Hi. I did secure the pigtail adapter that allows me to plug the flexible fast charger that came with my 50e into a 240V outlet and that works fine.

My question is whether anyone is aware of a weather proof cap that can get put on the non-plug end of the pigtail. It is a pain to continuously unplug the plug end from the NEMA outlet (and understand it’s not great to do so over and over), but it’s easy to twist the pigtail on and off of the charger itself. But I don’t want to leave the pigtail dangling without some sort of weather protection, and it didn’t come with any cap from the dealer.

Is anyone aware of such a cap or cover? Thanks.

Unfortunately I’m away from the part for a while. And good luck finding an image online. Got this from another forum here. It is where the pigtail connects to the body of the Flexible Fast Charger.

To make it safer, it might be good to add a shutoff for the receptacle. Does that connector have male or female connections? If male, I'd be worried about having the hot pins accessible without a shutoff. Even female could be an issue but they may be recessed to minimize it.

Measure the OD of that part...something like this might work if you can find it in the desired size. https://www.amazon.com/Prescott-Plas...s%2C118&sr=8-6

Pretty sure they are email on the pigtail side. I will double check when I get home. Appreciate the idea on the cover on Amazon. Will definitely look into the options there once I have the dimensions.
