Finally installed. Had to use the building's contractor and finished the "commissioning process on my own. Pretty straightforward. Tesla tech support was awesome as I will need to manually update the firmware due to no WiFi in the garage.

Wall Connector installed ✅

Congratulations! Any inquiry i send to my condo board just leads to more confusion. They want to involve lawyers, quotes are really high and the services to track usage seem expensive on a month to month basis. Glad it was able to get installed for you!
I am on my own circuit breaker at 30 amps as I didn't want to spend even more money for 6 or more gauge wiring. phone is showing 5kW + 2kWh. No clue what that means and don’t really care.

5 kW is the charging rate. The car is charging at 5,000 Watts.
+2 kWh means you’ve added 2 kWh of energy in the time you’ve been charging. By the math, you’ve been charging for about 24 minutes (two fifths of an hour, but all of these numbers are rounded to the nearest whole number, so it could be more or less). When it says +5 kWh, you’ll have been charging for an hour. 5 kW * 1 hour = 5 kWh.

The Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector allows you to restrict access to:
You don't need an external WiFi network to set up or use access control. It's set up using the wall connector's built in WiFi access point, the same as other commissioning activities.

Cool. I thought it needed internet in order to implement the restrictions. That's really helpful that it does not.

$550 for the install as the BX was already in place. There is an app for the building, which is used for everything including charges.
Actually, you won't have to. At least, not as things work right now (and this is quite annoying for those of us that do NOT want our firmware to be updated). See this: Disable WiFi on Gen 3 Wall Charger?
Interesting as I really question the rationale behind this. Its purpose is to send "juice" to the charge port. The car provides and controls all the intel. Short of error logs on the wall connector, I can't see much more. The equation is really quite straightforward.
Wow! I assume your building already had the infrastructure in place. I am in an older one and it looks like it is in the 6-8k range! Super convenient to have it in the space. I'll be charging at Sherway most of the time once, just waiting on order now...
This was just an upgrade for me. I had arranged for the install when we moved in 5 yrs ago. Kept the same wiring and changed the charger. Went from this
$0. The building did it for an incentive st the time. We had the most expensive suite.
We were told $10k minimum at our condo.
Decided to spend that to upgrade the M3 order to Long Range instead and use the Superchargers more. Has worked out OK so far.
That is utter BS and a money grab! Most condos thought I've been to, now have chargers in the guest parking even! And why $10K? how far is your parking stall from the elevator, where most of the services (read: electrical) are? I bet if you had an independent contractor quote you, it would be 1/4 of that.
