SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room
- Thread starter HelixSpiral
- Start date
You can buy the white model 3 hot wheels cars for $20+. I have a neat idea for a "reveal" of my model 3, but I don't want to spend $20 on a hot wheels car lol
Hello,I asked this question in a "Battery/Charging" related thread, but everyone there was too busy discussing charge capabilities and numbersso no one answered...
Has anyone here already purchased or can recommend a home charger?
Is it best to go with the Tesla one? or did you go with a generic?
I'll tell you exactly what my advisor said:
"No one has time to wait 40+ hours to have your car re-charged... Also, Don't spend $500 PLUS your Electrician cost to have the Tesla Wall Adapter. That's just dumb. Just buy a Nema 14-50 Outlet for your house (Mine Cost Around $550 with Installation + Parts) and you'll be able to charge your car 8-10 Times Faster (Usually a full charge is within 8-10 hours)"
Ps. I don't have my car yet, but according to the picture below you can see the difference in charging time. You'll notice how the Nema 14-50 charges the Model 3 up to 30 Miles an Hour Faster than the traditional plug.
Also, buy the adaptor for the Nema 14-50 from Tesla (It's only $45 dollars)
Gen 2 NEMA Adapters
Use a variety of household outlets to charge your Tesla with a Gen 2 NEMA Adapter. Simply attach the appropriate adapter to your Mobile Connector, plug into the corresponding outlet and begin charging. Adapter Max Distance Gained Per Hour of Charge Model S Model 3 Model X Model Y 5-15 3...

Mine is moving tighter too.... despite my negativity earlier when it comes to the "pattern". New dates June 17 - June 26 (yesterday it said June 16 - June 27)
I don't know if its best to go with the Tesla branded charger... but I have a Grizzl-E charger. It goes up to 40 amps (I have it preset to 32 amps... because the model 3 SR+ will only take 32 amps I believe?). I have/had it set on 32 amps because I used it with my Bolt EV. I figured I would just use this one since I have it, instead of spending more money on a Tesla one and having to sell this one.I asked this question in a "Battery/Charging" related thread, but everyone there was too busy discussing charge capabilities and numbers

I went with a NEMA 14-50 as a more generic option. The Tesla charger ties you to Tesla and you'll need to make a change if you ever trade in your Tesla for, say, the hot new EV in 2026. At least theoretically, using a standards-based charger should allow you to charge future EVs as well as use it for other applications.I asked this question in a "Battery/Charging" related thread, but everyone there was too busy discussing charge capabilities and numbers

I had a 14-50 outlet installed in March for my Model 3. Got three quotes. One of the three recommended an emergency disconnect box (between the service panel and 14-50 outlet). The emergency disconnect box houses a 50 amp GFCI breaker.
Here's a few pictures after the electrician was done: Installed my NEMA 14-50 yesterday
i keep getting emails every morning to make final payment before delivery, but when i go in my account, nothing is there to make it im guessing it will pop up 24 hours before delivery. Also if anyone has already taken delivery, what is the process like for paperwork when you get to the dealership? does the guy/girl sit down and talk to you about everything you need to sign or is it already done before delivery on the account and its basically just a in and out process. My mother really insists on coming so she can get a ride in the car and i dont need her seeing how much im paying/putting down as a down payment.
Mine is doing the same thing, first June 15-30 on Monday, then June 16-30 on Wednesday, now June 17-30 today (Thursday). I got an SR+, no FSD. Can’t wait to take delivery but after this third change I’m taking the window with a grain of salt.
I don't know for sure, but they specify "touchless delivery" so I think you do most of it beforehand. Then you just sign a couple papers and you're off. That's my understanding anyway.
If there is one thing I learned throughout this entire experience, is that you shouldn't pay too close of attention to the delivery dates. So yeah... I will look at them, but still wait for that text/email/call/schedule delivery button/whatever.
June 15 - June 23 for me! It’s tightening up a bit. I’m in TX as well.
During my research, my understanding is you should not have a GFCI breaker because almost all if not all of the charges out there advise against it because you're not supposed multiple GFCI on the same circuit as they have it built-in. Tesla mobile connector does have it built in.

I just called Tesla, they found me a vehicle that had some repair work done but is considered new. Pickup now likely next week. Super hyped.
