Did anyone try to charge a Tesla using ‘Porsche mobile charger connect’ ?

Yes I have done that. It works like any other 11kW charger. No problem but I am in Europe and the connector at the car is the same type 2 Mennekes.

North American Porsche Mobile Charge Connect works fine charging a Tesla via the J-1772 adatper Tesla provides with every car.

Thanks Peter!
I’m waiting for my delivery and hope it works with my father’s Tesla.

I tried this evening and every time the Mobile Charger Connect tripped it's breaker. Plugged the cable into my Model 3 and, regardless of amperage (40, 32, 30), it failed. I'm not sure what is happening. Does it still work for you @daveo4EV ?

Just remember that it does not work the other way around.

The Tesla mobile charger somehow doesn’t follow the Mennekes standard and might even damage the charge port if the 3-phase charger is plugged into a non-Tesla, according to Tesla support and some reports.

There are however a few different versions of the Tesla charger, so I’m not sure if this applies to all variants. The Schuko plug seems to work with other vehicles, for example. Also, this does not apply to the Tesla wall charger, which of course works as expected.
