RVs run on 120v and do not draw that much power. The 14-50 outlet gives them two 50a, 120v circuits. Most of the loads are intermittent. Check out this chart: https://generatordecision.com/rv-power-consumption-chart-printable-pdf/

True but, another very big problem is these outlets are not protected by GFCI circuit breakers. These breakers are mandatory per the NEC for all EV circuits that terminate with a plug. Therefore, technically, you cannot charge at an RV park since almost all of them use standard breakers. So in...

Add a request for mobile service in the request.

If you DIY be sure to buy the battery from Tesla parts, these batteries are not found at your locate shop. They are also relatively cheap. Tesla mobile service is really a good option and is very reasonable. Also by having them do it, if there are any issues they are right there for you!

First you really need to finish the commissioning process! During setup do not select a Vehicle Charging window, for now. Next, if you are using any 3rd party apps remove them. Then go to the “Schedule” screen in the app, under “Departure” make sure everything is off, then check under the...

@JPWhite I think you just learned the hard way to never take your car to a Tesla SC unless you have no other choice. Always take your car to shops that do the work you need day in and day out. For example, Discount Tire rotates tires for free!

I have a “Sight-Line Dashboard Cluster Display (4.5" Rectangular Style)|” from RPM Tesla. The turn signal in the HUD has stopped working, which I have attributed to the latest Tesla update (2024.20.1). Anybody else having similar issues? I know Tesla does not support “3rd party” items, but if...

There are a number of potentials. Please post a screen shot of the app where you see 16A, and also under “schedule” post screen shots of the “Departure” and “Charge” screens. Also, what Tesla adapter are you using e.g. 14-50, 6-50, ??? BTW, if you are using any third party apps, do not use them...

Totally disagree. Never use a Leviton on a EV circuit.

Maybe your WC functions differently, but in the U.S. we can add the WC to the app and easily control it. The only setting we have is to set the allowable charging window. Note it is easy to also turn it off if you really want to charge at peak hours.

It depends on the objective. If the objective is simply to ensure the car only charges during off-peak, then using the setting in the wall connector is the easiest and most reliable method. The SOC then defines the upper limit.

So many posts on this point! For example: Even for LFP charging to 100% is never good for the battery - because in the end it is still a Lithium ion battery. Tesla only recommends charging to 100% because the BMS only accurately predicts SOC and therefore range, when the voltage is maximum. So...

I suggest there is not “right” way since this is a matter of aesthetics. The only potential consideration, that comes to mind, is the “wrong” way could add drag and reduce mileage.

I suggest you have this too complicated. Turn off everything in the Tesla app and only use the settings in the wall connector. This will only allow the car to charge in the off-peak window. If you leave the car set to 80% SOC that is what you will have each morning. BTW, as noted above, if you...
