Yeah, I was just looking at those. Do you have a '23 5-seat Fremont build?

Seems Tesla still hasn't actually fixed this issue. I have a 2023 Model Y, 5 seater, “full carpet” trunk. I ordered the “full carpet” storage bins, but the one on the passenger side still doesn’t fit correctly. The rubber bin part fits, but the lid does not. The P/N on the box I received is...

Folks arguing this is "pathetic" or unnecessary in any way have failed to realize that someone will now actually be able to drive from Madison to Stevens Point and back in the winter without an issue. There are zero SuC's on this 110 mile stretch or anywhere near Point, so a R/T at 220 miles is...

I've literally seen posts from folks saying they had a 50A breaker trip after charging at 48A for several hours. (Yes, they were told that they needed to change it to a 40A limit or a 60A circuit.) I've also seen properly rated breakers trip if they are in a garage wall that is being baked by...

Oh, sorry, I may have missed the whole story here. If there are NEMA-14 series receptacles, then yes, you must absolutely pull a neutral to the panel and to the connected branch circuits. I was thinking it was hardwired EVSE's based on the original post.

I tried to figure this out some years ago. The answer is... it's up to your AHJ. So call and ask the inspector if it would be approved or not. More than likely, though, they will say no.

My first EMT install, I just bought elbows and couplers. It's super easy if you just need 90's. I think bending PVC is more difficult than using an EMT bender, but just my opinion. :)

I don't see anything particularly wrong, but many things missing, here are a few: - GFCI required in most jurisdictions for receptacles (NEC 2017+). - No mention or discussion of using EMT tradecraft, a very common wiring technique -- more common than PVC, at least in my locale. (Also perhaps...

Strange, I'd think someone in Colorado would know first-hand that rear camera is severely degraded when there's water and/or salt spray on it in the winter... I've been noting recently how useless any vision-based rear parking assist will be most of the winter on my recently ordered Y... Gonna...

In response to earlier posts about the 160 lb limit being only "implied" by the bike rack... Tesla actually directly states a 160 lb limit on their support page here: Model Y Tow Package | Tesla Support "When using the tow package to carry accessories, the 2 x 2 inch (5 x 5 centimeter) square...

14-60 very definitely exists. It's quite rare and it's incredibly surprising that any electrician would have done this. In any case, the correct path is to remove it and hardwire the HPWC. Adding a pigtail plug to the unit is a code violation for other reasons.

It's still a violation to add a cord and plug to a device listed only for hardwired installation.

... except for the part where components inside the WC are not rated higher than 60A, so a fault current of, say, 90A could be dangerous and would not trip the breaker.
