As posted I had the charger with an 18' cord and needed the 24'. Sophias_dad was going to sell me a 24' for $75 in exchange for the 18'. However, since I purchased my charger about 60 days ago I decided to request an exchange from Tesla sales. Much to my surprise! they agreed to send me a new...

Tom, I didn't realize the return time for chargers are 60 days not 30 days like other things.

Upon purchase of MY I drove 90 miles to have 3m film installed on the front end. It was raining on the drive home and got a chip on the front bumper and the front sensor.. ARRGH!! Tesla wouldn't repaint the front bumper but did replace the sensor. I already had a 60 amp home charger installed...

I live in the North East and have to keep MY outside. A lot of people have put their Evannex cover up for sale. Does this cover not hold up or have other issues as compared to the Tesla outdoor cover? Thanks, Alan

Just picked up my Y at Tesla, Dedham, MA. The trunk and one door were not flush. I made an appt for to fix this. I then drove the car to a detailer who is putting on PPF. There were 3 tiny chips already!! just from the 100 mi drive there. The installer said since they stopped putting lead in the...

Ok I am learning... So even though the installation guide says the charger can use 6awg 90 degree rated wire (THHN), I can't use this because the breakers are only rated to 75 degrees?? Or can I?? Thank Alan

I apologize I think I was misled by a responding post. The above pic of a prev post was a spec sheet of the charger stating the terminal blocks require 12-4 awg. I don't think it has to be wired by the installer. If it does going from #6 to 12-4 doesn't make sense or does it??

I thought I had this. I can use the 90 degree rated 6 awg THHN wire in a metal conduit instead of the romex 4awg. However, the installation guide says to use #4 at the terminal block, copper only. Can I disregard this and use the 6 THHN or does the THHN need to be pigtailed with #4awg...

Thanks much appreciated. My electrician needs to know this. He was insisting on 3 conductors and a ground. I looked at the install manual. Is 2 conductors and a ground posted anywhere on their site or in a doc?

Gen 3 installation guide says to use 6awg. Others can explain why better than me.

Looking at the Gen 3 charger installation guide video it looks like 6/3 cable without a ground is used. Is this correct? Or if it's 6/3 with a ground 6/4? where is the ground hooked up to the charger plate during installation? Picking up my Y next Monday. Thanks Alan
