Because you referenced recommendations you had in 2013.
Today, it’s dumb to install a 14-50 outlet.
Of course it will work and you might save a few bucks. But that doesn’t make it a smart choice.
I always try to be 'dumb like a fox!'
in 2002 I remodeled and upgraded
a 100a panel to 200a for other reasons.
relocating breaker box outside of closet
where it was built in 1978 left me with a
run of 6 gauge dryer outlet wire, which I
ran to the garage just because it was there.
installed the dryer plug, not ever thinking
tesla in the future, but thinking 'something?'
fast forward to model 3, changed the dryer plug
to NEMA 14-50 and bought a CMC to affix to
garage wall, and carry the UMC w/14-50 & 5-15
adaptors in the bag, so at home I get 40a CMC
charging or ~35 mph.
I think (as do other model 3 owners) I made a
smart (dumb luck) move, and that was 2002!
NEMA 14-50 rule!
