Hello All,

I have a question about charging at 110V on my 15A breaker. Is there a smart way to handle the current draw? By default the car is set to maximum power draw can you can turn the current limit down and then plug in your UMC. Sometimes for whatever reason it decides to reset back to high current which trips the breaker.

Example: I have a model Y. I can set it to 10A then plug in my UMC and everything seems fine. It seems to remember where based upon GPS (Knows where my home is).

Example 2: I have a model S loaner vehicle, I went to set it to 10A then plug in UMC but it kept resetting and tripping my breaker. This happened 6-8x before the 10A limit decided to remain.

Is there a reason example 2 doesn't remain at 10A when I set the charging limit? Is there a proper order of operations?
