    Chargers on 30a and Seaside Fl panhandle?

    It’s been over a year since I drove my Model 3 down to 30a. The two Tesla chargers at Seaside were damaged-pins damaged and it looked like vandalism. Luckily our rental home had a golf cart plug or we would’ve been in trouble. Don’t want to go through this again. Defuniak springs is a drive...

    We are having sticker shock in advance of our MR model 3 delivery--quoted $5,500 in GA to install 100 amp. We have a detached garage that is 75 yards from the house panel.
