    Converting 5-15 receptacle which is on a 20 amp breaker

    Thanks, and no offense taken; I'd be the first to admit my own doofusity. Will try to answer your points: First, the extension is needed to get to the 'Tesla side' of the garage. The dryer outlet is currently on the 'other car' side. (I have abandoned the 5-20 idea). Then the (20ft) MC will...

    Appreciate all your helpful responses! Assuming my neighbor is free, I'll start on this tomorrow.

    Converting 5-15 receptacle which is on a 20 amp breaker

    OK I think I have my plan (with one qualifier). Will plan to flip the receptacle around (or use the existing wires in a new receptacle). My neighbor knows drywall and will help me with the cutout and patch. Once I see the back of the laundry outlet, am I likely to encounter anything crazy? Will...

    Happy to oblige, but what are we looking for? So I can make sure it is included in the photo.

    Converting 5-15 receptacle which is on a 20 amp breaker

    OK I see. As I want to avoid panel work (not lazy, just not confident), this may not work. Alternate plan: The laundry room is on a shared wall with the garage, and it contains a 14-30 outlet, not in use as the dryer is gas. I thought of tapping into that, passing an extension from laundry to...

    Converting 5-15 receptacle which is on a 20 amp breaker

    Thanks. Considered the 5-20 and may still do so if other plans don't work out. I need to check for 12 ga wire. It does seem to be the only thing on the circuit but will double check. Assuming the two things above check out, do you mean I can use the existing double-pole breaker without...

    Converting 5-15 receptacle which is on a 20 amp breaker

    Hello all, New owner of a Model Y, first new car in 12 years and we are enjoying the heck out of it! I would like to tweak things a little bit in the house to fully realize the EV experience though. We have a fairly modern home with a 225 amp box with a 200 amp breaker. Not sure this is...

    Are you going to try to get it fixed? If so, what are they telling you is the solution?

    Model Y AWD Delivery day. Two small issues.

    I have the same issue with the door on my 3 week old MY, or at least I think it's the same issue. It closes with what I can best describe as a 'secondary' sound that follows a split-second after the first, something similar (but not exactly like) the sound a normal car door makes when it is...
