Hey everyone. I have a Long Range Model 3 on its way, which is expected to get to me sometime in the next 2 months. I was trying to figure out my charging situation before that. For now, I live in a rented apartment within a pretty nice community and I can have parking something like 15 feet or so from my patio, but the problem is that a large part of this 15 feet isn't covered and is exposed to weather. Right inside my patio door is a regular 120V outlet. My washer/dryer is another 5-10 feet inward, which I am guessing might have a NEMA 14-50 plug in there.
I was originally thinking about getting a long enough, weather-resistant heavy duty extension for the 120V, but with how slow that charging is, I'm looking at options. Since it is a rental in a managed community, getting a new 14-50 outlet installed is a whole giant process so I am trying to find options to work around the existing situation I have, potentially using that dryer plug point somehow. The closest supercharger is 5 miles away which isn't bad at all if it comes to that, but I'm trying to see whether I can make home charging work safely.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
