    Is #8 THHN with Tesla Wall Charger Up To Code? (On 50A Breaker)

    No, since you are using a 50A breaker. #6 NM-B is fully compliant with a 50A breaker. Some people try to use #6 NM-B with a 60A breaker, and that's where it isn't compliant with the NEC.

    All discussion of Rivian Automotive

    Right. It's wild how long it is taking to build these adapters. How big is Ford's EV base anyways? 70,000? So maybe 10,000 a month are being made. I don't have enough experience in small manufacturing to know if that's a small or big number. Surely more than one manufacturer can be spun up by...

    Discussion of SpaceX's Government Satellite Network: Starshield

    Yes. They are demonizing SpaceX at all.

    You can buy third party adapters that work from A2Z and Lectron. I have the A2Z one.

    Discussion of SpaceX's Government Satellite Network: Starshield

    I don’t think this means anything. While China is top down “controlled” that only goes so far in such a huge country. You’re going to have different policy responses in different areas by different people.

    Anyone charge at 800V using a Tesla V4 Supercharger?

    As the title says, has this happened yet? I have heard of people charging at CCS stations at 800V with the adapter, but Tesla Supercharger?

    $89 Tera Level 2 Charger on Amazon

    Chinese manufactured goods are getting crazy cheap. They always were cheap, but now that they can sell direct, it’s gotten very weird very fast.

    SpaceX Internet Satellite Network: Starlink

    So, have you seen any evidence of Elon not being able to handle these supposed conflicts of interest? I have seen no impact to Tesla from Elon running SpaceX.

    NEMA 10-30R on a 20A Breaker?

    If you don’t want to move the 10-30 receptacle, or install a new one (both of which I would recommend), then instead of getting a 10-30 extension cord, I’d get a Tesla extension cord, like this one...

    NEMA 10-30R on a 20A Breaker?

    OP, we need a picture especially since your receptacle might not be a 10-30. A TT-30 and a 10-30 look very similar. You can see them on this page: Advice for EV Charging in North America

    NEMA 10-30R on a 20A Breaker?

    D'oh! None of us saw that! You are 100% correct. I think (hope), OP just had a typo.

    NEMA 10-30R on a 20A Breaker?

    Maybe post a picture of what it looks like so we can give you better advice.

    NEMA 10-30R on a 20A Breaker?

    Yes. Presumably you are talking about a double pole breaker, right? I would, however, unscrew the receptacle and make sure it still has 10 gauge wire at the receptacle end and nothing weird was done in between like connecting 10 gauge wire to 12 gauge wire (and thus that's why you have a 20A...

    Is #8 THHN with Tesla Wall Charger Up To Code? (On 50A Breaker)

    What?? They are both hots. Two black wires on a 240V circuit is fine. Doesn’t matter which is which.

    Is #8 THHN with Tesla Wall Charger Up To Code? (On 50A Breaker)

    Yes, 8 gauge THHN in conduit works for 50A. More info: Advice for EV Charging in North America
