Feedback about these two charging cables on Amazon Black Friday?

[MyFirstElectricTesla]

Planning to get either of these two 40A cables to leave them at my sister's house so I don't have to bring the OEM cable with me when visiting them.

- $73.98.

- $75.57.

I keep the mobile charger with a few plug types in the Frunk.

Recently started building out my MOLLE pouch loadout for road triping and being a helpful dad someone might not have. Finally found one that is large enough to fit the OEM mobile charger. Might be able to stuff the adapters in there as well, but I'm opting for a separate pouch in case I buy more adapter ends. Already have added the 20A outlet one for that slight faster charge on 120V outlets (note it tops out at 16A steady-state).

Seems like they have some discounts going on, but I just ordered mine through Amazon and got it in 3 days. I like it for the charging cable because it's made of some bulletproof water resistant material.

In case you aren't aware (like I wasn't): threading MOLLE properly in metal MOLLE panels is a finger destroying endeavor. Wear gloves and take your time. The thickness of the metal means you cannot perfectly weave it like you might expect with MOLLE webbing on a rucksack. I skipped a few rows and it's still on there TIGHT.

I'll make a separate post when I'm all done, but I wanted to take advantage of the unused space and leave the frunk/sub-trunk empty at all times. Next task is a MOLLE foot adapter for an M18 Inflator.

Very nice.

But I want to leave the Amazon BF cables above at their houses: cheap, faster and no need to bring my OEM.

Reviews are pretty good, on the fence to pull the trigger.

Ahh okay, that makes sense. Can't chime in there, very new to EV and Tesla. On something so critical (charging) I'd be leery about non-OEM or big brand. However I also understand that there are plenty of non-Apple/Samsung/Google chargers that charge a phone just fine. Best of luck

I have had good luck with Lectron, they are higher priced but come with a warranty that they stand behind. With level 2 charging- I would go with name brand vs cheap. Rather not burn my CT nor their house.

Even if you get these- have the tesla mobile with adapters with you as a backup.

Definitely interesting product. Most of us used 3rd party CCS adapters with no issues, so why not this one as long as it has the correct chip for temperature monitoring etc.,

If you are trying to decide one versus the other, I can help there. The only difference between the two is what is printed on the outside.

It does appear to be a legit sale.

I don't know if this is much use to you, but I have a 40A charger extension cable from Alxum, it's pretty well made and does the job. The button to open the charge door doesn't work like it does with the Tesla one so you have to open the port manually.

I used to park at our lake house that was at least an hour from any supercharger, I never felt comfortable bringing anything other than the OEM charging set up for the house, just in case something failed. Otherwise I would be stuck in the middle of nowhere Missouri and it’s unlikely I would get help from the neighbors

Agree.

But those are for their houses, not in the wild.

About 40A charging cable, I've been looking for the old Tesla 40A mobile charger with no result. Does any member here know where to get one?
