They are able to use the 220V service to the dryer, or they go to a nearby Supercharger if needed. They also have a clothes dryer near the garage. This works especially well since they have a second car.
#100 DOORS LVL 15 UPGRADE#
We have friends who would need to upgrade the electrical service to the whole house to get 220V service to the garage, and they have gotten along fine with L1 charging.

However, if you drive fewer than 100 miles/day, this works.
#100 DOORS LVL 15 FULL#
In principle, if you plug in next to your shaver in the bathroom, it would take three days for a full charge. L1 charging only gives you about 4 miles of range per hour. This is easier to do if you have a bigger battery. Note: If you want your battery to last as long as possible, don’t charge over 80% or let the charge go below 20%. However, I am rarely at dead empty and I normally only charge to 80%, so usually I am only charging from one to five hours. My Tesla has 310 miles of range - so, in principle, it would charge from dead empty to full in ~11 hours. L2 charging gives you about 28 miles of range in one hour. The L2 charger is not necessary if you have an EVSE - you only need a NEMA 14-50 outlet. I had a L2 charger installed there for another $700, which I needed for my first Nissan LEAF. It cost about $500 to have 220V service run to my garage in Lindon, Utah. Again, we already had 220V service in the garage. An electrician in Saint George, Utah, installed one in our garage there for $250. Northern Lights Electric installed one in my garage (where I already had 220V service) in Three Lakes, Wisconsin, for only $130. If you have 220V service in your garage, you can have a L2 NEMA 14-50 outlet installed for about $200. Almost all RV parks have NEMA 14-50 outlets. In many cases, you should buy both the 110V adapter and the 220V NEMA 14-50 adapter. On one end of the cable is the plug that goes into your car, and on the other end is an interchangeable plug. Be sure to order an EVSE cable from Tesla (or someone else) before you get your car. Tesla no longer supplies an EVSE (Electric Vehicle Service Equipment) cable with each car. What’s going on? Is Tesla putting orders for Model Ys with higher level trims ahead of hers? That might be fair if done when making the initial delivery schedule, but not if they keep putting higher level trims ahead of hers while she is waiting.Īny any case, there are various things to do or consider before getting your first Tesla.

If that holds, that will be a wait of about one year.

She checked just now when I called her, and it was moved up again to September 3/October 15, 2022. A little later, the date was moved up to January 2022, then pushed back again to July 2022, and later still it was pushed way back to February/March 2023. But is Tesla being fair to her? When she ordered her long range Y in October 2021, they gave her a delivery date of May/June 2022. When my neighbor takes delivery of her Model Y, that will make 6 Teslas on one small street here in very little Three Lakes, Wisconsin. Even though Tesla is now building and selling cars at a rate of over one million a year, it can’t keep up with demand, and some of you will have been waiting over a year to take delivery after buying a Tesla.
