So an 8 hour 120v charge should give the Tesla 3 owner 40 miles of range,
That's about what a typical 1/3-weight-in-lead conversion gets. That works
for conversion owners here on the EVDL, no? Heck, if that's all the driving
you do, then I don't see a big problem, until the day you have to run an
extra errand or otherwise need more range.
>From my understanding, the Tesla 3 comes with a portable EVSE than can plug
into a 14-50 receptacle. So depending on the reaction from others in your
household :-), that's a possible option for those occasional times that you
need more range. ("Range receptacle range?")
Come to that, though, since the standard-battery Tesla 3 comes with a 14-50
connector and has only a 32a charger, why would you even want or need a
garage EVSE? Why not just install a 14-50 "welder" receptacle in the garage
and call it done?
