Yes, you can charge your Tesla while it’s raining. Tesla vehicles have a number of safety features in place to prevent electric shock, even in wet conditions.
The Supercharger and Wall Connector are both weather-resistant, and the car itself has a number of sensors to monitor for any potential problems.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind when charging your Tesla in the rain:
- Avoid charging during a thunderstorm. If there is a chance of lightning, it is best to unplug your car until the storm passes.
- Make sure that the charging cable is properly connected to the car and the charger. You should hear a click when the cable is plugged in securely.
- If you are charging your car at a public charging station, make sure that the station is properly maintained and that the charging cable is not damaged.
If you have any concerns about charging your Tesla in the rain, you can always contact Tesla customer support for assistance.

- Park your car in a sheltered location if possible. This will help to protect the charging cable from the rain.
- Use a drip loop to prevent water from running down the charging cable and into the charging port.
- Dry the charging port and connector before plugging in the cable.
- Inspect the charging cable and connector regularly for signs of damage.
By following these tips, you can safely charge your Tesla in the rain.
