Tesla Motors Club

I live in a house with a 100 amp service and an old panel. My electrician said that he could install a 220v/30 amp outlet that taps into my dryer outlet (or whatever the appropriate term is) on the other side of the house. I couldn't use both at the same time, but that's not a big issue since I only do laundry 1-2x per week.

I have searched, but haven't seen a lot of info on the 220v/30 amp setup (especially when the driveway and the dryer aren't in the same place) - so just a couple of questions:

1. Will the 10-30 adapter (purchased separately) do the trick? I noticed that there seem to be two versions for sale - which one should I buy/what outlet pattern should/will be installed?

2. Does the car automatically know to step down the charging based on 30 amp vs. 50 amp set up?

3. What is the typical charging speed on a LR AWD Model Y?

4. Anything else I should know/consider? My knowledge on this particular subject is (obviously) very limited.

Thanks!
