The whole point of this post is about how to follow the NEC to have a proper long-term solution. Otherwise, I won't even hire an electrician in the first place and just tap the two 14-30P together. So do you think I am playing? Or, Are you trolling:) -Just kidding

Clearly, not everyone could understand the whole point of the testing. I won't try to argue more which does nothing constructive regarding to the original post. But I would kindly ask you to read the temperature of the hot wire which comes nowhere close to melting down (hello rationale)...

That's the point of the testing. The goal is not to violate the NEC but to see if the 30 amps breaker actually does the job (I shall have clarified that I don't expect the mobile charger to do 32 Amps constant amp draw and I was expecting the 30 breaker would be tripped at that point). The...

Bro, you really need to look into the NEC before starting an argument with the others. I violated no NEC during this test and I would like to learn more if you can find me proof. 1. I have learned the 80% rule is appied only for constant amps draw for 3 hours or more. 2.The requirement of GFCI...

Update(Charging Test Update) - Just got my car delivered and ran a test with it! Hello fellow, I really appreciate all the input as we all learned more than yesterday and I like it. So I just charged the car for around 1 hour and I'm gonna put all the info I collected below, please note these...

Delivery Update 2- Got a message from the advisor that I can pick it up now! MYLR Pearl White Multi-Coat Paint Black and White interior OD: 06/29 ED1: June-July ED2: July18-Aug1 ED3:July 20-July 29 Location: OH (Blue Ash Tesla) VIN Assigned Date: 07/17 VIN:7SAYGDEE3PF830XXX Originally DD: July...

I was told by two electricians that since the mobile charger has an internal GFCI, if you install another GFCI breaker, they will work against each other in some scenarios.

Okay Questions, the 14-50 Adapter on the mobile charger does only pull 30Amps. If that's the case, do you mean the mobile charger still attempt to draw 32 amps? In either case, aren't we suppose to set a 24A constant Amps limit at the Tesla console? Where does the constant 30 Amps come from?

DD Update: Scheduled for delivery on July 24th

Yes, this was wired. I requested a 14-50 with a 50A breaker but they said my mobile charger only goes up to 30Amps so a 30Amps breaker is fine for me. This electrician company was from Tesla's recommended list so I assume they are professional?

Update- After calculating some different approaches as discussed above, I end up hiring an electrician to install a new NEMA14-50 outlet with a 30Amp breaker next to the panel for $300. I am not feeling too comfortable wiring the breaker myself and don't think there is a better solution for the...

Update-Just got my VIN assigned and updated EDD MYLR Pearl White Multi-Coat Paint Black and White interior OD: 06/29 ED1: June-July ED2: July18-Aug1 ED3:July 20-July 29 Location: OH VIN Assigned Date: 07/17 VIN:7SAYGDEE3PF830XXX (I assumed this guarantee the HW4.0 & Matrix headlight right?)

My previous reply was blocked probably because I shared a youtube link. But I was saying the reason why I want to try this is I saw ppl use a Y splitter on the dryer port to charge their EV, while manually avoiding using both at the same time. I would imagine using a splitter is not that...

That makes sense then why people would add a splitter in order to use it!

Sure, will do;) Where is your location? Currently, seems like in Cincinnati Blue Ash, there is a MYLR with blue paint and black interior available right now.

Thank you. I think there may be an even easier way, which is to move the dryer to the charging ev port location, then disconnect one of them when I am using the other.

Well, it's funny as you pointed out. This is the first time I removed the panel cover since the last time the electrician came over to wire the current NEMA14-30P from another outlet, and this is what he left me with. I guess the professional electrician we referring to is not always that...

Guys I need some professional electrical advise. My house has two NEMA 14-30P port but the original owner decides only installed one 30A breaker for both, so one of them does not have any power. The first photo shows the current 30A breaker box with the two 120V hot wires on each pole. What I...
