Remote Meter by Tesla

This is something I never saw before; I found it in the Tesla Store's Charging section.

Even if your service is "maxed out" or 100 amps, the aim is to charge as quickly as possible by automatically adjusting the charging current of a Wall Connector based on your home's current consumption.


With the 100 amp service at my former house, this would have worked perfectly. It had circuit breakers, but they were just for branch protection; instead, it utilized a fused disconnect, so I had to be cautious not to operate the AC, oven, stove, dryer, and hot tub all at once for fear of blowing a 100 amp fuse.

Since the product's page is not yet available on Archive.org, it is likely quite new.

Quite intriguing. I am curious as to how this might square with the needs of load calculations and local electrical codes. This is probably tailored to panels with 100A or less of current, however according to load calculations, panels with that amount of current cannot have a 60A breaker installed with the other components.

Considering the video's post date of two years ago, it appears that the product has been around for some time:

If only Supercharger sites had access to comparable videos. I feel like I could develop a whole site by myself after seeing so many of them move from parking lots to open sites, but I'm constantly checking for missing information or specifics.

Your discovery is much appreciated. The long-term effects of this are significant. So that I am not paid for grid electricity while the sun is up, I would want to have a device that just watches the incoming solar power and the departing auto charger. I would like it if they were matched.

Quite intriguing. Some people might find it helpful, but it isn't relevant to me. Gives me the willies.
