I am not an electrician or even close to that trade so I have no idea the Siemens panel would be that much different that that of "standard" panelI have a Siemens panel and cannot find the proper 60amp breaker for my panel. Most shops around here are saying about 2 month waiting period. FFS!
There is no 'standard panel.' Circuit breakers are brand-specific so a Siemens panel can only use Siemens circuit breakers. Likewise for Square D, GE, etc.I am not an electrician or even close to that trade so I have no idea the Siemens panel would be that much different that that of "standard" panel

Not sure what type of Siemens panel you have (or even if they have options), but this website looks to have some. I just googled them, so no idea if they are legit.I have a Siemens panel and cannot find the proper 60amp breaker for my panel. Most shops around here are saying about 2 month waiting period. FFS!
Look pretty good. I assume 260 means 2 poles? 60 AmpNot sure what type of Siemens panel you have (or even if they have options), but this website looks to have some. I just googled them, so no idea if they are legit.
Also, if you’re stuck, could you find a 40A or 50A breaker to tie you over? You can set the Wall connector to smaller breaker sizes, you just have to use the correct wiring for the full power.

Yes in most cases and if they have what we need at the right timeAmazon is a lot cheaper!
could have saved some money on the breaker lol! i used this oneJust wanna share with U guys what my electrician used to install the Gen3 Tesla Charger in my garage. He bought the circuit breaker from our local Lowes store because it did not come on time from Amazon for the installation date. I assume he got the Wirenco 6/2 MC from Amazon but I am not 100% sure
On the subject of pricing of Gen3 , this has been discussed by other members. I bought mine end of March 2022 for $495 USD, but then the electrician was on his family vacation until early May. During that time the price of Gen3 dropped to $400. Last week I emailed Tesla and told them I could have return the unit and re order at lower price but I don't want to do that since it creates more work for all. I asked if Tesla could give me a $95 credits which they agree to do so. Tesla could have said NO but they did not.
Worth a shot if U are in similar situation

This breaker is compatible with 6/2 wiring which is what I have.That breaker is not compatible.
This breaker is compatible with 6/2 wiring which is what I have
Yes. @Tonedog77 - from your posts, you should not be doing this work yourself. I’m not saying this to be condescending but simply out of concern for your safety. Please leave it to a qualified electrician.Just FYI, this is not relevant to the breaker, breaker compatibility is a function of the breaker box. This will work with 6/2 or 6/3 wiring.
Correct. The only difference is the warranty which is what I explained. I just simply added at the end i used 6/2 instead of 6/3, 6/3 is not needed.Just FYI, this is not relevant to the breaker, breaker compatibility is a function of the breaker box. This will work with 6/2 or 6/3 wiring.
Hahahah don’t you worry a certified electrician did as well as me doing electrical work for 10 years now lolYes. @Tonedog77 - from your posts, you should not be doing this work yourself.

Sounds like a wired for fire job! Electrical work is NOT a HOBBY, Electrical work is a licensed profession!Hi Everyone,
I am so confused right now on the copper wire I need. I have been reading and watching videos but when I went to buy the wire today, the electrician told me something else so I just wanted to confirm on here.
I have a 200 amp panel.
I will need to run 50 ft of wire from my panel in the basement to my garage. I have found it for about $22 CDN a metre so it seems to be in line with what I have been reading.
However, I was under the assumption that I needed 6/2 or 6/3 Romex but the guy at the electrical shop said that I would be better off going with 6/3 Teck wire. I don't know if Teck goes by a different name or something, but when I google 'teck wire Tesla' or similar, nothing pops up. Literally no one talks about it which is why I wonder If it goes by a different name elsewhere.
If it is fine, what breaker would I need, 60 amp?
It's a HOBBY for those who have EE degree and are very practical ... hahahahaSounds like a wired for fire job! Electrical work is NOT a HOBBY, Electrical work is a licensed profession!
