Charge rate on 100 volt circuit

[Twiglett]

Has anyone in CA actually tested the charge rate with a 120v 15A outlet? There has to be at least one person!

Considering the aero wheels give the LR around 230wh/mi, I have trouble seeing it under 4 mi/hr in typical CA weather.

Charge rate is preset on 120v 15a regardless of car - its 120v * 12 amps (can't get all 15) = 1440 watts
MPH charge rate is only a guide and varies based on you you drive your car.

My M3 is charging at 6-7 mph using a dedicated 120 Volt 20 Amp circuit with the Gen 2 Tesla NEMA 5-20 adapter. Not great, and it’d take me two full days to charge 0-100%, but it’s all I could get at my rental!

Why would you use a aftermarket 5-20 adapter when Tesla sells a 5-20 adapter for like $45?

That’s the one I’m using, sorry if I wasn’t more clear

No, the mph charge rate is shown as rated range. Nothing to do with how you drive. You may not get the rated range when you drive, but that’s another matter.
