nema 14-50

I had my electrician install a nema 14-50 plug to use with the included adapter that came with the model 3. He used a 50 amp breaker and 6/3 wire. After the install, he used a voltage meter on the plug and both sides were reading 120V, so 240V total. It clearly has enough power. However, when I...

Hi Everyone, I'm sure I'm eagerly waiting for my Model 3, like many of you. While I wait, I am trying to plan out charging for the car but I have some challenges. I live in an apartment building downtown and dealing with strata will likely be a little bit of a hassle. There is a public...

Hi guys, Need some help. I've gotten two quotes on a NEMA 14-50 install that appear to conflict with each other. One electrician is saying that I can put a 40Amp 14-50 outlet without any upgrades to my panel, the other is saying I can only do 20A with the current load. I have an existing 120V...

I started talking to a company about solar panels on the house and they have put together a proposal (I haven't seen yet -- meeting is set for tomorrow) that includes an EV charger with the inverter. Some basic info for the inverter's charger (more details in the link above): 240V at 40amps...

My garage is in the basement and if I'm not good about cleaning up the leaves in my trenched driveway then then can clog up the storm drain if it rains hard. Once a year or so I end up with some water in my garage — never fun. After several months of charging via 120V on an extension cord, I...

I've had two electricians come to scope out work on my townhome installation. The first claimed I only had 20amps available but the other claimed I had 50. My heating and stove are gas-powered. How do I know which to trust? If I use the UMC with a NEMA 14-50, will the car automatically use...

I've had my MS 75 since March 18. I have a NEMA 14-50 with the charger that came with the car. It has always used 40A. I noticed yesterday it took a longer time to charge overnight. This morning I noticed that the setting or my charger at been reduced from 40A To 30A. Curious if the last...

How hard is it to install nema 14-50 by myself? And also, what things should I prepare for it? The panel are inside the house, but there are already hole on the wall, just wonder how hard is it to do it myself as no experience in those kind of electricity work. But I am a engineer major. I...

So my house was built about one year ago so i'm assuming all the wiring is up to code etc. Anyways i was planning on installing my nema 14-50 outlet and i saw in my subpanel that the entire house is basically on 20A circuits, but every outlet in my house is a nema 5-15 outlet. Since they're...

My wife is about to take our first long trip in the Tesla to go to a meeting in Houston. Return trip is not an issue since she has plenty of places to stop off if it range gets hairy (spring, huntsville, corsicana). But on the trip down she would like to minimize supercharger to arrive...

I recently decided it's time to update my current setup in the garage. I currently have a NEMA 14-50R installed, wired directly to my main panel in the basement, into which I plug my UMC. Additionally, my garage has a single 120V outlet and two single light bulbs on the ceiling. Since these are...

I'm preparing to embark on a road trip from California to the Northwest. Undoubtedly, I'll be using the Washer/Dryer 14-50 outlets of friends to charge my X. Keeping in mind that I have the High Amperage Upgraded Charging capability, what extension cord would you recommend? Any trial-and-error...

Seems like a pretty simple job for qualified electrician to do. Our box has room for new wiring, so I am wondering why I should pay 30% more to use the recommended installer. Anyone "go rogue" and regret it? As always thanks in advance to this responsive community.

My electrician just arrived at my house to install the NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage. I took a peek at the outlet he brought and wanted to make sure this is a good/right/legit one. Can anyone here confirm please? It's a Leviton NEMA 14-50R, and looks just like this...

I have the standard charging kit that came with my car. Right now it is plugged into my Nema 14-50 plug. I didn't drive my MS today so it is sitting at 80% battery charge. Should I plug I tonight before I go to bed, even though it won't charge? The green light on the unit is on. Is this...

I just wanted to share my findings with this picture. From 4+ days to a bit more than 4+ hours. I just had a NEMA 14-50 plug installed outside of my cottage.

Hi all! Getting our 60S in August! Looking for a reputable electrician in the Orlando area for a NEMA 14-50 install. Got one estimate for 1k from one of the Tesla recommended electrician. Got a bit turned off when they said the price is higher for Tesla vs a different EV. Would appreciate a...

I've made arrangements to charge my P90D at a campground in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They have NEMA 14-50 plug. If my battery is at 20% when I start charging and I plug in at my Tesla 80 AMP home charger, the display states that the charging rate is about 41 miles/hr. If the car battery...

Hi folks, The good news: I'm one of the lucky ducks who ordered their Model S prior to the refresh, but will end up getting a post-refresh vehicle. (I'm very grateful, and am trying not to rub it in, promise!) The tricky bit: In a Model S carrying a single 40A charger, I was leaning towards...

My guess is that this topic has been discusses already, but I can't find it! I have a 90D Model X on order and am preparing my garage. I did not move forward with the 72 amp charger on the X opting for the standard 48 amp charger. I called my DS and he said that a NEMA 14-50 can only deliver...

Will a HPWC crimped with a plug to a NEMA 14-50 socket be safe? I am worried about heat, stability, breaker tripping, fire under 40 Amps This way the NEMA 14-50 can be used as a backup in case the HPWC fails; anyone know the warranty on the HPWC? -OL

Hi - anyone have a need for a Roadster to Nema 14-50 adapter? We returned our leased our roadster & still have the adapter. No use for it now that we got a Model S! It would be ideal if you could pick it up in San Francisco . . . But shipping is not impossible. Best wishes, Joe :biggrin:

I would like to know if it is possible to connect a Level 2 EVSE with a NEMA 14-50 plug such as the Clipper Creek HCS-40P [32 amp EV Charging Station] to a NEMA 14-30 outlet with an adapter like this (http://www.corddepot.com/shop/power-adapter/nema-14-30p-to-14-50r-evse-adapter-cord/) to charge...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had a good idea as to where I could find short 30 amp extension cords (one male end, one female end)... ideally with at least one end having a plug that is in line with the cord (instead of being turned out 90 degrees)... also no more than 10ft in length (the...

My dad was doing some experimenting with the UMC to discover how it determines which adapter is plugged into it. The goal was to get 24 amps from a 120V source without buying the proper adapter from the Tesla store. It turns out that the two communication pins (shown in the picture below) have...
