This error just popped up for me and I'm at 49,500 miles. Anyway to try to clear this myself or just schedule the service center?

Thanks. Haha, I actually ended up receiving 10ft of it and I found it pretty flexible and workable and not any more ugly than PVC or emt conduit. Going to try and do the final installation in a week or so, but gonna spend some time making sure I understand and installation nuances (for example...

I'd like some sanity check myself. I plan to hardwire a charger in my garage, and my electric panel is on the same garage wall, but on the outside of the house. My plan was to just drill a hole directly through the panel to my garage, less than 2 feet of cable, but there is no stud at the...

6/3 wire actually has 3 conductors and 1 ground. So it is 4 wires total

Funny. I was looking through my county requirements to see if I needed to pull a permit to make a new 240v circuit so I could hardware my charger, and it's pretty clear that I do. Yet when I was getting quotes from electricians, both of them said a permit wasn't required. There's no weird...

The charger should be able to do 48A, so I was just going to go with that. And since I don't have to worry about the price of long lengths of wire, I was going to go with the /3 in case I ever decided to put in a 14/50 outlet.. doubtful, but still.

I'll be doing it hardwired since I found a hardwired charger for $200, which would be the price I'd be paying for materials for just a 14-50 outlet (GFCI breaker and receptacle). But you are right that the 4/3 might be hard to find. I'd have to get it online it seems, as my local HD doesn't look...

Hmm, why not Romex? I though the 4/3 was rated for 70A(54A derated) And I'm looking for a Romex because I'll only be taking it through a foot of drywall and no conduit is needed for Romex. See post 748 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7697972/

So I found a charg point home flex for $200 which seems like a good deal as well. The app looks to have a lot of functionality. It's also hardwired and can do up to 50A(48A being the max for my model Y). I have the J1772 adapter. So I'll use that, get a regular 60A breaker (~$20), and get a...

So I found someone will to sell me their gen 2 wall connector for $250. I'm also seeing Gen 3s for $300. I wonder if it's worth the additional $50. Gen 3 has an 18 foot cable instead of 24 feet. And gen 3 is also wireless for extra capabilities. But I'm pretty confident I won't be using any of...

Do you mean gen 3 has the power sharing capability? https://insideevs.com/news/404714/review-tesla-gen3-wall-connector/amp/ I honestly have no plans to need to use it in the future, so I'm fine with a used gen 2 if I can get it for $250. Then all I need is a regular 60A breaker ($17) and a...

I've started looking for used Tesla wall connectors and it seems there are some around me selling for $250-300. I think they are Gen 2 though, but from what I've read that shouldn't be a concern for me.

My mistake. Closer to $200 is probably a better estimate Breaker $120 Recepticle $50 Wall plate and outlet box, ~$20-30

I've actually been using the regular 120v outlet for the last 3 years, but I recently moved into a new house and since the install seemed simple, I thought I would go ahead and make the jump. I plan to mainly charge for free at work, with faster charging at home on weekends when multiple longer...

Interesting. I'm going to have to do a bit more research. With the price of the breaker and receptacle probably ending up close to, or above, $250, I'm highly considering a hardwired solution. The chargers are still so expensive though.
