My wife had to try charging on a 120V outlet last winter. The plug couldn't even keep up with the battery heating requirements to actually start charging; the battery percentage was going DOWN while plugged in. It was -25°C outside though, so it's a specific situation, but it's actually why she had to try to charge; it's a trip we can easily do without charging in the summer.
Car specific maybe? I was able to charge at -30C outside from a 120V outlet last winter.
Maybe, I know Teslas are a bit power-hungry when parked.
