SR+ and Home Charger 220

[tinacap]

I have an electrician adding a 220 line to my home for a Tesla Charger for my SR+. Is the new Gen 3 Charger from Tesla Ok to use with an SR+? I know that it is overkill for my car (just don’t want to hurt the car) and want to plan for future when we purchase a long range down the road.

Yes, it is fine. It the max charge rate is 32amps for your car, but the wall connector works fine with it.

Yes, all the Tesla connectors are compatible. It is foolproof, just like an electrical socket, but smarter.

The main advantage of the wall connector is how it looks and mounts to the wall. It also has future power sharing capabilities, is outdoor safe, and lets you keep your mobile connector in the car. The the extra 16% of charge speed for the LR is not the main selling point I think.

Wait. With the Wall Connector, the Model 3 charges at 48 amps doesn't it? I know my Tesla charges at 48 amps. It is the portable UMC that comes with the car that is limited to 32 amps.

The SR+ has a limited charge rate.

Max 32 amps on SR plus.

They use different sized onboard chargers in the car depending on the battery size they came with, so there isn't just one charging rate for the Model 3. The short range and mid range had an onboard charger that could only use 32 amp max. The long range batteries come with the 48 amp charger inside.
