Thanks for the info. So Im very sure that all other closets have basic lamp fixtures without any built in outlets in them. Seems that people just screw into the bulb socket another adapter that gives them a 120v no ground 2 prong outlet. (I'll take photo of my old one). So I'm wondering if maybe...

I turned it down to 6 amps. Getting 108 -109 volts @ 2mph. I'll take that since it's better than nothing.

So just now I just tried to set before charging max amps to 5 which is lowest it gets and when connected it gave me 115 volts at the start and about 110 drop a few minutes later. Then with every 1 amp increase it went down in voltage. At 9 amps went down to 104-105. Interesting enough it never...

I'll test out tonight

So the first garage picture you will see my red model 3 all the way at the end. Then the 2nd image continues where first left off and third shows the opposite side of the garage where the electrical room would be behind the wall. So my question is maybe the UMC is dropping it on purpose to safe...

Okay so I have connected it directly and the initial voltage goes to 114v then drops down to 103 and it says that charging speed reduced check extension cord or bad wiring. So I looked at how far away the electrical room is and I'll upload the pictures as well as the inside of it

I also forgot to mention, that there is a bike that is not being used at all so far. Pretty sure it just sits out till it gets warmer out so its always plugged in with some kind of trickle charger, I assume that would affect the voltage drop a decent amount as well. Those are usually 4 amps I...

Thank you for that detailed post. I will try to get some pictures up for you and I will try to direct connect it instead of using extension cord. I know for sure that the amps going to 12/12 for a split second but then it drops down to 9 amps. The building is fairly new like 2006 I think so...

So for it to be safe, i'd need a dedicated line run from the breaker regardless if its 240v or 120v with proper grounded outlet off course? I had an option of having the maintenance guys install a separate 120 volt outlet, but I think it would be just using the same line that's being used by the...

incandescent

I was able to get more information from the maintenance guys, he said the electrical room is over 200 feet away from sure and that the wire that is run starts at 10 gauge but then goes to 12 gauge. It is all 1 line that's running across storage closets and all of them have this socket with a...

Thank you for your feedback, what if I directly connect it without extension cord?

Hi, I own a model 3 and live in a condo that has underground parking. The only outlets that are available for charging are in the storage closet next to my parking spot. The parking itself has like 15 foot ceilings and the outlet that is setup in the closet is this exact model Leviton Porcelain...
