So, with the now in production X accepting up to 48 amps standard, and 72 optional...
Can one, theoretically modify a UMC to tell the car it's allowed to pull 48 amps?
So, if you had a NEMA 14-60, rated for 60 amps, and 48 amps is the continuous 80% load of that, and managed to wire it all, and ignoring all safety concerns/etc.
Especially since it's only 8 more amps
COULD this be done?
Why not offer a NEMA 14-60 adapter for the UMC? If you were installed a new outlet in your location, why not select the 60? (assuming appropriate wiring behind it).
Yes I know they don't sell one, yes I know electricity is dangerous, that's why I always check for power by licking the black wire.
So... who's gonna try it first?
