Installing two wall connectors in one garage?

[Cascadian]

Hi, all! The electrician is coming tomorrow, Tuesday, and I'm wondering if there is anything we need to advise him on regarding installing two Tesla wall connectors for our his'n'hers Model 3s. Btw, WOOHOO! The referral award one arrived just in the nick of time. It looks GREAT, with Elon's signature etched into the matte black!

The electrician has done other Tesla chargers, including for our Model S in a different garage, but hasn't yet had to deal with two wall connectors in the same garage.

Is there anything we should be aware of to help make this installation as smooth as possible?

Thanks much!

Make it look like this:

Read the manual.
I believe that there is a communications wire that must connect the two, if they are on the same breaker.

Yes, read the manual. The system is nicely designed to share power between connectors. A good electrician doesn't need your help, he just needs to follow the clearly written instructions that come with the wall connectors.

Yes, the communication wire is shielded twisted pair, as spec’d by the manual. It’s a straightforward installation. For longevity and robustness, I split the feed using multitap connectors instead of splicing.

Install the chargers in the ceiling and have the cable drop down near the charge port on the cars.

Thanks everyone, for your input. I so appreciate it! Rockster, I think this info might have made a big difference, as I don't think the electrician would have done so without my sharing this comment with him. That's why I am grateful for a forum like this, to get good info about matters related to our beloved babies! Thanks again.

Here are a couple of pics... so nice to not have to unplug one car to move the other one out of the garage, as has sometimes been the case with using the mobile connector while waiting for the electrician (and the referral award!) to arrive.
