    Hot outlet reducing charging speed

    The wire runs very short. He said that’s the reason he used an 8 awg. The circuit panel is literally on the other side of the wall. He would’ve ran a 6 if it was longer than 25 feet. He’s saying the reason it went hot yesterday is because it was an extremely hot day in LA yesterday (110...

    Hot outlet reducing charging speed

    I did not test the cord anywhere else. I don’t know anyone near me where I could test it on short notice. The outlet did get hot, but it was not scoldng hot. Like a bowl of soup hot. That said I only touched it after my model 3 dropped down to 16A of charging due to heat, so it may have cooled...

    Hot outlet reducing charging speed

    For what it’s worth, I did attempt to give him the printout but he declined saying he’s done many of these. I took his word

    Hot outlet reducing charging speed

    32amps. It drops to 16amps when it senses it’s getting too hot. I went to my car to check on it when I kept seeing it drop to 16amps on my app. That’s when I saw the message in the car that I attached on the original post

    Hot outlet reducing charging speed

    I will be extremely annoyed if he asks for more money. I called a few electricians for quotes and told them I wanted a 14-50 installed for my EV. This guy says he’s done a bunch before and gives me the lowest quote of the bunch. I literally picked him BECAUSE of the lowest quote. If he comes...

    Hot outlet reducing charging speed

    Well the electrician used a 8 AWG wire. He insists it’s fine although the agreed to come check out why it’s getting overheated. Anything I can say to win my argument that it’s NOT fine over his professional optimism other than point to my issue or the Tesla instructions?

    Hot outlet reducing charging speed

    Has anyone else received this message? I just had a NEMA 14-50 installed and received this message when I tried charging. Was my electrician just sloppy? If so, what could he have done or didn’t do that is causing this? Or is possibly my UMC?

    My So my M3 broke down 2 days after delivery

    Yeah I got it back a while ago. They comped me a free annual maintenance for my trouble. Car has been great. I’m having some issues currently with one of the door seals coming loose, which is quite annoying and will get it addressed by the service center. Otherwise, no major issues to report...

    Issue with door after tint - Tesla or Tint issue?

    I’m having some issues opening and closing the driver side door. The rubber piece on the side of the door where it latches to the car appears loose, and it’s getting caught when I try to open the door. I push it back in with my finger and it will stick for a while, but then it gets loose again...

    Did Everyone Who Made A Reservation On Day 1 Get A Model Car?

    I got mine. I mean, I hate to complain about a toy but ... I wish it was the same color as my car though.

    Autopilot during rush hour traffic .... a parting of the seas occurs .....

    I just noticed the +/- today after my post and tried it. Didn’t know the scroll worked too though. Thank you!

    Autopilot during rush hour traffic .... a parting of the seas occurs .....

    How do I do that? Sorry first time Tesla owner so apologies if it’s obvious

    What do you dislike most about your Model 3?

    Is it just my car or does everyone need to put a bit of extra muster to close the doors completely. I’ve seen all my passengers shut the door only to realize they didn’t close it hard enough and have to do it again. Also don’t love the door handles. I prefer the S handles.

    Cleaning the seats - what product

    Nope. I suggested it to my wife back when that thread first came up and she reacted the same way a wife would if you told her that her sister was prettier. My dog is clean apparently and any suggestion to treat him lesser than human is cruel
