Hello,
First post! This is an electrical question more out of curiosity -- I will have a certified electrician/contractor come out to investigate, but wanted to pick the forum's brain while waiting.
I am living in a backhouse/ADU with my own dedicated electrical panel/system. My house is fed from a separate feed with its own meter (junction box at owner's house, so I assume it tee-s in there, or maybe I have my own feed... not sure).
The garage is shared with the home owner and her garage is tied into her panel.
Regardless, we both have Tesla Model 3's. Everything has been fine (place is only 2 months old). Charging was working up until yesterday afternoon without a problem.
Last I was unable to charge my car. My car charges for about 30 seconds then the breaker trips. Owner mentioned that hers has been doing something similar. Additionally, she is also unable to charge with a 120V outlet -- trips breaker. I haven't tried that yet.
I felt the breaker in my panel after it tripped and it was warm.
Any idea? I am using a 20A breaker (dont know the wire size -- assume its code compliant since its brand new) with a 6-20 adapter. I have a few other "larger" circuits in my panel (30As) and those have been working fine.
