It's one thing to swap out a light fixture and another to install something like this. It's also legit irresponsible to encourage first-time DIY electricians to take on a project like this, IMO, so there's that.

My Y just got pushed back 3 days to June 10. I know the estimates are meaningless ATM, but seeing it go backwards just ... hurts.
Minutes after I responded to you saying I never received a text from Tesla ever, I got a text from Tesla requesting to schedule delivery
. Their system is a bit slow and can't keep up with my impatience.Hope you get the text soon.
Don’t wait for them to reach out to you. Call them. They will get things rolling. I told them that I wanted to pick up the same day at 4pm and they arranged it. Got the cashiers check in the Morgan’s then took it in when I went to pick up my car.

$850 for an installation of a wall connector on a 60amp circuit and a fairly good run of wire (pic attached). Not sure how that would compare to an installation of a nema 14-50 . Also not sure if the cost of a nema 14-50 outlet is officially qualified for the EV charging station tax credit, but it probably passes muster. Total cost of the charger and install was $1,350 ~ $945 net of tax credit. I'll take it for a safe system installed by a pro since I have absolutely no business messing around with that much juice.

I did my install when we bought our first EV, 2015 BMW i3 in 2019. Had to run about 70 feet of cable in my crawl space.
Here some pictures.

A friend told me it was easy so that is my plan. She said that Tesla would just have to file the registration with my current plate instead of applying for a new on. When I ordered my Y (5/18) there was an option to say that you were transferring plates so that's what I chose. We'll see if it works...
I had to call the delivery center for them to set up my delivery for tomorrow at 5 pm. Supposedly they are waiting for my temp tags.
I would just call the SC. I had to call and they said--oh, looks like we need to set you up for a delivery. Think they're just swamped
That's what I'm doing. I haven't had a chance to cut power and actually run the wire or install the breaker yet since my wife & I are both teaching from home.I installed mine myself last year when I got my M3. It was super expensive to have someone come and do it so I did it myself - watched a couple YouTube videos and I was good to go. Has been charging my M3 every day for the last 13 months!

It's definitely not...ease up. I'm encouraging people to do research, not necessarily to just start putzing around with 220/240 lines. Watch some youtube videos, do some internet research, see if it makes you feel comfortable. This stuff is not hard. The honest truth is that if someone can learn how to do this stuff in a month at a trade school there's a good chance most people can learn to do it on their own with some research.
I have zero problems paying for things I don't want to do or aren't comfortable doing around my house, but people paying a lot of money for relatively simple tasks just because they thought it was difficult is almost shameful.
I think the standard charging cables are the common 110V ones but you can buy the NEMA 10-30 / 10-50 dryer outlet type adapters on the Tesla stores. I am also planning to use my dryer outlet for a short period of time before investing in an expensive option
I mean, I'm happy for you all but I think I liked this thread better when we were all in the same boat. Haha! Front end date pushed back by a day, which is a daily occurrence now, so I'm at June 1 - June 17th for a Bay Area delivery of a 7 seater white on white.
