I like the idea of the 6-20, but the landlord might not be happy with me. There aren't any single outlet circuits in the garage, so I'd have to disconnect some, that's likely to void our security deposit! I think an extension cord of the appropriate rating connected to the correct outlet is...

Update on my experience with 5-20 charging. Using a 12 AWG 25 ft extension cord and plugging into an official 20 amp outlet in the kitchen (who need a microwave) my Model Y hits 6 miles per hour. On the 15 amp outlet it reaches just 4 mph. Not quite the increase I was hoping for, but 25%...

All good points. I will see if the landlord will cover a 14-50 install in the garage, he said no 2.5 years ago, but now he might be more aware of EVs. The 15A outlets on a 20A circuit in the garage are actually in the ceiling, so my plan was to install a retractable, sprung cord to hold the...

Thanks mate. I ordered some items, looking forward to seeing what charge rate I can achieve.

Appreciate the feedback! I think the only thing hanging off that 20A breaker in the garage is the garage door opener outlets. They are about 15 feet off the ground, so I don't want to have to reset them on a regular basis! They are also 15A outlet types, I don't think there are any 20A outlet...

Question, did you get the same floor mats for the Y or switched to a different brand. I'm looking for mats and trying to decide which brand.

This is some great info. Just received my Model Y Performance a week ago... Was considering a quick 220, since we are in a rental and don't want to install a Nema 14-30 or 14-50. After reading this thread I've decided to just try to use a 20 amp outlet. We have some inside the house, but I...
