Getting ready for my Model 3

[Garlan Garner]

I've decided to do this as well. My HPWC is going to be delivered on Thursday. I feel pretty confident it'll work fine with my M3 and I wanted to be sure I get the credit.

Really? There is a tax credit for the HPWC?

As a piece of residential EV infrastructure I would imagine the $1000 maximum tax credit would apply.

Yes, there's a 30% credit that currently expires at the end of this year

Hmmm. I had better make a purchase then. I'm concerned about the M3 adapter being different than MS and MX though.

Although I would have a difficult time thinking that the M3 would become exempt from the SC network because of the charging adapter.

Let me think about it.

I'd be extremely surprised if Tesla changed standards so much that any charger that works for a Model S/X would not be compatible with a Model 3. At worst like someone previously mentioned they might add features or reduce the price. That's a chance I'm willing to take.

Yeah, you are right. I think I'm going to take the plunge.

See: IRS form 8911 - ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLE REFUELING PROPERTY CREDIT 2015 for a discussion of the credit. Currently expires at the end of the calendar year.

Likely the same batch! Mine should be delivered on Thursday as well.

Picked up my Leaf yesterday! Already in love with electric driving. Soooo smooth, quiet and it's quick too. It's in the garage now heating up for the short drive to school with the kids.

The range is good for 99% of our daily driving but I can already see how the extra 100 or so miles of range in the 3 will be nice. We will soon be very familiar with all the exact distances of things in our area

So we were headed home at the day with around 50% battery. Trickle charge estimate was showing 18hours to full! We pulled into the local grocery store that has a charging station that accepts the Nissan ezCard for free charging. I plugged into the DC fast charge port and off it went at 100 amps!! Came out about 15 minutes later at it was at 80%. Sweet. Now my over night trickle charge will get me to 100% no problem.

Looks like I will be fine until I get the 220v installed in the garage.
