For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

My point is that wouldn't work, unless the car was in park. A Tesla will simply refuse to move if a charger is connected

You 100% can plug in an unpowered mobile connector and drive away. If it's not actually on a circuit, it does not detect it, does not light up, and does not lock the charger (the plastic notch underneath).

As this comment explains, the car can detect a plug that's not connected to anything.

I will verify with an unpowered mobile connector when I get home.
