Tesla Motors Club

Just ordered a MR M3 and unfortunately the house I'm renting is so old that we'd need a whole new panel install/upgrade for me to put in the HPWC or a NEMA connector. Landlady didn't seem too moved by my "help me save the environment and improve the resale value of your house" letter so unless I want to spend $3.5k on a rental house I won't be charging at home.


In my home driveway there is a duplex 110 outlet (I think that's what it's called) with 2 standard electrical outlets outside. I'm wondering if there is a way to convert that to 220 and or something else to make use of my home's existing charging when in a pinch or for top ups? I've seen some like transformer/converters online but I'm not sure if/how they're rated or if they work w/ Teslas amperage etc. Until I find a solution there's some superchargers around Los angeles, and a handful of chargepoints etc. so I'll survive. I'm more like a 20 mile a day kind of guy.


Any help would be GREAT!!
