A friend sent this picture to me.  The photo/meme made me laugh for a second- then made me wonder about charging in bad weather.  So, naturally, I had to see what information the Tesla Mobile Connector owner’s manual  provides.  Here’s the answer:

“Warning: Protect the Mobile Connector from moisture, water and foreign objects at all times. If any exist or appear to have corroded or damaged the Mobile Connector, do not use the Mobile Connector. 

Warning: If rain falls during charging, do not allow rain water to run along the length of charge cable, causing the electrical outlet or charging port to become wet. 

Warning: Do not plug the Mobile Connector into an electrical outlet that is submerged in water or covered in snow. If, in this situation, the Mobile Connector is already plugged in and needs to be unplugged, turn off the breaker before unplugging the Mobile Connector”.

As a double safety measure, the charger needs to have communication with the charging port and will not send a current unless it has permission/ is safe to do so.   

Go electric ✌🏼
