      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I searched and didn&#039;t find a dedicated thread for this (though there are comment responses here and there) so I&#039;m starting one.  I suspect no one is buying the Charge Point Home Flex for their Tesla as a first option - it requires a J1772 adapter and costs $200 more than the Tesla wall charger.  But many electrical utilities - including mine in Portland - offer rebates for the Charge Point, but not the Tesla.  In my case, after a 15% off Home Depot coupon, the 30% federal tax credit for...<br />

My P3D (build date 9/13/2018, delivery date 10/8/2018) had gotten down to 270.3 miles at 100% charge on January 20, 2020, at about 30,700 miles, which is a loss of 40.8 miles since the car was new.<br />

My JuiceBox 40 cable (the one that connects from the EVSE box to my NEMA 14-50p plug) gets warm when charging my cars. I change a 2017 IONIQ and a 2021 M3. The cable gets warm closer to hot. Not so hot that I cannot hold it, though the closer I get to the plug the hotter it feels.<br />

As a note: I am not referring to the cable that connects to the car, all of the cable, handle and adapter, seem cool to the touch. The issue...<br />

I typically set my charging amps at these locations to 30 - 48 amps, depending upon a variety of factors.

I&#039;m curious because it seems to me that I&#039;m using a lot of power when pre-conditioning the car.  <br />

Not necessarily saying that there&#039;s something wrong, just that it seems like a lot to me.  Maybe I&#039;m doing it too long?<br />

The other day I pre-conditioned for 41 min (TeslaFi) when it was 41F and it used 3.85 kWh (7% battery).  Today it was a similar temp and I only did it for 6 min, using 0.68 kWh (1% battery).  Not...<br />

<br />
Just need some advice. I am going to be needing to charge from home but I live in a newly built (4 years) mid terraced property with an allocated parking space. My allocated space is adjacent to my back garden and is around 18 metres (20 yards) from my patio doors.  I&#039;m not planning on living here really long term and so am loathed to install a proper wall box charger. However, will be needing some sort of charging at home. <br />
<br />
Would you recommend I simply have a 3 pin weather proof...<br />

Car charges in a garage starting a midnight and does sit a few hours before I leave in the morning. Live in So Cal so no freezing temps. No sentry mode or preconditioning.]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Okay, I have an unusual issue here with my charging setup as I plan my purchase of a Model 3 Long Range before March of 2020.<br />
<br />
I&#039;m in a townhome which I co-own with my girlfriend, and the townhome was built in 1990 with obviously no plan in mind for EV charging. I&#039;ve had electricians out to assess the place for upgrades, but it&#039;s looking bleak. Maybe one of you townhome/condo-dwelling Tesla owners has some ideas for workarounds. Maybe some of you are qualified...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;m looking to install Gen 3 charger for my upcoming M3 purpose, I only  need 8&#039; cable now but will need 18&#039; if I buy a second Tesla.  Doesn&#039;t appear Tesla sells the cables separately, are they hard wired or can you swap them out?]]></content:encoded>
