Hello, our M3 is coming in about 10 days and I am trying to finalize plans for our electrician. We are jumping in with both feet as I am also on the list for a MY. So all of this with a two Tesla setup in mind.

We have a 200a panel with capacity for these options.

Initial thought was to have the electrician install two NEMA 14-50R, each on dedicated 50a breakers to start out with and just use the mobile charger. 32a speeds speeds via the 14-50 should be more than enough for us 95% of the time with daily commutes and overnight charging.

So maybe the rest of this is overthinking it.

My current thought is to have the electrician wire these runs with wire that would accommodate 60a in the future if I wanted to change out the 14-50R charging for 2 wall connectors to take advantage of load sharing between them.

So I have been searching and my have information overload at this point....

What is the recommended wiring - something that would handle up to 100a?

If the 14-50R receptacles are on separate 50a circuits, would we just switch to 60a breakers in the future if we wanted to go with wall connectors and they would be able to "talk" to each other over Wi-Fi?

No signal/data communication cable I should run to allow sharing in the future because the Gen3 wall connectors communicate wirelessly?

Thanks - be kind. :cool:
