I've looked at the wiring instructions for the a few L2 chargers. It's just a regular 240V 50 to 60-amp circuit at the supply panel side and the instructions are clear on the charger side. If one has done any electrical wiring it's straight forward. #6 or #4 (depending on run lenght) wire takes some manhandling, but nothing outright difficult.

Tesla’s stock sees best day in 11 years. Why it’s still hard not to be bullish.

As if stock price has anything to do with rational business realities.

Had a Lucid Grand Touring. It was a great car, but I did not feel comfortable taking longer trips. I did take it from Charlotte to Atlanta a few times. I got to know where the fast chargers were on my route. My wife got really tired of sitting in a Walmart parking lot. I also went from Charlotte to Chapel Hill on numerous trips. The problem was that I could make the roundtrip without charging, most of the time. Otherwise, it was a quick stop at a Walmart in Greensboro unless we had spent the night in Chapel Hill and were lucky enough to stay in one of the few places that has a charger.
I wanted to take the Lucid on a trip from Charlotte to New Orleans (through Laurel, MS, but MS is kind of a charging void. I was then going from New Orleans to Seaside, FL and back to Charlotte. It was really hard to get info on Seaside charging and charging in New Orleans is tough unless you have a home charger. We decided not to take the Lucid. Keep in mind that the Lucid has great range. I just hated the anxiety of not only where to charge, but if the chargers were working (often not or only partially), if there would be one available (not always the case) and the length it took to get a meaningful charge. Full EV in the southeast does not make sense unless you are only using it local in my opinion. Hybrid seems like a better option. |

I'm talking about massive competition, poor brand direction, poor management and a ceiling on EV adoption.

I don't have any money invested in Tesla but there is a huge potential upside there still and clearly risk. Fun to watch.

Yeah, it looks grim for tesla, any optimism in the market is going to be short lived.
Green will continue to grow Yellow will rebound due to new introductions All while the volume is plateauing and price pressure creeps in.

I can't imagine any market analyst is expecting Tesla to retain their present market share.

especially easy if your panel is right by where you are installing the charger. The "hardest" part is making sure you get the right materials. Right size and type breaker, wire, etc. and before anyone gets too crazy with "omg what about their home insurance?", id say im qualified to install based on my electrical inspector certs and experience as an electrical contractor and a GC.
