Long term use of a Tesla wall charger with a Tesla Tap

I was gifted a mint condition Tesla gen 3 wall charger by a family friend. I want to know if I can use this long term with a Tesla Tap on my 2023 Bolt EUV that I am picking this Monday. I'm not asking about wiring or anything else, just if long term I could cause any damage to my charge port or anything else.

None whatsoever. This has been our home charger for the last five years. The only caution is to make sure the Tesla plug is fully inserted. It is a snug fit in most of these adapters, and you may think it is all the way in when it is not. This will just prevent it from waking up the car, so you will know immediately if it is not all the way in.

Yes 👍 I do and no problems indoors. There was a problem when used exclusively outdoors. Water would eventually penetrate Tesla Tap Mini causing it to not work. I had to bake it in oven (per Tesla Tap instructions) to dry it out. Now I use a $5 flexible gutter downspout to cover connector plus apply dielectric grease.
