It technically will work, but to use a larger EVSE than circuit support, this itself is a code violation. If there is an inspection, it won't pass it. It is for a good reason.
The good reason is, if for any reason, the car's setting is reset, it become very dangerous. This happened to a coworker's Model S. Current limit is reset by OTA update. Fire started that night at 1am when everyone is sleeping. Another possible scenario is if a friend with EV come over and need top off, they can potential draw 40A as well.
