Tesla Motors Club

Hi all! Wanted to get a little advice from the locals here -- and I know Mitch you've got experience with this so I'm hoping you'll chime in :)

At my new place in Arlington, MA (electricity provided by NSTAR), I'm getting maybe 229-232V idle and 215-222 under 40A load (brand new 6 gauge temporary run I installed) I'm upping to 200A service next weekend and will be pulling 80A and I'm pretty sure that's going to cause some problems, perhaps even blow the transformer. I called NSTAR to complain and warn them about my upcoming load a couple weeks ago and they said they'd check and made an explicit note to call me. I haven't heard back. I'll call again tomorrow but wanted to know if there's a better way. I'm just calling the main number and going thru the menu until I find a human.

Suggestions?
