I have a NEMA 14-30 plug installed in a home with an older and limited amp electrical panel which is almost maxed out. My MS would usually charge with the corresponding Tesla charging adapter at the expected 80% (24 amps). Over the summer, I've noticed on the iPhone app that the charge may start at 24 amps but soon reduce to 12 amps for the duration. I am wondering why this is occuring and whether the summer heat is the reason since it has regularly been 110-115+ degrees during the day. I do charge overnight, but it is still in the high 90's with retained heat in the garage likely higher. I do not have any overheating warning.
The electric company (Southern California Edison) has no knowledge of a reduction in output but it may be that the customer service people simply aren't informed. My electrician suggested coming out to check for a loose connection. I will schedule for a checkup, but I suspect that this is not the cause.
Maybe the amp reduction is unrelated to the excessive heat?
Any thoughts?
