So 4 amps/ hour. Now, a number of inline connectors and appropriate sized cable and plugs will allow a reasonably priced suite of connectors and so give anything from 32, 20,15 amps, 3 phase or single at a maximum of 16 amps per phase.

Unfortunately that's not how 3 phase power works. You can't just plug in to 3 outlets and get '3 phase', most domestic buildings have all outlets on a single phase. In 3 phase power each phase has the AC voltage waveform offset from the others by 120 degrees, and the Tesla charger would expect to see a conventional 3 phase relationship I would imagine (when all 3 phases are present).
Actually, the Tesla is happy to see the same phase on all three pins - this is how the blue 32A adapter on the european Tesla UMC manages to do 32A single phase charging on single-charger cars (though as you say, this isn't how 3-phase is normally supposed to work!).
However, the suggested hydra cable has huge safety and logistical problems so is probably still not a good idea even though it would theoretically work under favorable circumstances.

I don't know of any business destination chargers in Warny.Gudday Brewster,
Have you heard if Warrnambool has any destination chargers yet.? I need to the do my Pre Christmas pilgrimage to the customers.
