New model S owner asking the experts for their opinions. I know that the included UMC is all I really need and I use while I‘m wintering in FL. At my permanent residence (new construction) I had the license electrician install a 60 amp line into my garage. I’m sure that I can install the HPWC myself after moving in. During my walkthrough of the construction I noticed that the electrician ended the line with a NEMA 14-60 outlet.
My question to the experts is, should I remove the 14-60 plug and hard wire the HPWC like the installation manual says or should I add a NEMA 14-60 pigtail and plug it in? I was expecting to find the cable tucked in a box for me to finish the installation. Now I like the idea of a plug-in that I can remove and take with me if I ever sell the house.
My initial reaction was to remove the outlet and hard wire and the reverse the process if I ever sell the house.
