Show your Lightning's home charging setup!

This is in my garage & prewired to a subpanel for a 100 amp circuit & Pro Charger. The pro charger will be wired in when it arrives. To the left is a inlet for 240 30amp from the truck bed that goes back to the main panel with an interlock to power my house.

The second picture is a 14-50 outlet just below the electric panel, that will be used with the mobile charger. This outlet is in my shop. I can change it out later if needed for a 48 amp charger.

Nice. One note; Pro Power does not work with an interlock. You will need a generator input like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V4NDFPY/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A1T1R9Q3ML5YGI&psc=1

The Pro Power doesn’t use the interlock only the 30 amp return circuit

My electrician says he’s wired many generators with neutral bonds this way without any problems. Guess we shall see

I love the setup and I’m genuinely curious as to how it all works for you. Let us know

I found out on the www - world wide waste of time that you can actually power an F-150 Lighting with chicken poop! It was on the internet so has to be true. So I got me some chickens and yes that is my automatic door. Can’t have my power getting stolen or eaten?!?

Ok here is my real system. Watch out for SunRun. They take forever and they are clueless about almost every step of the process. We had 17 panels and 2 Powerwalls installed. We also have 20 circuits running off of the batteries from a new sub panel in case of a power loss. A regular electrician installed the Ford Charger. SunRun did the rest.

I'm assuming the ford charger is not wired to power your house/charge powerwalls?

I received a call from my SunRun subcontractor today to schedule installation of the Pro Charger. They said "You are getting your charger on June 27, right?!" Uhh...am I? I have no idea. SO, I am scheduled for the day after its alleged arrival. Communications on the charger has been atrocious. They are in trouble once production is scaled up. I feel like they will get better, but still behind the truck deliveries.

What is the Tesla box under your breaker panel (bottom left of photo)?

Tesla Powerwall Gateway is an electrical panel that connects and communicates between the Powerwall systems, solar panels, and grid. The Gateway acts as the brains behind the battery control system.

Even though SunRun sucked installing our system (no knowledge, no schedule, terrible communication) we love it. I just charged up my Chevy Volt this afternoon for pretty much $0. The batteries keep me off the grid when charging.

Lightning on the way 6/30-7/6. Currently have Clipper Creek dual charger for ID.4 and MME. I will have to park in driveway due to entry in garage for truck is narrow. I have a 3D printed cord protector for garage closure as I will have Sunrun install charge station pro outside for truck.
