GLE 450e -> can you use the Tesla charger with priovided adapter?
Mercedes gave me an adapter with the car - to use a Tesla charger. It utilizes both the top and bottom prongs. It does not seem to actually work with Tesla chargers I've tried at various hotels and homes (I've tried multiple different ones). I have tried a different Tesla adapter (the one with just the top prongs, no bottom prongs), and it worked fine at a hotel.
Any thoughts? Did Mercedes give me the wrong adapter to use? Is it meant to be used with superchargers only, and I need a different adapter for Tesla at-home/hotel chargers?
It says on the box that it is not suitable for destination chargers or home wall chargers. That eliminates homes and hotels. That adapter is designed for access to Tesla Superchargers.

It means the adapter will only work with a charger that uses a NACS (North American Charging Standard) plug such as a Tesla Supercharger. The adapter fits on the plug that comes for the charger and makes it compatible with your Mercedes.
