My mother lives close to Sanford FL and we have done the trip twice with the kids, not as cheap compared to flying but total cost of trip a little less since no rental car.

Still waiting for my Model Y, or any communication from Tesla when contacted, but I guess that’s par for the course.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;m hoping to get some first-hand input on the federal home EV charger tax credit, which allows homeowners to claim 30% of the cost of EV chargers up to a total $1000 credit (ie, a 30% credit on up to $3333 in costs).  The DOE site simply refers to deducting the cost of &quot;property&quot; used for EV charging.  The consumer-facing sites interpreting the law all say that installation costs are similarly subject to the credit.  In my case, I have a very crowded 100-amp service box, and it seems likely...<br />

<br />
Do you guys think it’s best to have a Tesla wall charger with an adapter for the ID.4 J1772 receptacle? Or is it best to get an EVSE  with J1772 on it and use the adapter for my Tesla. I’m just trying to think what system would be best for this situation.<br />
<br />
 I currently have a Nemah 14-50 outlet in my garage on a 30 amp circuit, that I have the portable Tesla cable plugged into. My garage is a single car...<br />
