Back in May, some Tesla car owners shared a tip to wrap wet towels around the charging handles to reduce temperature and speed up charging.

However, Tesla has recently issued a warning against this practice, stating that it does not improve charging efficiency. On the contrary, it can cause the charger to overheat and lead to potential damage.

In reality, electric car chargers are meticulously designed to prevent water ingress and ensure user safety. Nonetheless, it is advisable to avoid pouring water directly onto areas like the charging port to mitigate any risks to oneself and others when using charging equipment.
