it's too high; I can't see the nice Elon signature. lol just playin...
Heck, you should have seen what it took to get him to climb the ladder to sign it up there!

The footage of his landing after jumping off the ladder was spectacular!Heck, you should have seen what it took to get him to climb the ladder to sign it up there!

No, not at all. All of the parts on the HPWC are solid state, nothing moves internally. Mounting it here I found actually helped stabilize the entire set up as the 2x6 board reinforces all of the bracing. We have a belt drive opener too, which tends to have less noise and vibration.
Um, what the hell? Did you not read any of the previous comments about this? It was already mentioned multiple times that the white is disconnected and not being used.2.) Please follow the advice given above about rewiring your system to NOT ENERGIZE the white conductor.... you could seriously injure an unwitting person servicing the system. White is ALWAYS neutral..... ALWAYS (especially important for the more lethal 240VAC).
No one is using one of those live electrified cord reels. This is literally just a hook with a cable looped over it.3.) It is a really, really bad idea to use a spring retractor reel to coil your high voltage high AC current charger cable. They are designed for 110VAC and a few amps (less than 10). I doubt that the commutator in the reel could handle the load and not burn. Could also then create a shock or fire hazard.....

I appreciate that you value safety, but you're giving a lot of irrelevant advice here.
No need. He said it's a 60A breaker, and code says a cutoff is only required if it is more than a 60A circuit.Where is the shut-off switch?
Where is the shut-off switch? Code varies but I think you need to be within visual site of the breaker which may be on a nearby wall but not pictured. Otherwise you'll need to install a switch that can be used to manually cut power in an emergency. If your panel w/the breaker isn't nearby I don't see a very aesthetic solution for adding one to your current setup. It looks good and very functional other than that though.
As @Rocky_H mentions, this is only required above 60a.
But even if a locking disconnect was required, it only has to be “readily accessible” (per 2017 NEC) and lockable in the off position. This does *not* mean within line of sight. It just can’t be somewhere you need tools or a ladder to get to.
Some AHJ’s may interpret this differently, but I have done a lot of reading on this topic (and posted the code references on this forum many times) and I am pretty sure I am correct.
So you can just use a little metal clip in the breaker panel that covers the breaker and call it good. Costs like $5 and takes a couple minutes to install.
