Does this also happen on the 2022/2023 models?

Thank you!!

Yes thank you. That's exactly what I was asking about. I thought about using one drive and partitioning, but I wasn't sure if writing to the drive (dash cam) and reading from the same drive (music) at the same time would cause problems or not.

Can I just use the jouwa hub and plug it into the usb in the glove box? I want to use one port for sentry and the other for music.

Do you by any chance use an extension cord?

I'm not sure about the empty space at the bottom. My brother said that's how it was when he bought the home in the 90s. From my understanding, the 10-30 wires got capped off last year when my brother decided to upgrade the air conditioner. So the black wires going into the second breaker are...

Again, I want to thank all of you for taking the time out of your day to help. It really means a lot. I've been driving the same car for almost 20 years. I'm in my 40's now and haven't really kept up to date with all the new tech stuff. I'm excited to be getting a new car.

Thanks Dave. I've never really been the handy man type (failed woodshop in highschool), but i will do my research and see what I can do. If it seems too dangerous, or if I don't feel comfortable doing it, I'll contact an electrician.

I'll have to research it some more to get a better understanding. Thank you for the suggestion.

Okay I'm doing my best to understand you guys. This is all very new to me and I'm still learning. I think I might of misunderstood you.

The panel is pretty far away in the backyard diagonally opposite from the garage.

Unfortunately, I cannot afford to run new wire right now. From what I've read, it can cost thousands. I live in socal, and there are a bunch of chargers near me if needed. My main concern is I don't want to start a fire. I am willing to do a mix of 120v charging along with supercharging if...

I plan to do that. I'll check the outlet and cables for heat. Should it be completely cool, or is there a normal amount of heat? I won't be removing the cord at all. Once plugged in, it will stay there.

Man this forum is great. Lots of helpful advice here. Thank you all so much. The wait begins.

Damn, so I just ordered the car and when selecting the mobile charging unit, I just found out it's 20ft. The outlet to the car will be about 30ft. Should I just stick with the 120v outlet? I'm not sure if extension cords are a good idea or not for the 10-30.

Thank you for the great information. I'll be as safe as possible and will monitor everything as much as I can. My main concern is safety.

Honestly I have no clue how old it is. A lot of this is new to me, so I'm learning as I'm going.

our washer and dryer uses a 120 outlet. The 10-30 would strictly be for charging the car. Since the car does not come with any charger I would buy the mobile charger from tesla. Thanks for the advice Yes that was the plan, and you're right about the wires. They won't reach to the bottom...

Yes that's correct . The 2 wires are terminated with the yellow caps. Thanks, I'll look into it and make sure it can handle continuous 24a load. My other option is to use a normal 110/120 outlet, and I understand it's a slow charge. Work is 13 miles away, so 26 miles round trip. I would...

Okay I will try to replace the outlet. The outlet is just the type of prong setup right? Like I don't need to rewire the house, just replace the outlet? Also, the one labeled dryer is actually being used for something else. An electrician came about a year ago and did some wiring and...

Thanks!! To me it looks like a nema 10-30.

Not sure if any of this would help, but I took some more photos. In one of the photos you'll see 2 called wires. One red and one black. They are not connected. I think I would need to buy a 30amp breaker then hook up the 2 wires. There's also a white wire that's connected to the ground bar.

Thank you so much. So I'll get a multi meter to measure the voltage and check the panel to make sure it has a 30amp breaker.

Thank you. Is there a way to know if it is wired correctly? Our house is pretty old, and my main concern is that I don't start a fire and burn the house down.

I plan on ordering a standard model 3 very soon. We have this outlet in our garage, and just basing it on the photo I think it's a 10-30, but I am not sure. Is this safe to use? My other option is a regular outlet. Thank you.
