I purchased the Tesla to J1772 adapter - Amazon.com: Lectron - Tesla to J1772 Adapter, Max 40A & 250V - Compatible with Tesla High Powered Connector, Destination Charger, and Mobile Connector (White): Automotive

Never know when you might need it.

This is to use a Tesla destination charger when a J1772 level 2 isn't available, correct? Do you think the availability of Tesla destination chargers vs J1772 makes it worthwhile?

I got the 10-30P to 14-50R adapter so I could use my Juicebox when I go visit family (older dryer outlets). But I don't know how common Tesla destination chargers are.

I don't know how common it is in many places, but my work has a Tesla charger in the parking lot because the owner has a Tesla. I know some parking garages have them and some small businesses have them as well.

This is also a good alternative to the tire repair kit if your car didn't come with one - Amazon.com: AirMan ResQ Tire Repair Kit: Automotive

I purchased one and it fits in the same location where the oem kit goes.
