Get your Tesla detailed here... ElectricJoy. These guys were super nice and only charge $59 for a quick detail. They do a thorough job.

Randy, I just saw you there. I like your paint mod. I navigated there from Sacramento, so it showed up.

Not much has changed as of yet.

I think this SC showed up on my map today. I couldn’t stop to check on it’s status. I believe it showed 12 stalls. If anybody has a sec to check it out...

Open, one spot ICEd but it does say 30 min general parking. Charged at 239mi/hr at 70 kW.

Drive by photo, zoomed in a bit, lol. Drive by photo and I zoomed in a bit, lol.

Signs are up. Some stalls have paint on the ground as well. The workers are tight lipped about an opening date, but a little birdie told me that the power won’t be on until AFTER next week. Let’s hope sooner than later!

The fence was removed this morning, no ICEd spots. I don’t think it was powered up though.

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge. Yes, I believe there will be a growing need for this panel in the future, so I’d rather do it right the first time. The only thing holding me back now would be project budget.

Thanks for the info. Decisions decisions (im already planning on bringing in an electrician) I’d prefer to have less conduit showing in the garage, so I could do conduit in the attic. If so, 3 awg homerun in conduit to to sub to run 2 HPWC’s is ok? If not I could do the non conduit aluminum...

Thanks BD! How big is your circuit breaker? And how many amps are you getting? I chatted with an electrician, he mentioned that new code allows some 4 gague copper wire to run 100 amp. I wonder, if it’s true, it would be thinner for the conduit run and housing. Anyone know about this? Thanks

Great! Yes, the 3 Gague would be less than four feet for each charger, at least ideally. Thanks!

Communicating, exactly. Would I put a disconnect switch at the sub or another 100amp breaker there? Both? I want the potential for either the master or slave to ramp up to 80 amp when possible. My wife mainly uses the local Supercharger so she may not even plug in at home much.

Im set for delivery on a MS85 (duel chargers)in a few weeks. My wife has MS100D. Im thinking about duel HPWC in our finished garage. The panel is ~50-75 feet worth of wire run through the garage attic to location. Im thinking sub panel, then split with conduit to each HPWC. Any thoughts on wich...
