    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    Ok I've received an overwhelming response to this again. The few people that are local are in priority and than everyone else. Im going to charge $45 shipped anywhere in the US so I don't have to deal with figuring out shipping quotes to everyone who PM'd me. Sorry if this turns some people off...

    Clipper Creek Universal Pedestal - NIB

    Hey everyone. I have a Clipper Creek pedestal NIB here at the shop that I'd like to sell. Left over from an install that we ended up mounting back to back Tesla chargers on a single pedestal instead of separate pedestals to save the customer some $$. This one is the heavy duty version that is...

    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    Update: Sorry to everyone that sent me a message and posted on here. Life happened and everything has been crazy lately and I'm just able to dedicate some time to getting rid of these. I sold a bunch local and still have 15 or so that I would be willing to send out. I am having a hard time with...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    From my reading the power sharing documentation it seems like it would work identical to the Gen2, just different implementation. In a gen2 if you had one direct wired wall connector and wanted to add a second you would do the following: Interrupt the circuit and set a junction box. Inside that...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    As much as I'd think it would work, the specs on the unit show 200-240VAC input so I'm thinking that 120v is out. I'm surprised since I think there are at least a few people who would use 120v on them for just as you described. The L2/N terminal is most likely for other countries where their...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    New charger looks great. The idea of never having to run 3AWG wire (or even 2AWG for longer runs) sound amazing for electricians. I think this was a smart move on Tesla's part, looks a little easier to install and doesn't seem to have the dip switches which were always a pain. I'd like to know...

    Home charging - fastest route?

    I think I have the reason, there is no NEMA standard for a 40 amp circuit. Often there are 40 amp circuits that are installed on 14-50 receptacles. I'm sure Tesla has gotten complaints that people plug into14-50 receptacles and it trips the circuit. Once the charging is initiated the car would...

    Omar Gosh This is So Wrong

    Hard to watch this. Many many code violations and incorrect statements passed off as facts. Its almost a shame that these installs work because as long as it works people will continue to pass them off as correct. I'm not saying it takes a rocket scientist to install one of these, but if you...

    Greedy electricians - gotta pay them or keep looking?

    The concern if I can't follow the wires 100% of the way is the following: Say the wire goes from the electrical panel, thru a crawl space and than dips up to an outlet in the laundry room that you never use, back down to the crawl space and thru to the outside outlet. Homeowner tells me there...

    Greedy electricians - gotta pay them or keep looking?

    A lot of information going on here. First let me state that I am an electrician and own my own small company so I am going to be biased. As far as the prices quoted in the first post I think those are quite reasonable and most of what the electricians said were true but I would say the...

    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    Update: Much more demand for this than anticipated and I know I don’t have enough for everyone that asked unfortunately. As far as shipping I have ordered some padded envelopes since I could not find any locally that would be large enough. They should arrive tomorrow and I’ll package one up and...

    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    To everyone asking about shipping. I am going to search out padding shipping envelopes this weekend that are large enough to fit the signs. I will be asking $30 plus shipping costs to cover shipping supplies and paypal fees. I have some sold locally and those will be given priority. I'll than...

    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    I was thinking something like that as well. They came shipped to me with a wax type paper separating them which i would probably put between the printed sign and any packaging as well.

    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    A few people have asked the size of these also. These signs measure 12" wide by 18" tall.

    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    Wow didn't expect this much demand to ship them. I don't have a problem shipping them I am just concerned about them getting damaged. They aren't just simple painted metal as most of you know so I don't want anyone to get them in less than perfect condition. I am thinking a padded envelope might...

    Official Tesla Charging Sign $25 Maryland

    I have quite a few Tesla vehicle charging only signs for sale. $25 each in MD. I am an electrician who does a bunch of Tesla Destination chargers and have a few of these laying around and do not currently need so many. These are official signs shipped to me directly from Tesla, not...

    Our Destination Charger Experience at our Business

    Sorry you have experienced this but I can't say I am shocked. I own an electrical contracting company that has installed a lot of destination chargers in the DC/MD area. I unfortunately have to have that conversation with clients that there are going to be people who will abuse your generosity...

    NEMA 14-50 outlet with auto transfer switch?

    I 'd really look into a 200amp service upgrade. 100 amp service isn't much power to have a 40-50 amp continuous duty load such as car charging added to it. Check with the power company on costs. A lot of the time the power company absorbs most of the cost for the upgrades from the meter to the...

    Maryland - Cost of Tesla Wall Charger or NEMA 14-50?

    I'll put in my $0.02 in here from an electrician point of view. Permit will be required with this work in any county in MD (if not any place in the country that has an AHJ) that I've ever worked in. A lot of the times electricians won't worry about a permit with such a small job such as adding a...

    Electrical Contractor from MD here

    I'm not sure I understand what the electrician is speaking about but without knowing all the particulars of the installation I don't want to say what he is proposing is correct or incorrect. Most individual conductors are rated to either 75 or 90 degrees Celsius but there are very few places...

    Electrical Contractor from MD here

    Yes most definitely there would be a price difference between a 60 amp and a 100 amp installation. The largest size of romex wire (which is what is typically used in residential electrical work is 6 gauge wire. This wire is good for 55 amp loads and can be used on a 60 amp breaker only when the...

    Electrical Contractor from MD here

    Thats great that you can charge at work. I think even a 110v outlet at 3-4 miles per hour of range really adds up during an 8 or 9 hour work day and really doesn't cost the workplace too much. Chargepoint are one of the largest networks in the DC area as well. Unfortunately they are quite...

    Electrical Contractor from MD here

    I appreciate the warm welcome everyone. Most of my installs are at hotels with a few restaurants thrown in the mix when the location warrants. I tend to agree with most of everyones comments above. With ranges of EVs getting better and Tesla's in particular in the 200+ range I truly believe...

    Electrical Contractor from MD here

    Just wanted to introduce myself here. I am an electrical contractor that works in the Maryland/DC area for the most part. I am an electric car enthusiast who owns a plug in hybrid but am very interested in buying a Tesla in the near future. I do a lot of charger installs for the Tesla...
