With 30 amps you can charge your car for your daily commute and then some. So In your case I would tell the guy to install an 14-30/10-30 outlet on the garage and tell him it's for a lathe or a welding machine so he won't charge you more for getting an EV. after that you can use one of the Tesla...

2007 Chevy Impala 95k, My first car and I'll end up owning it for a year by the time the Tesla Model 3 arrives (hopefully in april)

There are multiple reasons but the most important is that the public can't buy a model 3 in the near future, yes employees and insiders are driving model 3's right now but it's still a version of the car that will likely have some changes, so it would defeat the purpose of showing a version of...

I haven't found any information of current Tesla owners doing the maintenance themselves but I would assume that it should be as difficult or easy as on current vehicles with similar systems. First of all if somebody is going to perform maintenance on an High Voltage System they must have the...

You could do what I will do and is to rent an apartment with a garage, just make sure that the clothes dryer is near the garage. and buy a "dryerbuddy", it's basically taking the same connection that the dryer uses and splits it, so now you can switch between using the dryer or charging your car...

Yes it was a glitch, I can now order both the 10-30 and the 14-30.

Thanks for the link, however I can't buy the 10-30 adapter on that page.(still I can buy the 5-15, 14-50 and 5-20 but not the rest) have you tried to add the adapter to your cart? As far as I know they don't sell the 10-30 adapter since more than a year ago, perhaps this is just an option on...

I forgot to mention that you'll need to "fiddle" with the charge settings on your car since Tesla doesn't sell a 10-30 adapter the car wont limit the current to 24A automatically. Anyways you'll need to change the settings only one (or sometimes more depending on the SW update)

By a third part you could use a "Dryer buddy" search it on bsaelectronics, It's basically an outlet splitter that switches between your dryer and EV charger and you can choose the connections specific to your need.

From the 3 options 120V, 14-50 and wall charger the most sensible choice would be the 14-50 connector because if you get say 5mi/hour and you park your car for 12 hours (both optimistic guesses) you would get 60 mi per day which is fine, but It does not account for traffic, AC, unplanned...

This has been addressed before in other threads but in summary the reason why ICE FWD drive cars behave better on rain/snow is because the weight of the vehicle is mostly on the front (due to the gas engine) and that weight helps the front wheels to gain more traction. In the case of EV's the...

You are right, it's actually a good idea to put the cars in Tesla's locations, let's first calculate how many we would need as a percentage. ((107*3)/400,000)*100=0.08025% If Tesla would be using 321 cars or less than 0.1% of their reservations in showrooms it would greatly pay of capturing 10%...

damm 10/11, I have a youtube channel but I haven't put anything regarding the model 3

Also, printed labels on the controls are not upgrade able via a SW download, so in case that they want to change the controls functions Tesla can just push a software update
