I only have a 125A panel so to add a wall connector is impossible without upgrading, according to the professional electrician quotes.
I only drive 70 miles per day so I think NEMA14-30 with around 20 mph charging should be enough for me. I have a NEMA14-30R outlet connecting to my dryer, which we only use once per week. I plan to make a hole between the garage and the lundrary room for the NEMA14-30 cord. One side connecting to the outlet and the other to the Tesla Mobile Connector. I know it is not that convenient since I have to take out the plugs twice a week, but it saves me about $4000 to upgrade the existing 125A panel and buying/installing a Gen 3 wall connector.
I am not familiar with electricity work as well as Tesla charing so I am here asking for feedback that if my plan is OK and if there is anything I should be concerned. Or upgrading the exsiting system is the best I can do. Thank you.
