We're remodeling our house, and in the process are going to build a new garage. Any recommendations on what to install power-wise with an eye towards future proofing? Was thinking two circuits of 240V/50A (2 car garage) to power the model S on order and maybe someday a model X in the next bay.
My general understanding is that 480V is not really doable at home (and isn't good for the battery anyways on a routine basis). Any point in doing more than 50A? Do the economics change meaningfully to do more? Putting in a new 400A service for the house, so not too concerned about total draw. Any safety issues we should worry about/ask our contractor to address at that kind of power draw? (Know some of the Volt issues have reportedly been home wiring issues).
Thanks,
Bill
