As an electrician and putting one of those chargers up I can say those covers are hard to take off. So probably the electrician broke it and felt bad because Elon signed it 😅.
Good tesla~!!!
If you're an electrician you should know that this ain't a charger
Stian Lunner Bruland whatever 🤣
Balkanac?
Yeah it’s bad and it makes you guilty
The old wall chargers has a dial inside where you can set the charging speed to 20A, 40A, 60A and 80A. so the old chargers are faster.
O
This, set the dial up to 60, it will hit 48 due to your breaker being a 50 amp. You should send that old Elon Musk edition one, keep the face plate! but ill take the charger. I got a Model Y coming :) hehe
Agreed. I saw the insides.
Tesla nerd just saying you smart about tesla's btw
Faster but comes at a risk....
Check the amp setting switch inside the old one. That is likely where the issue was.
Totally agree.
agreed

You actually have 50 Amps instead of 40 A installed judging by the breaker, but if your wiring is only rated up to 40 A, running the charger at 48A will eventually cause the wires to heat up.
If this is the case, most good quality wires can operate at some Amps above its rating, its probably not an issue but defnatly something to keep an eye on.
If someone says they need 40A for their car charger, you install a 50A breaker and wire. If you try to draw 40A on a 40A breaker it will blow.
@@MW-gh3lt based upon the 80% rule or the 125% rule, you are right at 40 amp draw you need a 50 amp breaker and wires. I am concerned about it now pulling 48 amps on a 50 amp breaker and wires.
Assuming he has 6awg wire, the 50A breaker should still protect the wire. When the 48A charging gets too hot, the breaker should trip. I would be more concerned if he put a 60A breaker and kept the same wire. I would advise that he turn the charging amps on the car down to 40. Those extra 8 amps shouldn’t matter with overnight charging. 40A is still plenty fast.
When setting up the wall charger you tell it what size breaker you have. If you are getting 48A then you told it you have a 69A breaker. This is clearly not the case! How did the "licensed electrician" configure your charger for the wrong size breaker? Or did you just select the biggest option like Tim Allen?
Future video of how something caught on fire?
This isn't What's Inside... They didn't break the charger.
WHO KIDNAPPED THEM?
They did break the face plate on the old one. but I'm very disappointed they didn't even bother to point out everything in the old one or the new one. Just a couple quick screen flashes of the guy putting it in and taking the old one off.
In this whole video you learn nothing, you're shown nothing, and you find out the person making the video does not understand the subject at all.

Get those superchargers installed at your house. That would be the coolest thing ever.
Your electrician will laugh at you if you have Superchargers can power 4-5 house
"Hey everyone! Look a new supercharger in St. George!"
(Proceed to have Dan's driveway packed with Teslas)
Amano Yuuji assuming 200A service 1 supercharger would power 10.4houses and if you consider most houses never pull more than 1/4 of their power you are realistically talking 40+houses in the middle of summer with their AC’s on.
V3 supercharger at 800a 390v (50% battery SOC). Good luck getting the service for 312kw in a residential area.
@@Jaker788 that would be funny you get a substation and giant transformer in your yard
Licensed electrician... Yeah flip the breaker before doing stuff.
You know that they turn on the circuit breakers on afterwards 🤨
@@OliberLuu Nothing against the electrician but they opened the Wall charger when it was still powered... Then they flipped the breaker :). Don't know how the rules look over there but first thing you do is flip the breaker / secure if from beeing energized from someone else or by accident / then you make sure that the power is off at the other end....

It’s nice and black.....handle
At about the 4:32 mark you can see you have a 50 amp fuse actually 100 amp depending on how its wired, the old charger has adjustment inside to change the charging rate so you would've been better off keeping the old one and changing the speed
How did you work out 100A depending on how it's wired? it's just a 50A breaker
If it is just 50 it would not have been safe to further increase the current draw.
@@James-gg9lu Oh so it is my mistake, still no need to upgrade though
The wire is not rated for 100A running 100A through it is an extreme fire hazard, that is why there is a breaker in the first place
@@Cameron-or1fr I'm saying he could've run 48 amps through it before, no need to upgrade

NEXT ELECTRICAL EPISODE, STUDY UP ON ELECTRICAL PHRASING A LITTLE MORE. -ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
"220 volts of power"
Love the vid!!! House Tour coming soon??
for what i know the old charger can charge up to 80 amp, but it has a little potentiometer like switch that limits the maximum current, probably the electrician set it to 40 amps to make sure to not burn the cables in the wall.
you should check what gauge are those cables and maybe up the max current (btw you have 50 amps brakers).
I love how you didn’t blur the license plates
oh no they messed up lmao
Did you do any research before you made this video? So much misinformation I don't know where to even begin... This old charger is rated to charge up to 80A continuous max when supplied by a 100A circuit breaker and associated wiring. The new charger is rated to charge up to 48A continuous max when supplied by a 60A circuit breaker and associated wiring. Since your original electrician installed a 50A circuit breaker and wiring, your old charger was limited to 40A continuous which meets electrical codes. Your new charger is now violating electrical codes since you've set it to 48A max with a 50A circuit breaker. This is more than the 80% continuous load requirement.
pfcactuar dude chill this video is just for entertainment nobody gives a frick if u know a lot about Tesla
@@bunnycakec7132 I don't think Tesla creates the electrical codes. This is just following regulations.
calm down dude it's just a vid for kids it doesn't matter about your knowledge
Dude it's not like he did a bunch of research all for a wall charger, you might just be trying to inform people but the way you word it makes it come off as mean.

