Received two more quotes for $500 and $700. $200 on top of that for permits.

Seems way more reasonable

Quote was to run the wire outside of the walls in a garage with a subpanel.

Then that quote is fucking Looney Tunes. They didn't want to do it.

Still getting reamed at $700-$900.

Easy to say the quote is bad when nobody knows any details of the house and how the wire is run. Finished basement?? How far?? Finished garage??
The job doesn’t get done by someone for just material the guy has to get paid to do it, takes time to collect material then do the job.

At least there is a lot of electricians not working in town so labour should be cheap.

They said it was for outside of the walls in a garage with an panel already there

I have a finished basement and a finished garage, I was getting quotes of $1500 to run the wire 17 feet.

I got all the proper equipment myself and ran it for pennies on the dollar.

I was full of luck though, my electrical room and storage room that was attached to the garage were both unfinished resulting in a wire in the ceiling from one room to another.
Drill a hole in garage and mount charger right there. I even ran a second wifi hub so the X had her own hub to attached to when parked.

Sometimes the house works out like that, mine is as well. Mine would be 2-3 hours of work for me to do it.

He states he is gettinga sub panel so the feed has to come from the main panel in the house, how far and how much is finished if any is unknown. They suggested running a pipe on the drywall to not wreck the walls is safe to assume, the other quotes would probably be cutting the walls up and leaving it for the home owner to get repaired. But who knows? I don’t see a ton of info, just lots of complaining about the price.

[The_Rural_Juror]

3-4 hours labour on two of the quotes where we fish it up the attic and have a cleaner install. Main panel is actually in the garage where this is connected, sub is in the basement. They don't need to go into the basement. Zero drywall work other than a couple of small holes for the conduits in all quotes.

I wouldn't say that it is "lots of complaining". It doesn't bother me at all. Will let other companies have the work.

The $1600 quote actually doubled during after hours because they need to install a thingamabob to make sure we are safe in the new home. Nice folks though and I appreciate their time in coming out to provide a quote.

[danno]

Seems simple enough but always a challenge getting into a attic through the top 2x4 with minimal damage. I get why the conduit had been suggested as it’s the easiest and fastest.

I wasn’t suggested you were complaining, all the guys ranting about the cost without knowing the job was what I was referring too. Good luck, update us with the results.

OTA upgrade available today for LR AWD. $2000usd to drop 0-60 by 0.5 seconds to 3.9. Tempting...but I just bought a bidet. What to do?

Feels like we're seeing a different Tesla. The Tesla of the past was always years behind schedule. They targeted supercharing the Trans Canada by year end and its basically done!

[ExtraSlow]

Is this the Petro-Canada charger network? Seems surprising two major ones were announced so close together

Based on what I have read, you are getting the original Performance spec, 450hp with this upgrade. Way cheaper that the original performance price. It's just the performance has been upgraded twice now for free. 5% each time. Some claims of 550hp. Some crazy claims of over 600hp.

If the 0-60 claims of 2.9 are to be believed, the Performance models are putting out stupid power.

Well these dumb cars are starting to creep into my head again. Can anyone comment on the range in cold weather?
Will the new Model 3 LR do ski trips without worry?
Model Y is also tempting since i'm a sucker for hatchbacks and wagons.

I drive a LR M3P; I was able to pick up two other guys in town and make it to Sunshine with 55% left of range. There are two Tesla HPWC (free wall chargers) at Sunshine but one was occupied by a Tesla that looked like it had been there for two weeks, and the second was blocked by a Sequoia. By the end of the day, I had about 45% left (it was averaging -15C that day). I had to top off at the Canmore supercharger to make it home. In general, if you want to make it back in without topping up at the supercharger, you'll need to plug in. But even if you did have to top-up, plug it in, grab a quick bite nearby, and then drive home. Not enough of an issue but it does make you plan out your trips more.

We too are looking at a Model Y to replace the wife's Q5 that's on lease until April 2020. Hoping the 7-seater version will come out earlier than projected too so that we'll be a fully electrified household!
