I'm using the mobile connector at an RV park and I can't get more than 6 amps. The voltage is 243, it's a 50 amp plug and breaker. I've made sure the plug is connected well, there are no errors being logged on the truck. App won't let me up the amps past 6. I've tried different plugs around the park with the same results.

Northern North Dakota and I'm too far from a SuperCharger, going to take days at this rate to get enough charge to make it back to one. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

It appears that the plug option cord may not be well connected. Try removing the NEMA 14-50 adapter from the mobile connector and plugging it back in.

It's this piece that unplugs from the mobile adapter
Gen 2 NEMA Adapters (tesla.com)

It's the adapter that sets the first of the two numbers.

If you can't get it to work, you may swap to the standard wall connector and get a little more.

The standard wall adapter charges 12 amps at 110 volts, so the same KW.
