But if, as the 50A (or 60A?) breaker suggests, the circuit is supposed to be supplying 240V, the first thing to check would be to make sure there is in fact 240V at the outlet if not, then it has been wired incorrectly. Your photos don't show what kind of outlet you have, nor do you indicate where in the world you are located. However, it is compatible with both 240V and 120V, and the 8A is consistent with it being plugged into a 120V/15A supply their documentation says it will charge at 3 miles/hour, which works out to about 1 kWh, which at 120V is about 8A. You appear to have the Tesla "Mobile" EVSE, which when attached to a 240V supply should provide much more than 8A of charging. In the case of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), this would be either the charging station itself, or the settings in the vehicle. If you are getting any current at all, the only thing that could be limiting that current is whatever you have plugged into it. The electrical circuits in your home can't restrict the amount of current they deliver, other than to shut off completely if you exceed the threshold for the breaker by a certain amount over a certain amount of time. Only 8 amps come out, and the Tesla charges one-third as fast.
