You can tell the electrician is a master of his craft. His cable management and use of tools is like a work of art.

So grateful for someone doing a video with a licensed electrician so we don't have to look in the comments for what the installer did wrong. Thanks

#6 copper THWN is sufficient for 60 amps and a #10 AWG copper equipment grounding conductor is an industry standard ground for a 60-amp load. That open KO seal should also be closed up.

Thanks for posting this video. Came in very useful! Appreciate it.

Best install video. It was a great idea to have your Professional Electrician doing the work.

Thanks for this video man! Super helpful cheers 🤙

This vid was immensely helpful for insight on how to remove one as well. Moving and locals are charging a grip just to take it off the wall.

You should include the setup, which is a bit confusing because you join the device to your WiFi network, but still configure it by power cycling and connecting to it as a WiFi hotspot.

Best Tutorial! I used this guide to install my Gen 3 DIY outdoor. The mini 15s/20s breakers was the best idea since I didn’t have space for 60A. Great job

Thank you for the video and saving me a lot of headache

I installed mine with ROMEX, nails and a rusty screwdriver and it's working fine.

You made it look easy pulling that #6 wires in 3/4

The electrician i hired did mine for $800 that included the 50 amp rated wire and the 40 amp breaker. He put a range outlet so i can plug the mobil charger. My tesla is in a garage.. so i dont need the wall charger. he also told me that he did about 400 charger installs in his life so far… not bad.. the demand is rising…. Because i only have a model 3 rwd which can only be charged at 32 amp. i don't think i would ever need a 60 amp breaker with 60 amp rated wire, , , for me 32 amp is more than enough to charge a model 3 rwd.. (actually any tesla). Maybe someday if i have extra money i would try a gen3 wall charger, if i can find one used.. but for now the mobile charger does the trick on my m3 rwd…

Just a heads up.. if inspected, you need an expansion coupling and appropriate clips. Thanks

best video ever. i was able to install mine by myself.

Nice outdoor install Bro! Did you remove the label showing the QR code so no one can re-commission it if the decide to rip it off your wall?

[rborroto]

Nice, simple installation, similar to mine. However, I'm surprised he used steel pipe straps. Hopefully they're galvanized. Check them, because they may rust. You may consider replacing them with non-metallic (grey) straps, should you run into a rust problem. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah man, great video. I was worried about installing this at first, but I'm glad it's a lot more simple than I thought. But what I really don't understand, is why you can put a 48 amp load on a 60 amp breaker, but you can only put a 32 amp load on a 50 amp breaker. Shouldn't you be able to charge at 38 amps with a 50 amp breaker? I know if you get too close to the overload threshold current of a breaker, it overheats the element of the disconnect mechanism, and can damage it, making it impossible to turn back on once it turns off, and worst case scenario it can make enough heat to cause some polymer in the fuse box to catch fire. What I don't understand is why you can get within 12 amps of the 60 amp threshold, but you can get within only 18 amps of the threshold of a 50 amp breaker. I'm thinking the element for the diffusing mechanism in the 60 amp is a little more resistant to heat then the element in a 50 amp breaker, which actually allows you to safely get closer to the maximum load of the 60 amp breaker.

In Europe, due to 3 phase, you can use MUCH thinner wires, as current 3x less for 11kW.

1:53 i know you probably want something custom but tesla does sell colored glass covers.
