Charging with the MC120

[TEG]

Tesla's least expensive charging option is the MC120.

This plugs into a 120V NEMA5-15 or NEMA5-20 socket.

They say that it normally charges about 4 miles per hour connected (12amps) resulting in about 48 hours to get a full charge.
If you change the VDS to pull 16 amps (when using NEMA5-20) then you get about 5 miles for every hour connected resulting in about 37 hours to get a full charge.

Moderators, there are discussions about MC120 charging in the NEMA14-50 thread. It might make sense to move those here.

Some of us have replaced the GFCI with this plug. The rubber strain relief from the GFCI will fit in this plug with only a little extra effort when screwing the clam shell back together. This plug is also a little more "share the receptical" friendly.
