I've ordered my car with the HPWC and the Dual Chargers. I got a quote from the Tesla recommended electrician in my area today and it just seems high for the job. I asked them to break out the labor and materials but they say they have a simple flat fee to "keep our overhead costs down":
$545.00 base price including 100amp breaker.
$150.00 permit fees
$1020.00 (17/foot for feeder length, based on the 65’ length you provided minus the 5’ included in our base price.)
TOTAL: $1715.00
This doesn't appear to include an upgraded main panel (I already have a 200 Amp panel and at least as I figure the load I have plenty of capacity even if you derate that 200 Amps). I asked him for clarification on this and he didn't respond to that part yet.
This is going in an attached 3 car garage that the whole house panel is in with the HPWC on the bay farthest from the panel (unfortunately the bays are not the same size and the car can only fit in the first or second bays and the second bay is the only bay big enough to hold my truck, so I don't have a lot of choice).
I actually told him 64' feet from the panel, which includes probably at least 2-3 extra feet of slack. The garage is not finished so the wiring runs across the open joists in the ceiling of the garage. I realize that the wiring can be expensive but the $17 per foot cost for the run seems pricy. Especially since I anticipate that it'll be rather easy to run the wiring across the garage. As can be seen in the below pictures:
Wiring coming out of the load center:
Wiring start to cross the joists:
Wires reaching the other side of the garage and heading toward the front to support outlets and lighting on the front of the house:
Where I ultimately want the install done, just below the previous picture. Roughly where the first broom is from the left:
