I have next to NO experience as I just bought my first EV on Friday, and my electrician ran a 60A line to the front of the house.
After a bunch of research, I bought the Tesla Universal. Wired up easily, powered up easily, and the set up was easy (OK, I f'd up the initial set up with the Tesla...

My panel is only 150A. I will likely use the mobile charger with a 220v dryer plug adapter for the interim as we are planning a move in the next few months. Unless maybe anyone thinks it makes sense to purchase a level 2, wire a plug...
Hello all! This is my first post. This is also my first EV. I feel incredibly lost, but excited. I've searched to find some answers but fell just a bit short.
