I'm still waiting on my Y (boooo!); but I'm using this time to get my house in order. I don't have a garage to park in (thanks to Covid,,,it's now my home office). Our Y will be the only electric car. What do you use/suggest for an outdoor charging set up? Also is there any concern for power surges/brownouts while charging?

For outdoor charging what you will want is to get the Tesla "wall connector" with the 18' cable and install it somewhere outdoors within 18 feet of your driveway. That could be on the side of your house, on a shed, or on a home-made post (like a mailbox but a bit sturdier).
Nothing you can do about brownouts, but I've not heard of them being an issue. You can have your electrician install a surge protector for your home if you think that is needed. The car will handle a small surge just fine, not sure about a large one, but I think those are rare.
