One of my pigtails is 14-50, but I also have a 14-30, 5-15, and TT-30. Attaching the different pigtails to the charger is what signals the charger to lower the amps that it draws.
Defiantly different ways to skin this cat for sure!
With a 14-50 extension cable, I would need adapters for each end of the cable to convert the cable end to the wall socket type (ie 14-30 to 14-50) and then again at the other end for the cable to charger pigtail. With a J-1772 extension, I would avoid all of that.
This is an a great idea. I actually did buy an extension cord to use from the 14-30 outlet to my pigtail. In retrospect, I wish I would have bought a J-1772 extension cable (a 25 foot one is about $190 on Amazon). It would have been a little more expensive, but then I could have extended my...
Thanks! I suspect the 30A pigtails will rarely, if ever, get used, but they give me peace of mind. Plus, I bought them as "open box" on Amazon for $25 each, so it's really cheap insurance.
This is almost my exact "kit" as well:
A Mobile EVSE w/14-50 plug (I bought the Mustart Travelmaster)
TeslaTap (I bought the 60A Mini)
a 6-50 adapter/pig-tail (I bought just the adapter)
Marine shore power adapter
I added 5 and 6 below, because Mustart pigtails are cheap:

Wow, never knew liquid cooled cables existed. That's pretty cool.
So far, I have not had any issues handling the cable at EA stations. It has seemed pretty easy to plug into the car. Also, my plug and charge works perfectly. I guess I have just been blessed with good luck on this car...
I negotiated my price with Porsche Austin at the time, then once we agreed on price I put down the deposit. I had them send paperwork showing the price we agreed upon.
Same as the other posters here - I thought it sounded pretty neat for about the fist 5 min of the test drive, then I turned it off as it got annoying. I did not spec it on my car.
For me, it was springing $4,700 for the Black/Bordeaux Red interior OR $4,680 for the 21" CT Design Wheels. I could not do both.
I chose the interior. I figured I could always change the wheels in the future, but pretty tough to change out the interior!
I am interested in the "S" version of the Etron (the SUV, not the Etron-GT sedan).

The car comes standard with the PMC+ which includes the "240 Volt NEMA 14-50 supply cable for Mobile Charger". When you buy the upgraded "Mobile Charger Connect" for $1,120, it also comes with the 14-50 supply cable as standard. That is why it's not shown as a selection on the configurator...
