It would be better (as in more efficient) to just connect the tesla on a high current breaker (like 30 amps or 50 amps if your line can handle it), and via software just ask the car to charge faster.

I don't know if they are limited in drawing up to 15 amps, or if they allow you to set the current?

Nope. Just a $10 2-pole circuit breaker like this one
