![]() The GOM in my model 3 slowly and steadily dropped over the two years, down to a low of 270 miles. I charged the car at full 40A speed for the first two years with about 32k miles on the car. I bought a Gen 1 Tesla UMC which is 40A before the car even arrived, thinking I'd always want the faster charging speed. Also like yourself, I came from a 2018 model 3. Do you absolutely require 48A charging speed on a regular basis? Makes no difference in your case since you're strictly hardwiring your EVSE. 32A is enough for my regular use, but with the Wallbox I have the flexibility to up it to 40A when I do need it. I can only speak for myself regarding charging current on a regular basis. Main difference being you gotta make sure you flip off the breaker to your 60A circuit. Effectively it's the same procedure as swapping out your hardwired Tesla wall charger, which is simply swapping out the red/black/green wires. Like yourself, I too am no electrical expert but am willing to get dirty. The 1.25' cable that comes with the 40A Wallbox was too short to reach my wall stud, so I replaced it with a 6'. They also make a 48A version which is hardwired only, as are all other 48A units. I went with a Wallbox Pulsar Plus 40A myself. Now to my question…as someone who can follow directions and not afraid to get a little dirty with electrical work, but also definitely no expert either…anyone have experience replacing a Tesla charger with another using the existing wiring? Or am I being foolish even considering it and should I pay an electrician? And secondly, knowing the draw currently to the Tesla charger, any specific chargers I should look into that would not require any modifications other than swapping them out?Įxcited to become part of the community and appreciate any advice or thoughts you have! I don’t have any conveniently placed plugs for the one that comes with the Mach E. I was originally just planning on getting an J1772 adapter for the charger but the more I think about it the more I think I may just get a new hardwired one. I currently have a hardwired Tesla Gen 2 charger in my garage. So my first question revolves around my home wall charger. I just ordered Friday so I have quite a ways to go before it’s actually here…but the preparing is also fun ? ![]() I’m currently a model 3 owner (since mid 2018), am definitely all in on EV’s, and I have been looking at the Mach E since it was announced. Good morning, first post here after lurking for over a year.
