Yes I upgraded to the twin chargers.
Yes, the Garage 220v is hte breaker (there are 2 connected - so is that 40amps).
<--starting to get confused!
I have an S car and a Roadster and believe very strongly that the 40 amp charge will probably over time be best for the longevity of your batterys.
Its basically why the Roadster has a storage charge, standard charge, range charge and performance charge.
Less over a longer period is obviously already being admitted by TM as they have recommended using standard charge most of the time.
Also if your breaker panel is full, that does not imply that you need a new service.
Simply put....unless you are getting the new charger from Tesla that is to be available probably the end of feb , just have the electrician, which I am, install 2-#6 and a #8 or another #6 for the ground. This will go onto a new separate 2 pole 50 amp breaker in your panel.You do not need a neutral (white cable attached)
Note Title is "Getting HPWC" !
spoke with electrician.. they will come out next week and add a new circuit for the HPWC..
Since that seems to be on back order, here is a question:
given my panel, and the 240v 20a that I have now, there is no outlet.. just a cover plate. What kind of outlet (receptacle) could/should I put in there --- I will keep that as a backup charger for the hpwc.
I don't think Tesla makes any adapters for 20A 240V outlets. And I'm pretty sure it's not legal to install a 30A or 50A outlet on a 20A circuit. What you can do, which is safe and legal, is install a 20A 120V outlet, but that will charge your car very very slowly. (You may have to swap your double pole breaker for a single pole breaker to make this legal. Not sure about that.)
What I suggest, if you want a good fallback option, is just ask the electrician to install a 50A circuit with a NEMA 14-50 outlet. This will probably require a new run of 6 AWG wire, because the wire run for your 20A circuit is almost certainly too thin. But your electrician should know for sure.
