I will walk you through the Generation 3 Tesla Level 2 Wall Connector installation. This is an approachable project for DIY homeowners who are comfortable doing electrical work. You will want to check your local electrical code as you might be on a more updated version of the NEC. This project doesn't have to be expensive and my total cost even with the Tesla unit was only $500 and a couple hours of work. For me I will save money charging at home compared to at a local Tesla Supercharger and the difference will pay for this whole project in 1-2 months so it is a no-brainer.
