My X charges at about 46 mphWhy doesn't it have the dual charger. From my understanding you can get it to 58 miles per hour of charging.

I am using HPWC set to 80A. The attached picture shows a charging session.Are you using the wall connector or a normal 240 connector. I.e. How many amps are you running to it? Trying to work what to get fitted.

A 50amp @ 240v circuit (most likely a nema 14/50 outlet) will charge at 40A. If you buy the 72A charger for the X, the only way to take full advantage of it would be to buy a HPWC from Tesla and run a 90A or 100A circuit.
There is no need for two chargers at 40A each (total 80A) like the S can have, because the one charger the Signature X has is 72A. You're getting about the same charging capacity the S has with dual chargers, but with one larger charger.Why doesn't it have the dual charger.

To use the full 72A of a Sig X, you will need the HPWC with it's own cable. That device has dip switches that can be set to how much power you want to deliver. Our's was set to 80A, even though the car can only take 72A (which is fine). However, to pull steady 80A (or probably 72A), you will need a 100A breaker. From the breaker box to the HPWC, our electrician used 3 gauge wire.Are you using the portable cable that came with the car or did you purchase the $700 permanent one.
I had one off the official installation guys around and he was quoting to install a 50 amp 240 volts. Which I think it will max out the possible speed. Running the car off normal 120 volt till we get it sorted. Got to run the conduit a long way so I don't want to get it wrong.
I have a free 1" conduit that runs part of the way. Do you know what size conduit you had to use.
No, you don't have to do either. Most people who use the UMC in their garage keep it plugged in and hanging on a wall hook. It's only necessary to take it in the car if you're going out of town. Even then you're unlikely to need it as you don't use it for supercharging or J1772s (but I take it just in case).One other point, we were considering a 50A outlet and not buying the $750 HPWC. However, if you do not have the HPWC, you either have to take your charging cable out of the trunk and plug in both ends and then roll it back up on stow it in the trunk after charging or) buy a second charging cable to leave plugged into the garage outlet for $650. For us, the extra $100 for the HPWC was an easy $100 and we love the convenience and the clean look.

The exterior width of the conduit is 1.5" I do not know how much room is left in the conduit. They may have used a larger conduit than necessary.Max. Thank you so much for this info. Would you happen to know what size conduit was needed to pull the wires through.
Technically, you are of course correct. I just would never give a new EV owner the advice to not have a charging cable with them unless they are going to need it. That adds another level and planning to driving that new EV owners may not be comfortable with and could limit them from a spur of the moment trip outside their range comfort level. This is just my humble opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt.No, you don't have to do either. Most people who use the UMC in their garage keep it plugged in and hanging on a wall hook.
