It all depends on existing wiring, location of charger, etc. Some of the biggest costs are in running conduit to a location that is far from your panel. That adds labor costs too. I would say installing it immediately next to your panel, with just a new breaker and 6AWG wire would cost about...
5kw on 110v means you are only pulling 30A. BUT….very few 110v outlets are run at 10 gauge. Most are run at 12 or 14 gauge, meaning you very well might trip a breaker (hopefully) or worse (set your house ablaze or damage the OpenEVSE).
If you actually go over 30A, you may need to worry about...
This is very interesting. It would be surprising if 1.5-2.0 kW was lost during the charge process. That seems rather high (and expensive). I'm not doubting your research and it does seam possible.
I have CT clamps for each of my NEMA 14-50 outlets and I'll be able to measure charger output and...
Efficiency numbers are fun! Thanks for sharing. I will say that for the longest time when I got my Model S in 2015 I kept trying to baby the throttle and change my driving habits so I could post the lowest efficiency on a Tesla forum. I explained this to my wife and she laughed and said, "Just...
I had my guide assigned on June 16 and got VIN 81xx on June 17. I doubt any of these are mine, but I'm still hopeful. My truck will probably be on the next shipment. Congrats and good luck to you. I live only a few miles away from the delivery center and I've changed my commute to just happen to...

I've enjoyed watching all of you get your R1Ts, so you have to suffer through my experience as well. :)

Trying not to get too excited...
For those of us that were early Tesla adopters, we experienced the same types of changes and delays early on. Some folks were surprised with earlier deliveries and some were pushed out for no apparent reason. There were spreadsheets in the forums with all options, order date, location, etc. and...
