• WHITE: The charge port door is open.
Model 3 is ready to charge and the
connector is not inserted, or the latch is
released and the connector is ready to be
removed.
• BLUE: Model 3 detects that a connector
has been plugged in.
• BLINKING BLUE: Model 3 is
communicating with the connector. Either
Model 3 is preparing to charge, or a
charging session is scheduled to begin at
a specified future time.
• BLINKING GREEN: Charging is in progress.
As Model 3 approaches a full charge, the
frequency of the blinking slows.
• SOLID GREEN: Charging is complete.
• SOLID AMBER: The connector is not fully
plugged in. Realign the connector to the
charge port and insert fully.
• BLINKING AMBER: Model 3 is charging at
a reduced current (AC charging only).
• RED: A fault is detected and charging has
stopped. Check the touchscreen for a fault
message."
Found that in the forums, sounds like that was a quote from the manual. Is the 14-50 plug and adapter fully plugged in so it's flush? the plug fully plugged into the car?
if you're able to pull full amps from the leaf+j1772, you should be able to pull full amps from directly plugging into the 14-50. if it doesn't resolve something possibly may be faulty with the adapter and I'd contact tesla.

The Telsa one (gen 2) can pull 32A, and should with a 14-50 (page 6). It might... dynamically tell how large the breaker is on the circuit (Tesla web page?) ? So, no, at first glance that doesn't add up.
How big is the breaker on each circuit? Any idea what guage wire you have? Any chance it was just hot out / in the sunshine for w/ the 14-50 test charge?
Read through the Troubleshooting (page 11) for which type of light/blinking light(s) you may have.

Telephone
Agent
You can get three different prices for the same policy. Separate distribution channels and incentives. Counter intuitive sometimes. Family auto policy was $1500 cheaper through an agent.
Next year it wasn’t.

Supposedly if you don’t shop around with different insurance companies every 3 years or so you’re paying too much. Insurance companies will slowly increase your rates every year by a bit because people hate going through the work to change companies. I’ve heard they’ve done a lot of research to see how much they can increase each year while retaining customers to make more money and offset the customers they lose from increasing too much.
