Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector 

GUYS! GUYS! In the last video I asked you to shoot me some name ideas for the Tesla and y'all backed up the dump truck and delivered a heaping pile on my doorstep! Thanks a ton for this, I really enjoyed everyones ideas and suggestions, there were TONS of good ones in there! 😁👍🏻

Tom now has a NEMA 14-50 plug which means he can go buy a bigger better welder.

Tom listens to V A P O R W A V E

Here’s an idea after a year ownership of this vehicle see if you can give us a breakdown on what you payed (additionally) in electrical bill versus what you would’ve paid in gasoline.

the trance music at 1:00 is peak excitement for unboxing a charger

Tom a second Tesla wall connector would be the way to go if you get a second car. They put a data cable between them and share the 60A line. If both cars come on for a charge at the same time they share the 60A if only one car charging it has the 60A all to itself. If the other car is not a Tesla you can bye an adaptor from Tesla to J1772 or a Tesla wall connector with a J1772 plug on it is also available.

I installed a 6-50 plug at home and my work, I get right at 30miles/hour charge rate on it using the mobile cord. Great videos, good luck!

Good for you Tom! Followed your V8 Miata build a while back. Enjoy your S, I’ve had mine 18 months now. Would never go back.

we got a model 3 as a work car, came with a 30a 415v wall charger. 110v is a killer, so many amps required to get the watts in.

I wired a 50 amp appliance plug to my Gen 3 WC, I already had the outlet as a former Volt owner. Outputs a rock steady 40 amps/36 mph. Plus love having the outlet gives me options going forward. The tax credit is another bonus.

You are very clear, high quality person..thank you

I like the electricians! Look honest and reliable.

Commissions the connector caused me headaches but it’s easy for you. I couldn’t connect even though I tried for days and the Tesla team couldn’t either so I returned it and bought a gen 2 off of eBay.

That charger is a beauty man

Cool unit, clean install. Looks like that charger can put out 1.21 gigawatts!

Time to add a Porsche Taycan turbo S to the stable with that 14-50 outlet😎

Never understood the Tesla hype....Until I saw that charging flap open and close!

NEMA 14-50 isn’t for clothes dryers. It’s for electric stoves. Dryer is 14-30, so only 30 amp.

Tom you got a Tesla!?!?! I've watched your channel for years. Back to your yellow turbo Miata days (I owned a black turbo Miata too). Seeing you have a Tesla now is hugely gratifying considering your mechanical skill and experience with performance cars. I've owned 2018 Model 3 for a couple years now and its been an incredible car. Hope you love your car and its as good to you as mine has been to me.

Really wish I had an electric car charging at home so I could avoid getting coughed or sneezed on at the covid/gas station about now!

Tom if you really wanna help the planet I’ll take that Miata you built ....👍🏼 like the new Tesla very cool

Whoop! It’s mostly positive vibes here in the comments, Mitch. Thanks for posting this insightful video of Lightning Bolt. Looking forward to learning more about Tesla ownership. Cheers from the UK 👍🏽 David

Nice Tesla charger infront of hot roding summit racing sticker

A friend of mine is a master electrician who installed one of their 3-phase chargers. The guy paid a hefty price for it, as it was a complicated install with long, underground runs. Apparently it can do a full charge in something like an hour o.o

0:28 Was that my boy Rich? "It's compatible with model S 3 X & Y" I hear what you did there Really hope I can make my next daily an EV; need more competition to hit the market though. I was actually about to buy a Bolt, dealer told me it was sold, so I picked up a Lexus, two days later they called me and said the deal fell through, at that point I had already bought the Lexus. The bolt was part of a two vehicle option though (Bolt for daily old iron for when I want to drive).

4:22 - press the button on the handle to open the port on the car... for whatever reason, this blew my mind.

Toms TURBO garage⚡️

Tesla manual recommends to leave the car plugged in even after it has finished charging. Btw, that white temepred glass front cover looks really good!

Tom will the Wall Charger quit charging when The battery is full. E.G. plug it in when you pull into the garage, unplug it the next morning.

Will you be updating on the electrical bill? 👍

I will say eletric cars are interesting for sure!

I want To get one someday, thank you tom

Hi Thanks for the nice clip. what is the distance between two garage doors? i am wondering when the garage doors are operating they may hit the cable?

