That looks about the same as the run they are doing for mine on Wednesday. My quote was just under $1000 (city permit included).

I was quoted $900 for a connection to the HPWC. They are running the power from a 100A circuit in my basement out and up to a finished wall in my garage! I was thinking about having an extra NEMA 14-50 outside of the HPWC but I don't think I will need that for sometime now. My delivery date is sitting at 11/25 right now and I am boo hooing everywhere. :-( Hopefully I'll get the HPWC soon so I can at least get that part done and feel like I'm one step closer!

FWIW I got two quotes on 14-50. First was a local electrician who hadn't done many EV installs: $1250. Second was referred by SolarCity, and has done >50 Tesla installs: $800.
I think it's a bit of a racket, and they're certainly making healthy profit margins no matter what. My fuse box is in laundry room directly adjacent to garage, so it's a simple job.

Definitely sounds a bit off. I was quoted around $700 from a local guy for HPWC or a 14-50 and I had a 50 foot run from panel to outlet/charger. Use Angie's List to get more options. Or Yelp or Yellow Pages.

I have no clue what my 14-50 will be.
I am having 3 outlets installed. Each with their own 50AMP breaker. 2 outlets inside the garage and one outside next to the driveway for the visitors. It will require an estimated 150' of 8/3 wire and some conduit for the outdoor run. So prolly $300-$400 just in wire, outlets, breakers, conduit, etc.
I figure if it takes 4 hours to install with 2 guys there at an average of $75 - $100 per hour then it should be less than $1000.

It took about 5 hours for 2 guys to install 1 breaker (relocating some things between my main panel and subpanel) and run a 50feet wire in my case.

I emailed the DS to verify that it really takes 2 weeks to get it here... It was 10/25 at last communication with him.

I heard a week. I think they are still doing a lot of giving themselves room and then delivering early. My last conversation with Bryan has me at 11/25 delivery - but that just seems so unlikely since I confirmed only 2 weeks after you...unless they are sneaking some Europeans in the production schedule as I have heard mentioned on here.
Keep us posted Sam - that is great news either way that yours has gone so fast! I hope you get a chance to post a review of your delivery experience at Norristown.

Looks like it is making its way across the country on the transporter already! My delivery appointment is being set up this Friday! WOOT!

Congratulations! The wait is definitely worth it, albeit, much longer now compared to when I took delivery. It only took me 22 days to get the car, which was quite a surprise.
