Based on the Generalink site, it looks they provide the cord since one end appears to be proprietary.

Anecdotally, the chart seems to line up with my real world usage.

I typically like Mike Holt, but I think this graphic from the official NEC Handbook Commentary is a little more clear. "Service" on the Mike Holt image is going to be your panelboard in most cases as you can see with the breakers indicated in the diagram. This wiring diagram would also be the...

Part of the issue with a discussion like this on a forum is you do not know the qualifications of anyone weighing in, and you will always run into people who are very confidently wrong. The electrical code is not easy to read and even inspectors are known to have incorrect interpretations on...

Those diagrams seem odd to me as most utilities will NOT bring you an EGC, from the utility you get your phases and neutral. You're required to ground and then bond at your service equipment. To me, the ground and neutral bond should be shown at the transfer switch in those diagrams.

Sure, if we want to get into what ifs then what if your breaker fails to trip: your wires will melt and burn your house down. The NEC even allows you to replace ungrounded outlets in old homes with 3-prong GFI outlets because it’s safe.

I was just answering that there was a way, it just requires a decent chunk of change. I feel like not bringing the equipment ground is safe enough that I’m using it. It does not meet code so I will not advise someone else to do so. also: Go Pack!

Electricity flows in the path of least resistance. Just because you don’t bring the vehicle ground to the house does not mean it isn’t grounded: you’ve still got you’re house ground and it’s bonded at the panel which is still your service entrance. A fault on the truck side would trip the gfi. A...

If you got a 4-pole transfer switch rated for what your main panel is then yes because it would switch the neutral.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think it’s unsafe to not bring over your equipment ground from the truck. You service doesn’t bring you a ground either, you make the ground at the house and then bond the neutral. Treat your car as the utility and it’s the same thing, and its built in ground loop...

Im not sure I’m following your whole setup, but you do not want to switch the house neutral AND remove the ground from the truck. You want one neutral-ground bond in your system and you want it to be at the service point ie the truck when in backup mode.

Wait til you find out they run electrical wires in metal conduits.

I don't think that's true... https://a2zevshop.com/products/tesla-nacs-dc-supercharger-extension-cord?_pos=3&_sid=d009d73e0&_ss=r

How are the LFP batteries an upgrade? Are they not worse in basically everything but cost?

14-50 and 14-50P are not different, P indicates a plug and R indicates a receptacle. If his plug did not have a neutral he likely has a 6-50R and you'd need a 6-50P adapter to use it, but you do not need the neutral to charge.

I don’t disagree with you, but we don’t see 45 and under super often so I took the risky choice. Glad I don’t have to worry about that anymore though. Before I got my first EV I only drove manual vehicles and if it snowed I slowed down with engine braking to help prevent sliding. I think that’s...

I feel like none of that is true. I had a model 3 and when I got it there wasn’t even an option for 1-pedal drive…yes you can turn it off. Second, 1-pedal is better for snow. We don’t get much in the south, but I drove mine with summer tires on snow and was fine.

You're right. My brain keeps going back to my Model 3 which was friction brakes or 1-pedal. I enjoy 1-pedal so I am going to stick with it.

I disagree that it won't make a difference in brake wear. Even if you are gently applying your breaks they will degrade more than literally not using them. I believe they'll last significantly longer with 1 pedal.

It sucks that you’re experiencing that. I picked mine up off the lot mid November and with no conversations with Sunrun it appeared before Christmas. I would imagine you have to deal with Sunrun at this point since it’s on them to ship it.
