I have been looking through the forum for weeks, so much great info. I finally ordered Model X 75D about two weeks ago. Got the VIN now waiting for delivery(late December). Currently my main concern is charging the car. I am renting the house, the electrical panel is on the back of the house about 60-70 feet (according to google maps ) from the driveway. I will have to park Model X in the driveway. Garage is not an option (have other toys in there). I do have a Nema 10-30 dryer outlet in the garage. Two options:
Option 1. Install Nema 14-50 close to the driveway. Two quotes i got were for $1900 and $2300. Those were recommended installers from Tesla. I am in San Jose/ Santa Clara. I think there is a $500 PG&E rebate. maybe landlord could help. But i would assume spending around $2000 for option 1.
Option 2. Use the dryer outlet in the garage with an extension cord, plus Tesla 10-30 adapter?https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024ECIP0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 or a shorter one.
I know i will not get as much charge. Also read that plugging and unplugging the dryer is not recommended.
From 10-30 outlet to the driveway is 25 feet. Anyone using this setup? if so what is the best way to go about it, some way to use 10-30 less often?I assume spending about $200 for this option 2.
I like option 2 because its portable and i am not tied down, cheaper. The house really works for me and the landlord is easy to get along with, but the real estate market is crazy, I dont know what comes next year when i renew my lease. Option 1 looks better long term.
I have been loosing sleep trying to decide. Would love any help?
