I just bought a Tesla universal (hope I’m not going to regret that) and I’m installing a 40A breaker / #8 TECK-90 to hardwire it (I’m getting a good deal on the work, but the electrician is lazy and is taking too long to do it).

I don’t have a car yet, but I figured it’s better not to put the cart before the horse. There’s a damned good chance the only cars available will be TESLAs anyway, everything else is sold out /pre sold.

Not much more than that…just a baby step towards the future.

PS: I’m the lazy electrician.

    #8 Teck-90 is good for 55 amps. The breaker will be a 40 amp breaker and the charger will be limited to 30 amps (7.2Kw) as I live in a town house strata complex and not a stand alone house.

    I have to share the electrical service with my fellow strata members & I’m on council so it would be unbecoming of me to eat up all of the spare capacity.
