Greetings gentlemen,
Six months in and still loving the TTS!
I'm one of those poor souls who doesn't have access to a home charger, so I rely exclusively on Electrify America, and sometimes EVGo and ChargePoint. I've only done DC charging through the passenger-side port thus far. Not too familiar with AC charging via the driver-side port.
I encountered one of these free AC chargers at the mall yesterday. Figured I'd give it a try but was a bit alarmed by the weird plug. Is it supposed to look like that with the metal exposed? I know like when you're plugging in a toaster or desk fan or something with an AC plug, you obviously see the little metal prongs so maybe it's normal, but it just looks kind of sketch for an EV plug so I changed my mind. The metal prongs look crooked to me. Is this the way it's supposed to look? You stick this thing into the driver's side AC port?
