    Advice on 50amp exterior wall rig up wanted!!

    Yes indeed FWIW I think that is the best move. Per NEC 250.122 the minimum size grounding conductor you will need for a 60amp breaker is a #10 copper. 3/4" conduit is fine just dont make more than 360 degrees in bends.

    Advice on 50amp exterior wall rig up wanted!!

    Another point I would like you to consider is something called boxfill. If you are planning on making a splice at the inside outlet you need to be sure there is enough room for the splice. I would rather remove the inside outlet (if it’s not needed), pull new #6 THHN, and use that box as a pull...

    Has anyone found the best insurance company to use? What about comprehensive delivery checklist?

    I added the CT to my progressive policy that has my Model 3. It only added just over $400 more a year (for now). I also selected the highest deductible, and will not use it as a daily driver. I was also looking into Hagerty. It appears that they might insure the CT. Good luck

    4 AWG or 6 AWG copper wire for 60A 2pole breaker?

    Sorry I need to add my 2 cents lol. We almost always want to install devices per the manufacturers installation instructions. The National Electrical Code (NEC) even has a section for this, NEC 110.3B. You have taken into consideration the length of the run, so no need for a voltage drop...

    Cybertruck replaced portable generator during power outage

    Im glad you were able to make the 110v outlets work for a temporary outage :). Thats funny that you paralleled the outlets. Are you planning to install a transfer switch or Main breaker interlock? I would love to see your setup when you get it finished.

    Cybertruck crashes into a ditch and here's the result

    Should I assume that the truck is black from the fire that is inevitable from any EV crash? ;)

    Generator interlock kit and power inlet receptacle install - thoughts?

    That is a great idea and an excellent price. Just keep in mind that you will need to do your own load shedding since this is essentially a manual transfer setup. What that means is that you will need to physically turn off breakers or devices to mange the load/s connected to your Cybertruck, and...

    Need for a charger station "emergency-breakaway" device?

    Man sometimes you guys are a rough crowd... This issue about being stuck while charging has been discussed on and off for a while, and a couple of YouTuber's created a design challenge a few years ago. Yes I was one of the entrants. My idea was mostly poo poo'd for many of the same reasons...

    South Florida - Fischer Electric PowerShare & UWC Install

    I haven't used Fischer Elec before, but I have inspected their work. I think they do good work, but they are a bigger company so sometimes the smaller jobs get pushed back. I would definitely recommend getting 3 estimates from different Electrical Contractors before using anyone. Good luck and...

    Elon reveals Cybertruck details / production expectations on Q3 2023 call

    Excellent post Coolbreez, and exactly what I needed to hear. Man that earnings call was a huge financial bummer for me but, your "put on the big boy pants" post is profound. :)
