Likely the HPWC is configured for 40 amp charging.

Don't know about the hotel situation, but if you understand how split phase power works, you can do this. I do not think this is for the average person. You would need to have two NEMA 5-15 (or 5-20) plugs wired to a NEMA 6-15 (or 6-20) receptacle and then find two outlets in the house that...

Most likely the problem is that the contacts in the NEMA 10-30R connector on the end of the extension cord have developed a high resistance and are causing the heating problem. It is not easy to clean them. Or they also could be worn and are no longer making a tight connection. You said you...

Buy the NEMA 10-30 Tesla adapter, then buy a 10-30 to 14-30 adapter and a 10-30 extension cord: You will need this adapter if the dryer outlet is the newer NEMA 14-30 type...

I believe you when you say you can't install a "faster circuit" but know that even a 15 or 20 amp 240 volt circuit is better than 120 volt charging, and unless the cabin has something like my grandmother's 1920's house, which only had a 30 amp 120 volt service (before it was upgraded to a 240...

^^^^^ This. Exactly correct. But OP says there is just a garage door opener and a few LED bulbs, so in the real world putting in a 30 amp breaker, and charging at 24 amps will cause no problems. Running a hand tool, like an electric drill, due to its short period of operation would not cause...

The MY has everything that people reported above, but the M3 is just so damn cute.

The actual purpose of a GFCI breaker is to protect a person who comes in contact with the non grounded conducto(s)r. For example, a hair dryer that falls into the bath tub. A faulty toaster or other appliance, where the person becomes part of the circuit to ground. Or coming into contact...

Besides the "Juice" question, here is my take on the differences between the Tesla Mobile Connector and the Tesla Wall Connector: For the Mobile Connector: If your home's electrical system has the capacity, you will want to to have a licensed electrician install a 240 volt NEMA 14-50...

I do not know why a Wall Connector should cost any more to install than an 240 volt outlet. Assuming a 60 amp circuit, #6 THHN in conduit (or #6 MC cable) wire, no outlet, no outlet box, no GFCI breaker (just a regular $20 breaker). 50 amp outlet can use #8 THHN in conduit (or #8 MC cable)...

If the L2 at your supermarket is 11 kW you will charge your M3 a significant number of km in 2 hours. That might be enough, or almost enough, for your daily commute. It will depend on temperature and how much Sentry Mode drains the battery. But you said you have L2 at work. Unless it is...

You are a step ahead of most people who live in HOAs as they are willing to work with you. Many if not most are not.

(I just posted this on another similar question, and copied it and am pasting it here for you.) If you want a "portable" EVSE you definitely want to go with the Tesla Mobile Connector. If your home's electrical system has the capacity, you will want to to have a licensed electrician install a...

As stated above MY RWD uses NCA battery -- NOT LPF battery. If you want a "portable" EVSE you definitely want to go with the Tesla Mobile Connector. If your home's electrical system has the capacity, you will want to to have a licensed electrician install a 240 volt NEMA 14-50 receptacle with...

First thing I tried was a long tap and a left and right swipe. But on the Wall Connector charge history; I have solar, but no power wall. You can also download a csv file, but it too does not have vehicle info. You could always add 9% to what the car reports. Do you plan on hooking this to...