Tom, I'll admit, I was skeptical of how entertaining or educational a video about what amounts, in my eyes, to a vehicular appliance, but... well done with the electrician bit. Still a fun video, so keep it up. I'm sure Torch approves! The S, as far as autocross goes, is kinda a one-trick pony with it's silly acceleration out of corners, but wow do those tires hate changing direction... the 3 though? That's surprisingly potent. I figure in ten, twenty years, these sorts of things might interest me. The weight is simply too much for the time being.

Pretty interesting that the US is using 220-240V more and more.

Hi, is there a reason you chose to enter the wiring from the bottom of the wirebox rather than the top? Seems like you top would make more sense because you had the conduit/wiring from the ceiling already, so a top entry would make sense? I'm researching installing one myself and am asking to learn. Thanks in advance.

It's like finding out Dylan had gone electric. A moment to reflect.... Times They Are a-Changin'.

That looks like a pretty slick set up, I have heard that in some subdivisions the over all power draw prevents people from installing the heavy duty charging stations. Can you run say an electric dryer or oven while charging the car?

is there anyone out there who has experienced an overheating issue on their electrical panel using this Gen 3 unit? My 60a breaker got so hot, it cracked which, to say the least, has created some lack of confidence in this device

I’m not interested in a Tesla but that door was so neat.

Great work

Did you see how they secured the conduit to the wall? Doing a similar project and curious if I need to use anchors to secure the conduit to the drywall

I'm surprised you didn't get a Taycan. It has Turbo in its name! Even with no snails in its making.

Hey Tom, This is soooo useful. I have just one question. How much space do you have between the garage doors? I have just 12 inches. Would that be enough?

You’re right Tom, now I want one. 😍

Now all you need is solar or wind power and run free...

I love turbo cars but electric is Super quick and silent you cant beat that

Supports models S, 3, X, Y. Or as Elon intended it to be abbreviated "S3XY"

If the app provides you the info, what is the actual purpose of the WIFI on the wall charger ?

How expensive was the install? My issue is that I'm moving to florida in about 13 years. I would probably just install the outlet.

Tom: Spends $100k on a new car Tesla: Oh you want to charge it? That's an extra $500

Can you track your energy consumption with it?

Tom I just want to know how are you gonna turbo charge that car, I've never seen a turbocharged electric engine

I have to ask, what type of work are you in. If you don’t want to say that’s completely fine

This video really charged me up for the day. :) "Toms Turbo Tesla"

Neat job. Was the installation of the charger expensive?..

Can you do an update with how many kilowatts you use to charge at home in a few months?

That's awesome! 👍😎👍

When do you stick a turbo on it?

Que buena tecnología.. excelente toms Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪

I can’t find the reset button. Is there one?

Also Model S3XY! was elon from mid 2000s xbox? 1337 Ecetera :)

Nice!!

Can you put this outdoors like outside of your garage if it’s too small?

Amazing!

How the heck you have a full time job along doing youtube?

how much cost instalation?

Shame Tesla has poor build quality. Paint problems etc. And it freezes in low temperatures in Finland.

update on electrical bill

How much was the install

#KAG2020LandslideVictory Stay safe buddy

0:25 Holy shit a new Ranger. I own one and never see them.

nice

Can ya get a reel for that 15' cable?

Back up generator?

cant have a charger at home in appartment complex.... even if its in a fine area.... an i only drive every 14 dage lately... so it would be dead....

Why can't you supercharge in your house?

What car is that little red one shown at 2:50 and 2:56???

Looks like a gigantic Apple Mouse.

How is that turbo on the Tesla?

Which turbo going in!!!

is it any possibility that you're gonna modified your tesla?

They sure skin You when buying an electric car....US$ 500.00 for a charger. But I guess it can save your life these days, avoiding coughing people and virus infested nozzles at the gas station.

hi

Didn't say all the Costs for the install complete...😠😷

Sweet 🎂

So Tesla has super chargers right. So is this one like a turbo charger? Eh? Eh?

Hey a car you can start and drive out of your garage at 3am without waking the fam

Can I say this is not for me gas or disel

Get solar panels installed!

240v kit is quicker and safer, less amps...

I was a huge fan of your channel, but this just felt like watching one long commercial, so goodbye Tom, thanks for the amazing content so far, may our paths cross again one day

Where's the turbo? And the turbolicious content?

Wait, I just realized... Tesla Models S, 3, X, and Y? S3xy? Sneaky Elon...

Almost no car guy will touch household wiring.

🙁

I don’t like the direction the channel is going, so I’m going the outher way

De-subscribed because of the Tesla bullshit.

Just zero interest in this. Hope to see actual car guy stuff and not this.

PVC 🤮🤮
