It appears to be an issue with the specific charger (J1772). I was able to have someone plug me into the adjacent charger and all is good now. Car charges and sleeps properly.

All was fine until 5am on the 27th. Then it started acting weird and only sleeping for 1 minute at a time.

So I'm away for 3 weeks and now with 2 weeks to go my Model 3 is having battery drain issues. I believe its the L2 charger its connected to. When I first plugged it in it wouldn't charge. Then magically a week later it started to charge. Then a few days after it started to charge it won't charge...

Its different for each vehicle. I'd read the owners manual. It tells you exactly what to do. Don't take some internet experts word on it. :) All I can tell you is I got the Konig Summit chains after extensive research. Quality is good and customer service was excellent. I ordered them off Amazon...

Exactly why certain folks here recommended 6/2 MC....

The only issue with auto socks is; I don't see them holding up long term. I'd use them for emergencies situations only. If you'll use them frequently in the winter get something more durable. If chains then check out Konig K-Summit - easy on and off and won't damage wheels.

I don't think you have type of equipment/controlled environment required to calculate the minuscule difference (a few watts maybe?)

I've been waiting for this post!

Correct. But current code IF wiring an OUTLET a GFCI breaker is required if you want to pass inspection. Just trying to say hardwiring is the way to go.

Pretty much every charger is able to be hardwired. Unless you need the outlet for another purpose such as RV or welding, hard wiring is the way to go. Wiring a outlet has more complications such as its required to be on a GFCI breaker (depending on your local code of course).

Why? 4/3 NM-B is $12 a foot and it good for 70 amps. 6/3 MC is $5 a foot and good for 75 amps.

SO and SJ cable? For what?...and two runs of 6/3 vs one run of 4/3? What are you trying to do? You don't need a */3 cable, what you going to do with the neutral wire? You'll quickly realize 40 or 48 amp charge rate isn't as big of deal everyone makes it out to be. The different between charing...

Because certain chargers limit you to 6 awg wire, like the Chargepoint Home Flex. Also, 4awg is a pain to bend and work with. Lastly, 4 awg NM is more like $7 a foot more expensive and 6 awg now days.

Well I got the SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0 microSD Card Reader And it works fine with the 256GB SD card. So Tesla appears to only like certain SD to USB converters.

Having issues with a 256gb sandisk high endurance micro SD card. Tried two usb converters both give error: UI_a111 "dashcam usb drive not plugged into glovebox" However it still appears to record dash cam footage. Tesla provided USB stick works fine.
