I just bought a Tesla universal (hope I’m not going to regret that) and I’m installing a 40A breaker / #8 TECK-90 to hardwire it (I’m getting a good deal on the work, but the electrician is lazy and is taking too long to do it).
I don’t have a car yet, but I figured it’s better not to put the cart before the horse. There’s a damned good chance the only cars available will be TESLAs anyway, everything else is sold out /pre sold.
Not much more than that…just a baby step towards the future.
PS: I’m the lazy electrician.
You want a 50A breaker.
There’s a damned good chance the only cars available will be TESLAs anyway, everything else is sold out /pre sold.
That is completely untrue unless you are in some obscure part of the United States or are looking for a specialty vehicle.
the only cars available will be TESLAs
No, but it may be the car you want.
Wife loved the eTron until she failed charging on the test drive. She would still rather have the eTton, but has over 100K miles on her Model S. Her dad lives about 1K miles away and she visits 3 times a year, trusting the car and charging is paramount.
