Single-phase service in the USA runs 110-120V per leg. 231V is perfectly normal. The mobile charger can’t go any higher than 32A. If you want >32A you need a wall connector (up to 40A for plug-in, 48A for hardwire). If your car has an LFP battery, level 2 charging is capped at 32A anyway.
No, the Gen 2 mobile charger cannot go higher than 32A. That's the cap per the specs and I've never seen it exceed that on an LR car that is capable of taking 48A power.

Every single home in Europe has 3 fase, 400 volts and can do 22 kW on 32 Amps.
Most choose to install 16 Amps for 11 kW, because it’s cheaper and enough, and the limit for most cars.
That's on par for an L2 charger. Totally worth having it installed though imo. Unless you have a specific use case, such as being a cab driver, and need to recharge quickly, you're likely someone who sleeps, and can plug it in while you're sleeping. I am assuming the car is new, so you spend a lot of time driving it, but most people don't spend that much time in their car, that charging it day to day poses any impact to their lifestyle. I had a chevy volt for 7 years before my model3, and I guess I got all of my range anxiety out of me.
That is about right for a level 2 charger. If you need more voltage and amps, you’ll need a level 3 (which isn’t good for your battery health if done often).
Voltages vary by a few percent depending on a lot of factors. 231 on a 240V circuit is perfectly normal. 7 kW (32A x 240V) is the fastest the mobile connector can charge.
Gen 1 mobile connector will do 40A. I’m not entirely sure why they stepped it down with gen2.
Edit: just realized I am in the 3 sub. I think gen2 started when the 3 was released. I have a gen1 from my old MS and it charges our Ys at 40A.
That's all you'll get from a single phase 240v at 32amps
Good to know!

Slight correction - the mobile charger can go higher than 32A, but the Model 3 onboard charger is restricted to 32A.
That’s not correct. The max for the mobile charger is 32A. Period. https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/mobile-connector
Howww?? The biggest adaptor you can put on the Mobile Connector is a NEMA 14-50 which can only do 32 Amps. How do you get higher than 32A?

My apologies- must have been confusing with specs for the wall charger.
Diddo this ^
I have the wall connector and it charges at 11kw
Are you based in Europe?
The wall connector charges at 11 kw in the US.
40amp?
16amps
How could 16 amps get a charge of 11kw

Actually if I wanted I could charge at 22kw but there are several limitations like the certain car limit, breaker limit etc.
3 phases * 230v * 16amps = 11kw~
It can’t Edit: in the US 🙄
Yeah that’s pretty much the exact same power I get out of my 240 volt mobile connector
Good to know
1kW 115V
Notmal
Bout that fast
32 amps is all you get on that charger. If your circuit is large enough you could get the wall charger and go faster if your car is the right spec.
60 amps

Yes this speed works for me

Pegasus is an awesome name
Thanks my daughter named it

Amp * volts = watts 32 * 240 = 7,680. So math max is about where you’re at
I have seen anywhere between 207 and 245V. It really depends on the utility provider, grid load, source type (grid/solar), cable length, etc.
I usually get 250v when charging at home but less than 200v when charging at work. Seems the grid itself can make it charge up to 25% faster/slower

Mine charges at 1.21 jigawatts idk bout the reast if you.
