Charging kind of a stupid question

[KenC]

Most of the time I can charge at work on a 240V but when I'm at home I just have a 110V. My question is I keep seeing that people are saying that people should not charge at 100 percent of the Amps because it might trip the breaker. I don't really understand this can someone explain it to me? I feel really stupid but I don't want to get my model 3 and mess it up because I'm charging it wrong at home. I kind of thought it would be easy to just plug it in and start charging but the more I read the more confused I get.

Thanks,

Tony

Presumably, you're plugged into a 15amp circuit, but, by code, the "continuous" amperage it allows is just 80%, so 12amps. That's standard. Your car will do some handshaking when it connects, to check what continuous amperage draw is allowed. You don't have to do anything.
