    When I charge at home do I need to...?

    I have a Bosch L2 charger 30A or 32A, not sure which. I have always manually adjusted the 48A on the app or screen to 30A before plugging in at home. Do I need to adjust it? Will it auto adjust if I just plug it in? My Rivian R1S has no option to adjust amps and I just plug that in and it...

    Tesla Scheduled Charging Overridden

    I think my Model 3 is getting confused as to when to charge. I’ve had a read of similar threads but can’t see my problem. Which is…I can’t seem to deselect departure time. And when I choose scheduled charging it seems to default to departure time charging. My electricity is at its cheapest...

    Wall Connector pin broke off

    I went to go supercharge the other day and noticed a piece of plastic in my charge port. I was able to just slip it out easily and once I got home, noticed that it came from my wall connector. Should I be concerned or is this piece just insignificant? Seems like it’s just to help you line...

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best plan for running power to my wall connector. I live in SoCal. My electrician is coming next week, but I want to have a jump-start and possibly start buying materials ahead of time. My box is a 100 amp panel and only has one more space for a 50 amp double...

    Hi all, I'm a personal assistant and my boss and their spouse each have Tesla's (2021 Model Y and 2021 Model 3) and had a home charger installed before I came on board. The home charger is only charging at 18amps. If you adjust the car to take a charge beyond 18 amps, it charges for 10 minutes...

    Tesla Wall Connector (Level 2 charger) "out of stock" [thread from 2020]

    Not off to a very good start as a new customer. I take delivery next week in Maryland of a Model 3 and the recommended Tesla Wall Connector/Level 2 charger is "out of stock" on the website and at the dealer. But there is a catch. If you use the Tesla recommended electrician, then they will...

    Tesla requires 60A Disconnect switch w/charger?

    I received a quote from a Tesla authorized installer today and he says Tesla requires a 60A disconnect switch within 5’ of the home charger? Is this true? The reason I ask is it added $425.00 to the quote (not including the charger) vs just going with just a 50A and a NEMA 14/50 plug.

    Using 3-phase for faster charging US import Tesla (1-phase).

    This is my approach to build a charger for those, who have Tesla US imports. First I have built that for Nissan Leaf my Wife owns. As these charge via single-phase charger, using 3-phase 16A (typical across Europe) gives no good speed (all you have is 3,3 kW, and phase is fully loaded, so...

    Andersen scraps WiFi?

    The charger we were pretty set on buying, the Andersen A2 Tethered, has suddenly become much less appealing. According to their website, as of July 2019 WiFi is no longer a supported way to connect the charger to the network - only ethernet is supported. We’ve just had our house installed by...

    A great looking home charger for Tesla

    There are quite a few home chargers out there, but there is one particular design which I am fond of - the Andersen A1 Home Charge Point (Premium Home Charge Points For Your Electric Car | Andersen). It fit's the premium Tesla looks and does a decent charge if you want to charge your car at home...

    Tesla Wall Connector - Any way to attach this to a pole coming out of the ground?

    So we're debating wether or not if we should replace our current wall charger with a Tesla Wall Connector, but if we do I would love it if I could move it away from the house and closer to the parking space itself. But to do so I would need to put something in place that the Wall Connector could...

    Tesla Wall Charger installed!

    Just had my Tesla Wall Charger installed in my garage at home. Only one step left.. Delivery of my Model X 90D, hopefully next week! I had the The Electrical Works install it for me. They did a nice clean job. They were recommended through Tesla's website. I highly recommend.

    Solution to charge your Model 3 if you don't have any garage?

    I was walking in my neighborhood (Noe Valley, San Francisco) this morning and came across this plug coming out of the sidewalk. The plus was charging a Mercedes. I guess the owner used the underground pipe to connect the plug to his house. It's a pretty discret solution that doesn't leave a...

    Use HPWC with 14-50 - instructions?

    I'm thinking now I'd like to keep the free supplied adapter cable in the car with me and get the HPWC for home, even though we just installed the 14-50 plug. I don't mind using the HPWC at 40 amps still so was hoping there was a way to just wire it with a plug into the 14-50 outlet instead of...
