Living vicariously through you.
Just don’t desert us with your good fortunes and crystal ball please. That’s all I ask.
Yeah how long will it be there? I suddenly recall I have to take a trip to Chicago… in fact I needed to go to Grand Avenue…
We NEED the crystal ball. Do not forsake us.
Ok while I’m waiting for my LR X, I just arrived at the in-laws and excitedly plugged in our LR Y with the mobile charger to the 14-50 outlet, hoping to apply the knowledge I gained in this thread (charge at 80% off the 50 amp circuit, ie 40 amps).
But alas, the Tesla only allows 32 amps!!!
This is an up-to-code brand new 14-50 outlet on a 50-amp breaker.
So yeah, the high power wall connector we have at home, at 44-45 mph range, is substantially superior over the course of a few hours.
So to those who were asking if it’s worth to install a HPWC while waiting on your Model X, here’s a definite YES. Mobile connector caps you at 32 amps.

This is, in fact, an exact example of a situation in which we could really use faster charging because we are about to leave in 1 hr for a destination (the airport) ~70 miles away. If we added 45 miles before leaving we’d be about 90 miles remaining range upon return (probably less with going off route for a restaurant etc) and wouldn’t need to supercharge.Ok while I’m waiting for my LR X, I just arrived at the in-laws and excitedly plugged in our LR Y with the mobile charger to the 14-50 outlet, hoping to apply the knowledge I gained in this thread (charge at 80% off the 50 amp circuit, ie 40 amps).

As it is we’ll be really close to our 20% cutoff below which we won’t go except in extremis, so we’ll probably supercharge rather than cut it so close.
Waiting on my Model X LR RED/white 7 seater 20” and glad we installed a HPWC at home at least….

Your charger is the cheaper Gen2 version. Get the original Gen1 instead to charge at 40A, much more flexible than wall charger.Ok while I’m waiting for my LR X, I just arrived at the in-laws and excitedly plugged in our LR Y with the mobile charger to the 14-50 outlet, hoping to apply the knowledge I gained in this thread (charge at 80% off the 50 amp circuit, ie 40 amps).

I was an original 6 seats order got a vin 11/30 then lost it and just got a new one so we will see if this one sticks. 7SAXCBE58NF3294XX
2/26/21 order date. MSM Black 6 Seat 20" FSD. Did not expect to see anything as it is going into the weekend. Let the Rollercoaster continue. Last vin was a 21 model and started with a 5, now a 22 model with a 7. Who knows. I was thinking they may fix whatever was wrong and give back the ame vin, but guess not.

Didn't have to pay new MSRP on the car when you called back at a later date to switch the color? Or are you already paying the current MSRP?Viner hereGot a text from my SA today. 7SAXCBE50NF3292xx.
