i'll take it off your hands for $25!Giddy with excitement upon buying our first Tesla, we foolishly wasted $100 on a 50 amp extension cable "just in case." We haven't needed it in over six years of ownership.

Nah. I'll hang onto it. I've learned that when I get rid of virtually anything, I invariably need it the next day.
just sayin'
I suggest that an extension cord shouldn't spark at all...Do you only keep items that "spark joy"? If so, I have no clothes left for work.
What! You don't excitement in your life?I suggest that an extension cord shouldn't spark at all...

Interesting point. And true observation. It's why when I need to get rid of something,

I was thinking you might be able to put filters in that would block the data connection needed to negotiate the Supercharger session while allowing J1772 to work just fine.I think there's two schols of thought to make this "supercharger proof"
...
Finally got a response from the company which didnt really answer all my questions. Gonna cut and paste the reply from them:
I have a question about your Tesla extension cable. Clearly, its not to be used on the SC network, but is there a lockout that would prevent someone from doing so, rather it be in software or hardware?
The cable is fused.
*****************
What is the AWG used for this cable?
Besides being available in various lengths, the ELONG™ has three power ratings. The legacy 2008-2011 Roadster requires an adaptor (not supplied). J1772 charge stations require Tesla J1772 adaptor (supplied with every new Tesla car).
32-40 amp - For use with the mobile connector that came with your Tesla vehicle, or public J1772 charge stations that are rated for 40 amps or below, which is most of them. The cable is approximately 0.55 inch (14mm) diameter.
48 amp - for ALL Tesla vehicles, EXCEPT those with upgraded onboard chargers and the legacy Roadster. The cable is approximately 0.58 inch (15mm) diameter. RECOMMENDED FOR MOST TESLA OWNERS.
80 amp - for Tesla vehicles with upgraded onboard chargers. Usually 70, 72, or 80 amps. The cable is approximately 0.95 inch (24mm) diameter, and is the heaviest of the three.
***************
ELONG™ lengths available are as follows:
32-40A - 25 feet / 7.6m and 50 feet / 15.2m
48A - 20 feet / 6.5m and 40ft / 13m
80A - 15 feet / 49m and 30ft / 98m
******************
Custom lengths include a $50 surcharge, plus the cost of the additional cable:
32-40 amp cable only - $5 per each additional foot / 0.3 meter
48 amp cable only - $7.50 per each additional foot / 0.3 meter
80 amp cable only - $10 per each additional foot / 0.3 meter

@Stavesacre21 Thanks for the info! If it's fused it won't burn down the supercharger. Just turn it into a paperweight.
If does sound like a more flexible option over various extension cords on the plug side of the UMC. Plus the option of using it on a J1772 cable (although the adaptor wouldn't be locked to anything).
LOL, hopefully it’s user replaceable
