    Registration Help - Houston TX

    We bought our first Tesla a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to find where to go to complete the registration. I'm a little bit lost, as I've never been to any of these tax offices, and the websites are less than helpful. I've tried calling the numbers listed, but keep getting redirected to the...

    Wall charger installation question

    @Rocky_H After having time to go through everything on here and some other resources, I understand why there's a problem with my configuration. It just really annoys me because when I told the electrician I wanted to have the maximum charging rate available, he upgrade the breaker from 50-60...

    Wall charger installation question

    I had an electrician install the wire for our wall charger. However, I wasn’t done sheet rocking the walls, so I had him just leave the wire un-terminated and he taped up the end. Now that I have the wall finished I went back to wire the charger and found that there are 4 wires and everything...
