At a spirited 73, with a love a beautiful cars, we pushed our budget limits and bought a gorgeous like-new 2020 Model 3. WOW!- in Love!!
However, I was shocked at how unhelpful the Tesla website was toward getting up and running, and now am really challenged to figure out what we need to hook up to our outdoor 240 hot tub wiring. I know I need a 10-40 adapter but where and what is best to buy for that connection? My mechanical geezer hubby will want to do the electrical part himself but all things computer/technical fall to me. Currently I’m driving 45 minutes to the fastest San Diego supercharger (Balboa) as the120 at home doesn’t give enough juice. We live inland San Diego and summer is daily 90-100 F and it can freeze a bit here in winter.
I would be SO grateful for a suggestion as to how/where/what to buy and best way to afford SoCal electric rates (1:00-6:00 cheapest rates are not enough charging hours?) I don’t drive far regularly but I’d like the option to enjoy both my remaining years and gorgeous car in the most efficient way. I’m not the genius everybody here seems to be but I would be so very grateful for basic suggestions!!