Y’all could post videos 5 times a day and I would watch every video I get so excited when you guys upload so entertaining!!!!!!
I'm running a 70 amp double poll breaker to the sub panel and a 50 amp to the nema plug. 240v outlet for 50 amp. And yes double poll breaker. Using umc gen 2 and Tesla tap for the bolt EV 2017. And running #6 wire. I bought a spool since I was going to be 100 ft of wire that was going to be run through from the pannel to the garage.

Man these videos are so addicting. I just love seeing what’s inside different stuff.
*Happy Charging* :) The new home chargers look way better.. .
The chargers are limited to what size wire and breaker you have feeding them. The old one has a small dial to set at which breaker size you have and new ones are done through the app I believe.
I love you vids ❤️❤️
When you can afford an 100$K+ car you can usually afford a 500$ accessory
Tesla makes cars that cost 40k lol
Edit: trading in your car for a tesla lowers the price I think. 20k would be the lowest
Your point still stands obviously, just sayin
$500 is a piss in the bucket
Hi from Croatia, great video!
2020:what’s inside a Tesla wall charger. 2021: what’s inside the world
Your breaker is only 50 amps from the video, you should NOT let it draw 48 amps on a 50 amp breaker.
7:30 smh this man really doesn’t understand how electrical current works and what an amp really is.
I know. I thought he knew better than that 😂
NordVPN when Norton sponsors What's Inside's video: I have been defeated.
Hey, I was wondering if you can take apart a Pocket Racer, also I need to see what's inside it and how it works because I took apart my pocket racer and don't remember what wires go where. When you said 32amps or 124volts amps and volts are completely different.
I think this video is going to be electrifying.
Great joke lol
This comment is very shocking
Hard to believe a licensed electrician was watching and didn’t turn off the circuit breaker as the FIRST STEP. It was still live when you removed from brackets and the unit and heavy cables hanging from live wires. Those wires could have easily pulled loose and given up a 220V surprise.
Turn off the breaker FIRST!!!
I bought it for looks too. The new wall charger also connects to WiFi, but that literally does nothing right now other than help with setup. Supposedly future firmware updates will come down. Odd they went to a smaller gauge wire that can charge at half the speed of the older ones, especially when the future will demand quicker charging of bigger batteries.
The new Tesla charger looks like a soap dispenser you see in public bathrooms
I admire the confidence of a man who makes a educational video who never graduated high school.
I want a Tesla but without wall charger for this reason: *standard range is my option*
i legit woke up 10 mintues ago and im already watching a whats inside that was posted 40 minutesa go
Yall are my favorite youtubers
i love how the biggest problem of rich poeple is that the charger can't go as hight as it supposed to.
as a programmer and a big tech geek i have to agree with him, you're telling me that 9h for charging an electric car in 2020 seems good? its like complaining about people complaining about not having 1 gigabit internet in 2020
@@darkceptor44 there is a little difference. You can charge wile you sleep but your internet need to be good now. Also it won't get better after night. Your car tho is charged after night. And going from 40 to 48 ampere will not half the time of charging.
But i have a bigger issue. I don't have a car or a house. I don't even have the money for it. But befor you ask i do have a job
@@vegetayami from 40 to 48 I understand but the fact that it can go up to 80 and Tesla decided not to anymore, that is weird.
The only thing I can think of is if they had accidents with that much amperage and had to limit for everyone, but still.
Don't get me wrong I don't have a car either, I don't even have a desktop just a laptop. But I have to question these things because I know there is better technology.
@@darkceptor44 well i am not electrician or programmer but i can imagine that maybe batteries can't handle it ? At least i heard that from phone batteries if you use another charger than the recomendet ones just because it charge faster it could break the batterie faster. Maybe its the same here ?
vegetayami it’s tough right?
Hi
Hello, first commenter
Ibn Adam 🙋♀️
Hi
You are first
Hello Daniel
On either the new or old wall chargers, do you know if you have to take the male end of the cable and plug it into the wall charger (on the side) when you are not using it or can you just let it hang? I need to know because my space for the wall charger is very limited and I bought that extra cable hanger that I'm hoping to use to hang the cable but not hang it on the wall charger itself. Perhaps someone could enlighten me. Thanks.
This is insane!!! 😯
Killed it bro!!
I love how half these comments don't make sense
doesn't*
Hope you upgraded the breaker to 60 amp...80% continuous load at 48 amps per code.
Nice that he reisolated that red live wire, that was kinda sketchy with it beeing stripped and unisolated ground wire :) had me worried
Glass is glass, and glass can break.
JerryRigEverything?
@@georgevelasco2744 yep
do you have mirrors,water glasses or like windows on your house?Do they break often?how something stuck in the wall that doesnt even move is going to break?
@@darklegend4354 Try dropping ur glass bottle on the floor or hammering ur windows. Will they break?
@@hkcheukk7519 why would you drop something that it's ment to be put and be left alone?
I feel like all this dude talks about is his Tesla 😂😂
Or the broken cover Elon signed?
right, you have a 50 amp service to the garage, which means that 40 amps is the safe rate for your breaker, if you want to do 48 amps you should upgrade your service to 60 amps to maintain the safe 80% consistent draw.
Btw, it’s probably fine, but you only have a 50amp breaker, I would upgrade that to 60amp and make sure your wiring is the appropriate gauge if your going to run 48amp. I just installed one of the older versions of the charger and did exactly that and pulled new wire just to be safe. If you look at the spec sheets they’l tell you the same thing. Stay safe, new charger looks nice! Oh and btw, the reason the old chargers went to 80amp, is so you could daisy chain a second charger from that and split the load (40amp per vehicle) for simultaneous vehicle charging. It was intended for use by small hotels, businesses, bnb’s etc, people with huge garages and lots of Teslas, etc.
Electricity is my guess! (Commented before watching)
..
Its nice to say that but it sadly won't. But at least i hope you have a nice day !
vegetayami not with that attitude 🤔
Me strugeling to get a single Tesla Charger.

