    Re: I couldn't resist!

    Thank you so much. I found 2 other companies that make similar devices. I’ll check that one out.

    My dryer in the garage has a 10-30 outlet. I can easily use it with the splitter for changing my Tesla. I’ll get close to 20 miles per hour of charge. That’s more than enough for my daily 80-100 mile commute.

    And it's not about exploring the car's limits, at least not yet.

    It's about finding YOUR limits in maneuvering that gorgeous hunk of metal.

    Seems like every other time or so that I have a new RoomPlay Reference client, he will be in a Porsche, Maserati, Corvette, etc…

    When I mention the track day - after the RPR learning/listening session – I'm continually amazed that almost none of them have ever put themselves on the track with their cars.

    When they do book a track day or two, they report back at how much more confident they are when driving now, and how much more fun they are having, even in simple daily driving.

    In fact, I wouldn't be alive today if my car had continued along a totally unexpected patch of ice in a curve in the mountains back in 2008. Just a few feet before the car headed off the 1800 foot drop, I managed to reverse it's direction.

    Without my track experience, as well as auto-x, it would have been all over.

    More fun, yet more safety! What's not to like?
    Interesting. I spent 5 years roadracing motorcycles at Sonoma Raceway with AFM. Also, LOTS of track days. All those years racing and riding in track days really improved my skills as a car driver. Made me much, much smoother and also taught me about vehicle dynamics, braking, keeping the car "balanced", and "looking" into the corner, etc.

    The one thing I used to hate was you'd be driving down the road & for that second or 2 you were driving as if you were riding your m/bike & taking up 2 lanes.

    I have no clue what you're talking about. Taking up 2 lanes?

    Are you going to get the level 2 charging unit for the home and I recommend also get an adapter to use Chargpoint stations if you decide to travel outside the city and NO Telsa charging stations are close . .

    I was planning on sharing the 10-30 dryer outlet in my garage but I’m thinking it more prudent to have a dedicated level 2 installed. Now I’m debating between the new Tesla wall mount charger or the recommended 14-50 outlet installed with cord. My only big hurdle is the AC panel is across the house in the basement, could not be any further away. Damn.

    My neighbor is an electrician so I need to discuss it with him. I don’t plan on being in the house more than 4 years or so. Whatever I do the dryer outlet needs upgrading for sure. A slightly slower charge at 15-21 mph should not be a problem

    Re: I couldn't resist!

    If you are only going to be in the house for four more years I'd opt for the dryer outlet or use a regular 110volt and the supplied power charger that comes with the car. The price of copper and hookup price for a long run will never be appreciated. And the new owner will just thank you. For long trips you still have the Tesla supercharging network.

    Re: I couldn't resist!

    The only problem with a standard 120v outlet is that I’ll be in a constant deficit because my commute is at least 80 miles round trip and with some side trips, up to 100 miles a day. The dryer outlet and something like a dryer buddy, makes the most sense.

    I don't know what you're inferring, but I never think I am "momentarily on my bike" when driving the car.

    I raced and trained really hard for years and years and years to ride or drive with maximal discipline, at all times.
