NEMA 14-50 install quote

IIRC it pulls about 32 amps with a 14-50. But I'm pretty sure for code purposes you have to use the 50 amp rating when calculating the total load.

You could use a 30 amp breaker and a NEMA 14-30 receptacle. That gets about 22 miles per hour of charge for the Model 3. You'd have to buy the adapter from the Tesla store.

So the 50 amp breaker is really overkill, just needed that high for code? If the actual drain is about 32 amps, will I be ok with my 100 amp service? I will charge mostly at night and I usually don't have the ac too cold then.