You make some of the best content on UA-cam ...
7:40- it’s says out of 48 amps
Who love Tesla
2020: What’s inside a Tesla Charger?
2100: What’s inside the Earth’s Core?
Dan you were only charging at 38 Amps with the old charger. (7:15) It says “38/40” so: 38 amps out of 40 available. Apparently there is a setting inside the old charger that you can set to a higher amperage, but your breakers are rated at 50 so that’s the maximum you can use. (It will probably break after a while on 48 because the wiring gets hot.) the new charger has 48 amps available but I never saw it counting up to that number in this video. So the 48 amps might be available, but assuming your old charger was at 38 amps I don’t think this new model will increase the charging speed and max out before reaching 48 amps.

You guys do the best you tube vids
The old "wall connector" (not charger - the charger is inside the car) was limited to 40A by a selection switch inside it. 40A is correct due to it being on a 50A circuit (80%). The new one should have been limited to 40A during initial setup using the app. 48A is only acceptable if on a 60A circuit.
What’s inside your sons watch history on UA-cam. 😂😂
I just woke up and I'm watching what's inside a couple minutes after they post😄
Jeffrey Moulend I wonder what the average cost to charge a Tesla from 0 to 100 from your home electricity
You guys are the best you tubers ever!!!
I declare that I claim this section
Not gonna lie; I literally had anxiety watching this. The power to the circuit should have been cut before opening the wall charger and you cannot safely increase the load (amperage) without changing the circuit breaker and cable size (unless it was already good enough). Code requires the load only pull 80% continuous of the rated breaker; so for 48 amp continuous load you would need a 60 amp breaker and 4 gauge wire which does not appear to be what was shown in the video. I would get a second opinion from a different electrician unless the breaker/wire changes were done but just not shown in the video.
You should keep the cracked one for your future Cybertruck 😂
I set one up using 4 AWG and only set it too 60 amps because that’s what the customer wanted. There is a dial inside the charger where you can switch it from 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 amps

I charge at work on a 110 volt 20 amp outlet every day, and if I drive a lot I'll charge over night at home on a 15 amp 110. But I investigated the wall charger, and will get one if we get another electric car, i have the 60 amp breaker in my panel already to go, just need to run wire.
You Guys Are The Best! Keep It Up!!
I can hear Tesla yelling at you from here lol
The wire sizing is fine. The breaker being only a 50 amp is the potential problem. If the Tesla is drawing 48, you're at risk of it tripping constantly and the breaker going bad faster than it should. You are only allowed to put 80% of the load of the rating of the breaker. In this case it would be 40 amps.
NOOO!!!! Please read the manual. Your old electrician likely did. The old charger had a dial that you would need to set to match your breaker setting. I believe that it would only take 80% of what breaker you had, so you probably have a 50 amp breaker. You need to connect to it’s WiFi network on the new charger to fully set it up. But I can’t believe that Tesla would let you use the charger at full power without setting it up properly first.
Cool video the new one looks good
This is a Surprise that the new charger charges quicker than the old one. have a Great day Whatsinside
Me and my dad officially call you the Tesla man 😂
There is dip switches In the old charger that was set to 40a i am assuming that that was 6 wire (good for 50a)
we have 12 superchargers about 7 miles from my house in Mt. Shasta off of I-5
You likely had the dip switches inside the old one set to 40AMP. The new one auto sets it based on software you don’t have to manually set it. So since your electrical allowed 48 it set it to 48.
