Hi,
I am on the cusp of ordering a Model X in the UK. It's a big decision, although there aren't too many obstacles in the way now. I think I've convinced myself that it's not total madness financially, and I love the car itself. There's one final issue that's bugging me which is...
... the liklihood is that we will redevelop our house next year and that will involve moving out and renting somewhere else for up to a year. My question is - how likely is it that a landlord would allow me to (financed by me) install or wire in the necessary electrics to have 7kw charging in a rental property?
Essentially, how intrusive does a temporary installation need to be? Is it more intrusive than, say, installing Sky TV? I'm not expecting that they'd be happy for me to be screwing large things into the exterior of the house, or burying cables etc, but do you think it's likely that I could either a) have the electrical wiring done so non-invasively that I wouldn't even need to mention it, or b) get permission to do a minimally disruptive installation of the electrics, into the existing electrical infrastructure? What things do I need to think about?
I know there are a number of options for install, and presumably i'll already have the hardware I'd need (either a Tesla home charger, or pod point or something), so really wondering if folk on here have a view as to what they'd do in my situation.
Final option is to just not get the car, of course, but that seems a bit drastic. For what it's worth, it's exceptionally unlikely that we'd end up with a house that didn't have a driveway, (I don't think I could bare it), so that shouldn't be an issue.
thanks in advance.
Richard
