So I thought we would provide our home charging prep experience.
22 MYP on order with EDD 2/5 - 3/5
Started getting quotes the second week of December. We only have one "Tesla approved" electrician near us (actually 2 but seems one is out of business or doesn't take new business).
Guy spent most of the day. I think he did a great job. Looks pretty clean for what he needed to do. Also there was a question asked here so I asked him. The 14-50 is not and does not need to be GFI based on what he said. If this is wrong then I guess Tesla should train their "approved electricians" better.
We did not go with the wall charger. At already $1K I felt the charging amount per hour would be good enough for us. Although it would have looked really cool.
Also contacted our electric company and looks like there are no rebates and our kwh for charging is $.0967. They had a couple flexible options but did not work for us and didn't save much for the offpeak advantage when we would be charging the car.

- Quote 1 from "Tesla" electrician. $990. Needs to run from panel in basement, through brick wall, up along the house in the ground, through another brick wall into the garage and then up and over garage door between 2 garage doors. I am guessing 50 ft or so.
- Second quote from reputable non-Tesla electrician, $1,700.
- Third electrician never showed.
