We have the same Tesla 3 LR, have level 2 in our garage with an existing 30 amp dryer outlet, we hardly use superchargers, in fact we only use superchargers if we drive more than 350 miles in a day on a non round trip journey. It’s so cool waking up to a fully charged car every morning!
Our son had a Tesla in California and got a quote to install a 50 amp outlet/breaker in his garage to charge it. The quote was $2500. So then he called a different electrician and ask for a quote to install a 50 amp for an electric dryer. The quote was $1200. , definitely electrical installation companies are taking a Hugh advantage of this. Just an FYI.
Thx to your channel, The Villages Natives & The Villages Newcomers…WE DRANK THE KOOLAID in Eastport🎉 A BEAUTIFUL a place to live..sooo excited for this new chapter.
Great Video...We are all Electric as well. Tesla Model Y and EZ Go RXV Lithium Elite. As far as Tesla charging goes the mobile connector using a standard 110 is fine for most people. However we do use the mobile connector on a 50amp 220 volt circuit using a NEMA 14-50 Wall outlet and corresponding adapter. We feel it's the best way to charge at home in The Villages should you need make quick back and forth trips outside the villages. That way you can avoid using the Super Charging network. I think in a perfect world you would install the dedicated Tesla Wall connector in your garage which can go to 60 amp and 240 volts for the fastest home charging experience and you keep your mobile connector with adapters in the car for the times when you may want to plug into somewhere else; a friends house, an AirBNB etc. Glad to see others in The Villages adopting the Electric lifestyle. I look forward to the next video.
As an FYI, if you have a Tesla Model 3 with the LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery, Tesla actually encourages and recommends charging those to 100% on a weekly basis. So even though it's a smaller battery than the long range, the regularly usable battery amount is fairly close. If you don't have a long commute or regularly road trip long distances, it's something to consider when looking at the different models.
FYI Tesla no longer includes the charger cable with the vehicle. Any charging cable is an additional expense

Great video! We charged our 2020 Model Y on a 120 volt outlet in our garage for 2 years. Like you we never had any issue with that set up. But I decided to get a Tesla Wall Connector at Best Buy and had an electrician install it on a dedicated 60 circuit. VERY fast charging! There is a federal income tax credit of 30% of the cost to purchase and install an EV charger, up to a limit of $1,000.
Always miss Tiffany…but Michael did a great job recently showing us neighborhoods 😊
For anyone with an electric vehicle, check with your local electric company to see if they offer any additional incentives. My local energy company just rolled out a new Power Partner program that allows EV users to opt into a program that rewards them with a $50 bill credit for signing up and a $25 bill credit annually for participating. During peak electricity demand (June-September where I am and generally 2-7PM), your charger may slow down or pause charging for up to 4 hours up to 15 days out of the month. If you usually charge your vehicle overnight, it won't even affect you and you get paid. And if you're charging for a trip, you can easily opt out of any of the 4 hour events with no penalty. It's a great program that will help reduce electrical use during peak hours to help avoid brownouts and blackouts when there's too much strain on the system.
Thanks Michael for your quick reply!
Good to see Sweet Tiffany thanks for popping in😊Michael that was a great video again. Very encouraging and informative. You almost have me convenience to go electric😂❤
Great video guys… Thanks for sharing the EV experience 😎
Although the 30 amp on a regular dryer plug works, it is dangerous. It generates a lot of heat and is prone to catching fire. Use the Hubell brand Nemo 450 plug. It looks exactly like the regular dryer plug but is much more robust. Look at some of the CZcams videos that show some examples of the heat created with the standard plugs. Just want you to be safe.
Thanks for sharing this! I was one of the people that asked you Tesla questions, so thanks so much for posting a video about it! I'm now owned my Tesla MYLR for about 6 months, and have also learned that important lesson that you shared - that availability of Superchargers is irrelevant for most people as most people charge them at home. Like you, the only time I've used a Supercharger is on road trips. I was very surprised on how accurate the Tesla estimates are for expected battery level at each destination - it's usually right on the mark, or (if anything) you end up with slightly more than what it shows. I do wish it allowed you to select preferred Tesla stops for Supercharging, as some are definitely better than others.
Hi guys,
I installed a 60 amp circuit and the Tesla wall connector in my garage myself. Not difficult to do just need to be careful and turn the electricity off before doing the work.
Great video. Thank you for clearing up so many misconceptions about electric vehicles! You folks are awesome! Shouldn't be too hard or expensive to put in a 220V/Level 2 charger. So close to the panel and you have plenty of space for two breakers.
Thank you for educating me!!
Wow …talk about a tight fit in that golf cart garage! Great video!
