- A: AnswerA single Wall Connector can only charge one car at a time. Tesla does have a “load sharing” feature that allows multiple Wall Connectors to split the available power on a circuit between them and charge two cars at once but you would have to buy a second Wall Connector.

Q: QuestionWhich generation of this TWC?(5 answers)
A: Answer3rd genAnswered by TektonElectric
Q: QuestionCan this be used with non Tesla EVs?(7 answers)
A: AnswerYou will need to use an adaptor for this if you want to use it on a non tesla. You would need a Tesla to J1772 adaptor. Tesla now makes a charger that works on non Tesla cars. It is the Tesla J1772 and as of January 8th the cost is $525 and it black. If you want this to work on a Tesla then you would need to purchase a J1772 to TESLA adaptor.Answered by TektonElectric
Q: QuestionAbout how much does it cost to install this wall connector?(7 answers)
A: AnswerVaries greatly as it depends on the following and other items: location of your home main electrical panel to your desired Tesla charger. This will probably require a subpanel, suitable breakers, disconnect, conduit, fittings, supports, 3 conductor wiring with ground (4 cables), wall penetrations, labor, equipment, electrical permits, and other items. The cost could vary anywhere from less than a thousand to a much larger amount. I was able to have my Tesla wall charger installed 4 years ago for less than 500 as it was connected to a spare 250vac 30 amp circuit in my garage. With this set up I was able to charge my Tesla up to 24 amps (80% of 30 amps) which provided about 16 miles per hour. The wall charger has internal pin switches which are set to match the supply voltage and amperage. Finally, get several bids from reliable and bonded electricians as this work has to be done correctly!Answered by Lagers

I couldn’t be happier with my Tesla Wall Charger! It’s been fantastic having the convenience of charging at home, and getting the maximum 48 amps has made a huge difference in speed & efficiency. The installation process was smooth, and the sleek design fits perfectly with any home. Knowing I can fully charge my car overnight gives me peace of mind, and the performance has been flawless. Highly recommend this charger to any Tesla owner looking to maximize their home charging experience!

Nice to have but can be costly...
The Tesla Wall Connector is very nice to have. I started out using the mobile connector attached to a 120v outlet on a 15 amp circuit and could get about 18-20% power at 3-4 miles added per hour added to the car overnight depending on when I plugged in. For the most part, this was fine. However, after long drives, I wouldn't be able to get a full charge without stopping at a supercharger. I decided to get this charger so I had more options at home. Unfortunately, my house is on the older side an my existing 100 amp electrical panel was full, I had to upgrade to a new electrical panel and 200 amp service. This wasn't cheap and quite a bit more than I expected even after checking with several electricians ($450 for the charger and $5,000 for the panel upgrade and charger installation). I went with the local electrician that was on Tesla's certified installer list. A $1500 PSEG credit will lower that final cost somewhat. As for the charger, it's great to have. I don't have a usable garage so the charger is installed outside. It is highly water resistant, so this isn't an issue. I can charge 10x faster than before if I need to. I went from 39% to 80% in about 3 hours the first time I used it. So much better. The Tesla app is really handy. With it I can schedule charging so that it happens during "off-peak" hours. In my area that is 9 pm to 7 am. Charges vary by season but off-peak charging is noticeably less. I can also change the charging rate, i.e. - I can change the amperage provided by the wall connector so the vehicle charges more slowly. I've read charging slower is better for the battery so that is what I'm doing unless I need to charge faster. Another feature is I can add approved vehicles to a list in the app. If a vehicle is not on the approved list, it cannot charge on my connector. This will prevent unauthorized people from using it if I'm not home. The app also calculates how much money you saved using an EV vs a gasoline vehicle. Is it perfect... no. I wish they made the charging cable changeable. This would be good if the cable is damaged or a little too short for your application. Being able to install a longer cable would be a great option. Our installer mentioned to us that a surprising number of people drive over the cable damaging it so being able to change the cable without buying a new base would be nice. Additionally, connector wire can block the opening you attach the charging head to if it is wound too tightly. The cost to install if you don't have a modern electrical service can also be a major deterrent. To conclude, if you have a Tesla and room in your electrical panel for an additional 240v, 60 amp circuit breaker, this is almost a no-brainer purchase. If you need electrical upgrades to install this, you might want to consider using the portable charger and local superchargers or level 2 chargers before spending the money. I decided to upgrade despite the cost and I'm happy I did.
