Don't worry. Not charging on it now. I also know how to recommission to lower current as well. the 40A breaker has been swapped for 60A breaker by the electrician. I am still wondering if the wiring is sufficient for 48A actual (60A breaker), or 40A actual (50 A breaker). I am going to...

I"m trying to figure out if: 1. is it safe to charge at 48A or do I need to get someone to make small changes to charge safely at 48A? 2. If not safe, can I turn it down to 40A at the charger as well as get breakers swapped for 40A (so 50A breaker). It isn't totally clear to me.

I will go back and try to verify as much information about the wire when I get a chance. All I know right now, is the electrician told me it is 6 AWG wire. Picture of the wire in case anyone can tell by looking at it, it is the pair of bigger red and black wires.

Of course I had to make a typo while correcting. Sorry, I saw 48/48A, not 40/40A!! I saw 48A and i was surprised the 40A breaker did NOT break. I'm thinking it is a bad breaker.

Thanks so much for the information! To answer your question: Yes, I saw 48/48A, 232V (from voltage drop of the length, I assume that is 240V at the meter). It is a model 3 performance. I don't have an electric stove. Another company calculated that 48A charging is ok for 100A, but they were...

Oh, not sure if I was unclear. I meant yes the Tesla app was shouding 48/48 so I was charging at 48A.

My questions are in the attached picture. -Is there something wrong with changing the 80A breaker to the subpanel, to 100A or 125A, even though it is down stream of the 100A main breaker for the main panel so would never trip? The wire can handle it. Point being that with 80A breaker going to...

Just to clarify, is there no good way to apply the decal, on a car that has already been ceramic coated? I suspect people on amazon complaining that the decal on top of PPF have lost their stickers may have had their cars ceramic coated. Any recommendations for where to put the stickers if you...

Bought on 12/27, still don't have permanent plates now. I have until 3/27 before the temporary plates expire. They told me to wait another week or week and a half. How does it take them so long? Isn't it just paperwork? They should get an intern to do all the paperwork if it is...

Not specifically. I had the issue before the recent weather in the Bay Area, when it was daytime and cool sunny, and night time. It also happens lately with the rains but again it happened before the rains. Thanks for telling me which vhb!

Do you mind telling us exactly which VHB you are using? Is it the 5952? I was thinking, what could I be doing differently from a normal car. I have barely used the brakes since getting the car, because of regenerative braking. So I went out and took some close to limit braking runs. For...

Hi All, This is hard to describe so bear with me. If I brake when reversing, and then switch to drive, the first time I brake going forward I hear a small bang sound. Same goes for if I have been driving forwards and braking, and if I stop, reverse, and the first time I brake after reversing, I...

but yeah 24A is mostly good enough for me too.

but... if you wanted to complete charging even faster to clear your house of EV charging so power could be used for otehr things (say a party so need to use stove, oven, microwave, and washer/drier... then it could be helpful to charge faster so you can more total usage khwr's pulled... So not...

oh cool! i knew someone had to have already thought of this
