Wonder how that would work if I just have my electrician install it. They could probably provide an invoice but does he have to be certified? Also do we need to provide a permit for the tax claim?

This is a good point. I didn't realize the outlet itself would cost that much, I thought the most money would go towards labor. I think an outlet with the mobile charger I will come out ahead, but not by much. The nuisance tripping is something to consider too. Cheapest hardwired chargers are...

I did say install with an electrician. Questions I'm asking just asking for myself and knowledge. Sorry if they sound dumb to you. Regarding GFI, I have read the car has built in protection already so having another layer in the outlet would be redundant. Hence why I asked. We plan on leaving...

Mind sharing a link to a ground fault breaker I can use? And also what's the benefit to having one? I was planning on installing just a regular oven or high power appliance outlet in the garage with my shade tree electrician. One last question, is there a cheaper way to get level 2 charging...

Hello everyone. Just picked up a new model X and we're looking into charging solutions. Currently on a regular outlet which isn't ideal :) We have a breaker box located in the garage right near where the car is parked. Question is, would we be able to install a nema 6-50 or 14-50 and just plug...

Comparatively speaking, Tesla holds its value way better than other luxury brands. You can easily find a 3 year old S class or 7 Series for around 40k still in warranty. These cars stickered at 100k when optioned. Meanwhile a 3 year old Model S which started at 90-100k only drops to 55-60k...

I agree with you. Not really concerned about AP version right now. Anything I get will be way more advanced that anything I've had. This is the third car in the family, so it can spend a little time in the shop if needed. But it's intended to be a daily driver that will rack up at least 15-20k...

Thanks for the tip. I took a look at the warranty you referenced and they exclude an awful lot, not sure if that would be an issue. Still a good choice or the only game in town?

I thought I would get more value/size/space/features from a used Model S, that's why I was leaning more towards the S... I'm a big fan of depreciated cars

My daily commute is 120 miles round-trip 4 days a week, plus wherever I go on my weekends and off days. I drive a lot. Probably 20-25k miles a year

Past cars have included a BMW 5 series, Porsche cayenne, Mercedes ML, Jaguar S-type, Audi A6, and some others. When you say any 3 has newer tech than the S, what do you mean? I would think the S, even if it's older is more technically advanced than the 3, unless it's a base model

Main drivers for me are just having an electric car that's kinda quick, has cool features, gets updates, and the big center screen is cool. You do have other manufacturers with electric cars but none are as refined as Tesla.

Ideally I'd like to stick to my formula of 40k max, but I know that may not be practical with this car. I'm all about the value, so my budget is flexible if spending more will get me more for my money. I think anything past 60k would make me uncomfortable

Sorry, one thing I forgot to mention, I'm only looking at dual motor cars. I want the AWD for the winter snow
