Hi there,
I received a Tesla mobile connector with my Model Y and purchased the NEMA 10-30 adapter to plug into the dryer outlet at my parents' house when I'm there, often taking care of my mom. I'm not an electric engineering expert, but was expecting just below 30A from a NEMA 10-30 outlet - but as you can see from this screenshot, the most I'm getting is 12A - meaning that instead of the 5 or 6 kW of power I'm only getting about 2 or 3.
Any ideas as to what could be happening here? Could this be an issue with the mobile connector, or with the circuits at my parents' house? For context, the weather's been in the 50s (Fahrenheit) so not exceedingly cold.
I'd appreciate your ideas/inputs and apologize if I'm missing something fairly basic here. Happy new year to you all!
