This was very informative! I’m highly considering buying a tesla and im researching all of the things typical car reviews don’t cover.
I'm glad this helped!
Thank you! This video was very informative!
Glad to hear!
Great information. Really appreciate the help
Thanks for watching!
My best guess would be they are trying to get sell all of the inventory of these connectors because they will be obsolete next year with the NA standard going into effect.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking as well
100 ft run, from panel for me. Most installers were quoting $2200 to wire up a 14/50 outlet or hardwire a separately purchased wall connector
What did you end up doing?
@@Myksgarage I later got solar and asked how much they would charge - $1500 installed so I went with them. This is Northern California
I'm seeing quotes around 2k for about 30ft. That's from breaker, up to attic, then to outside of garage.
Remember to check your Electrical panel! Some older homes have 100 amp(or less) panels, so installing a 48 amp charger consumes almost half of your available power.
Yeah good point
Yep. We have to do a new panel, overhead to detached garage, and new sub panel to do it not cheap but needed to do this for heat pump water heater and AC as well.
Definitely my issue! Not trying to drop 4-5k on a 200 amp upgrade and run wire. My 100 amp break is more than enough for my house so it’s an unnecessary upgrade just for an EV
@@tonyfrese6903 our house is old we believe was rewired and updated in the 60s after we recover from this the next things on the list in order are replace zinco sub panel in guest house, replace 4 circuit fuse box that has our doorbell and some low voltage transformers on it, rewire the entire house and add afci circuit breakers.
@@tonyfrese6903I have same issue so can you just plug into wall and charge?
Great clip, thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
I went the universal for future if we ever get a non tesla.
👍
I have the Tesla wall charger and love it...i bought it at best buy...
Yeah they are nice!
Just had a NEMA plug installed for $250. 30 miles in an hour is sufficient.
Nice!!
Hi question for the the mobile connector when charing it from home using the 14 - 50 plug after charge and you disconnect it from your car do you leave the other end of the cable always connected to the plug that your electrician installed on the wall or you remove it and only plug it in when you need to charge ?
I always leave it plugged in. There's no need to take it out when you're not using it.
Im in Shitcago Illinois and so far far i think im getting gouged even to just get a Nema 1450 outlet installed. Originally i was goin to put it outside jus less den 10' from electrical box and i was quoted $1300
Now i decided i want it installed in garage and im estimating that its approx 35-40' from electrical box but i havnt got a quote for that yet. Based on the 1st estimate i got and which was less than 10' from electrical box im thinking its gonna cost at least $2000
Those are crazy prices!
I live in Chicago too with the same issue. Lucky for me that we have by my job which is. 10min walk a DC charger with CCS for our EV Recycling truck and I can use that or use our Charge Point for free that nobody uses
Guys I have a question… my wife has a Tesla Model 3 & she only takes it to work which is only 5 miles a way. But when she comes home it uses up 50 miles of charge. It should only use up 10-15 miles. Why is there such discrepancies? Granted it’s hot in California right now (Over 90-95 degrees) & we have to run the AC. But still why?
Watch this video:

It uses battery power while it’s parked to maintain battery temps. That’s it.
200amp service and panel allocation is full. Do i need to put a subpanel?
I had the same issue, here is what I did:

If you're getting an electrician to install a Nema 1450 Outlet does a permit need to be pulled
My electrician didn't say a permit was needed, but not sure of the regulations in all areas
Hey Myk I have a 2024 model 3 and I do not charge it every day. Is that ok? Am I risking anything by charging only a few times a week?
Thanks!
You'll be fine charging it that way
I wired a 240V plug on the other side of the wall from my exterior garage sub panel. Nema 14-50 plug and some 8/3 wire and a 40 amp breaker was about $45.
Watch some You tube vids and do it yourself. It's not rocket science. Just wear some 10KV gloves and goggles :)
Disclaimer: My wife says I'm a genius but I am really just a smart ass. Being born with the smart ass gene has been sparky at times, but so far, I've lived to tell.
Very nice!
Mobile works well for me atm. Truth be told I’d be thrilled if Tesla offered the option to install a wall charger at time of purchase. Now if Tesla made more improvements to their app to lessen phantom drain.
👍
I can see that being a big liability for Tesla should anything go wrong with the wiring
$300 to wire that outlet?? That's cheap!! Where I live you can't get an electrician to just show up at your house for less that $300 much less do the work!
Where do you live?
One big difference with the Universal Wall Connector:
POWER YOUR HOME DURING AN OUTAGE FOR OVER THREE DAYS USING TESLA POWERSHARE TECHNOLOGY. CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR CYBERTRUCK ONLY
Yeah i mentioned that in the video
I just got a quote for the powershare of $6500 (installation fee only) the Tesla voucher of $2500 covered the universal wall charger and Gateway plus material combined totally of $9000 🖕😳🖕 Needless to say I declined the powershare and am now getting quotes for Nema 1450 outlet or wall charger installation
