The Tesla dream lives. Having an electrician in tomorrow to price out installing the necessary charging wiring/outlet

Posted by TWuG Feb 29 '16, 07:38

And I'll be in Columbus on March 31 when the Model 3 reservation system opens so I can reserve one through the showroom there.

That's the week of my daughter's spring break, so we are going back for that, but it coincides beautifully with the Tesla announcement. :-)

Have you considered the home battery? As beautiful as the cars are, it's the home battery that's going to change the world. -- nm - Mop Feb 29, 07:42 3
- The cost is prohibitive -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 07:48
- in a pinch the car could work as a backup. If it is charged and the setup is right you could run electricty from the battery to your house - Beaker Feb 29, 07:43 1
  - Huh. This is true. I saw a report last week that reminded us that the increase of life expectancy is directly related to electricity. - Mop Feb 29, 07:46
does your electric utility offer any discounts or anything? -- nm - Beaker Feb 29, 07:42 2
- Not that I'm aware. I have over a year to see about discounts, rebates and tax credits. -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 07:49 1
  - I would give a call, they may be planning something in the near future (rebate, special offer etc; we do that here alot) -- nm - Beaker Feb 29, 07:51
What's the cost breakdown between the Tesla system and a DIY type system? -- nm - colin Feb 29, 07:41 8
- Here are the Tesla guidelines. - TWuG Feb 29, 07:47 7
  - Ive sent an email to someone at work who is involved in it, hopefully will hear back shortly -- nm - Beaker Feb 29, 07:50 3
    - If I understand correctly, you are asking if it can be plugged into an existing outlet and it can, but it charges verrrrry slowly. - TWuG Feb 29, 07:55 2
      - oh no, I just said someone was buying a Tesla, just looking for tips/suggestions from her is all to pass along -- nm - Beaker Feb 29, 07:58 1
        
        Ah, I appreciate that. :-) -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 08:02
  - Imagine people with garages actually parking their cars in the garage! It's gonna change America! -- nm - Mop Feb 29, 07:48 2
    - Why would you not park in a garage if you have one? - TWuG Feb 29, 07:50
    - Tesla really is revolutionary. -- nm - Mop Feb 29, 07:48
