It remains to be seen. We might see a flood of HPWC in the aftermarket by people who want the twin chargers but don't want to pay the "retrofit premium" for them.Whoever bought the HPWC on Ebay sure got a good deal at $750!

I still think this bundle is a bad idea that forces people to make a decision they didn't have to make before. What happened to "optionality", Elon?
Hopefully, they will back off on this soon.
Your panel is 100amps, thats for the entire house. The HPWC can draw 40-100amps which would overload your panel. Have an electrician in to do a load test, and that will determine if you even have enough room for a 14-50 at 50amps. Hope that helps.
Then how do the twin chargers work? It says 80A in the calculator. I guess this allows going to commercial places that charge up if I can't at my house?
Reasons I bought the HPWC.
1) I expect Tesla will offer larger battery packs in the future (85 kWh -> 100 kWh).
2) There are no plans for Superchargers anywhere near me.
3) I would like to keep the mobile charging cable in the car - not connecting and disconnecting each time I take a trip.
4) I had already installed the infrastructure to support my Nissan LEAF and solar panels.
5) There are 70 Amp J1772 chargers in locations where I don't see any Superchargers scheduled to be installed. California and Canada are examples.
6) Tesla Stores and Service centers offer 70 Amp J1772.
