Maybe then they'll stop selling male to male extension cords
What‽ Why would such a thing exist ??? 🤔
Testing your electrical panel? and how fast the firefighters are to get to your house?
Ob it's far stupider and more deadly: hooking up your personal little generator so you can backfeed electricity to your house during a power outage.
It's even more stupid and deadly than it sounds.
Don't you need one of those to use your tesla as a house generator
There's a specific process and kind of panel you need to back feed power into your home
Basically your panel needs to have it setup so that it can either be powered by the generator or the grid. 1 or the other but never both at the same time.
Um, no. Normally you would use a regular male to female extension cable for that. Your electrical panel would have a male plug on the wall which is specifically wired up to safely provide power to your home.
teslas specifically don't generate electricity
what is going on in this thread?
"As a" implies knowledge that it is not a generator but can effectively be used as one.
