Quick question.. I searched all the Tesla forums and just wanted to confirm a few things..
Will be getting a HPWC and I currently have a NEMA 14-50 with a 50amps breaker.
I would like to replace the outlet with the HPWC, hardwired if possible since I want the 60amp breaker and 48amp max charge.. if I pigtail into the outlet it won't go above 40amps charging.
What do I need to check cabling wise with the electrician who did the outlet so I know if the cabling needs to be "ugpraded" or if I can simply cap off the white cable and get the HPWC hard wired?
Also for the breaker is it possible to swap it to a 60amps ? Or I'm missing something here.
FYI I'm getting solar and getting a 225A panel so I will have plenty of space in my new panel (coming from 125A).
Thanks!
(oh and please no philosophical discussions about NEMA 14-50 being enough etc., I'm getting a free HPWC !)
