I was going to install a Nema 14-50R receptacle to charge my future Tesla CyberTruck but am posting here because the knowledge is strong amongst the Model 3 folks.
I'm doing the job myself and I've figured out the following based on recommendations from this site: A 50 Amp GFCI breaker on one end and a Bryant 9450FR 14-50R receptacle on the other connected via 6 AWG wire.
My question is specifically about the wire. I understand that XHHW-2 is the best choice but am having a hard time finding it in 6/3 AWG XHHW-2 CU (copper). The local supply shops do not seem to stock it. What is everyone else using? Please post your wire specs that are posted on the wire itself.
Additionally, the receptacle is going to be outside the garage. What "IN USE" enclosures are folks using?
TIA
