When a Tesla Model Y owner asked for help diagnosing his home charging problem that nearly caused a fire, he found the help he needed to fix his system.
When a Tesla Model Y owner named Dylan reached out for help in a Facebook group that I moderate, I saw it as a great opportunity to open up a discussion on home charging equipment safety. I reached out to Dylan and asked him if he would allow me to make a video of me diagnosing the issue and then correcting them. For his participation, I would make the necessary repairs to get him back to safely charging his car for free.
Evidently, the previous owner had that for another use, perhaps an outdoor hot tub, and when Dylan bought the house and needed to install the Wall Connector, the electrician he hired used that circuit to go another 60 feet to the garage on the other side of the house. They did use copper wire, but the circuit now had 80 feet of aluminum wire connected to 60 feet of copper wire that led to a disconnect box in the garage next to the Wall Connector.
