How to Install a Tesla Wall Connector in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES!
What happens here
Mount the backplate of the Tesla Wall Connector to the wall. The video emphasizes mounting it on a stud if possible; otherwise, use appropriate wall anchors to ensure a secure installation. Once the backplate is mounted, fish the electrical wires (No. 8 THHN wire, consisting of green, red, and black conductors, for a 40 amp breaker) from the conduit into the backplate, ready for termination.
Goal: Securely attach the charger's backplate and prepare for wiring
