Interesting. I hadn’t considered a 6-50, just because I’ve been using a 14-50 up to now. I’d have to buy the 6-50 adapter ($35, I think), but that could be balanced by less wire expense and an easier run, as you said.
I also like your idea of wiring for a possible future upgrade to an HPWC. What gauge wire for a 60A breaker?
You need to check how much power your house has coming in, and what appliances you use (ex. A/C on a large house, electric water heater, electric heat, etc). If you have a small amount of power coming in, or a lot of heavy appliances, then you may need to use less power.
There are diminishing returns on "more power" to the Tesla, and the wall connector can work with any level 15-60A.
I use 30A, and it is more than enough to fill the battery in a nights sleep. 15A is also sufficient.
