Why?It does. Now time to install a 240v outlet, if you can.
Why?
There is evidently no need. Spending $500 for a faster charger does make the real cost of electricity go up significantly
True, hey if it works for some one then great! And if others update to Level 2, then even better.First of all, you don't need to buy an additional charger as the unit provided with the car is sufficient. Also, as many have pointed out, the "charger" is in the car and the correct terminology is wall connector.
So maybe his costs will only be $200 for an outlet, or even $40 DIY project. Maybe $1500, in which case he might want to make do.
As to why he would want the faster charging when things are "settled" and "working fine", we don't really know the details of this person's life. If he drives 30-40 "average" then his is just getting bye and some days either he will need more or need to leave the car idle.
I’ve been charging for the past 10 months on a standard 110V wall outlet and it’s been fine. Get about 50-60 miles overnight and more on the weekend ms which is fine for my daily needs. It’s been one of the surprises that this works out and I’ve not felt the urgent need for L2 charging at home.
Yup, I have a basement/crawl space/into garage run and a full main breaker panel for the house, so would also need a new sub breaker panel. Quotes are about $3k. If I'm going to do that I'm also going to add additional 20A circuits for the garage and more exterior lighting at the same time. But, I have only felt the need once for L2 when getting back from a road trip late at about 10% SOC and then commuting the next morning, but it was fine the next day.While it may not be urgent, you might overestimate the actual cost. Depends on your situation, but in some cases all you need is a $10 outlet, $35 Tesla adapter, a breaker and some wire. The electrician will try to rip you off as you have a Tesla. Others need to run 100' of cable through basements and underground, deal with landlords.

Good info. i did rig a 14-30 NEMA outlet on my existing wiring. That was used for my Jacuzzi. Planning to make an extension cord for my 220v, but found out i don't really need it. I used to share my dryer outlet to charge, 2x faster. To much hassle to plug and unplug. In Hawaii, we don't travel long like at the mainland. We are planning to move to Las Vegas later. Thats why i don't want to invest to much to charge my Tesla. Wanna travel later, will retire next year (i hope), 40 years at Pearl Harbor is enough for me. Questions. Would i safe more money on electricity if i use 22v vrs 110/120v? It shouldn't hurt my battery if i use 110v charge (although) it would take twice as long if i used a 220v. Right?
Gee, after watching that video. i no like move. We take things for granted.
