HOW TO INSTALL A TESLA WALL CONNECTOR UNIVERSAL IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The electrician threads the 6/2 Romex wire, with the 3/4 inch Romex connector attached, through the back of the Tesla Wall Connector's mounting plate. He then secures the mounting plate to the exterior wall using three screws, ensuring it is level and properly mounted. He explains that a wooden backplate was used behind the siding for a secure installation (though not directly visible in the video at this moment). The internal wiring of the charger is then connected: the two hot wires (one black, one re-identified white with black tape) are connected to their respective terminals, and the bare copper ground wire is connected to the ground terminal. Finally, the main cover of the Tesla Wall Connector is placed over the mounting plate and secured with four specialized security screws, two on the top and two on the bottom, using a 1/4 inch nut driver and a Tesla-supplied security bit.

Goal: Securely mount and connect the Tesla Wall Connector to the exterior wall.

So, this is the final step is installing the Tesla charger. And I'm going to show you guys how to install this charger. So, right now, you want to get the wire in, put your connector in, and you want to make sure you get this thing mounted properly. And I had a wooden back plate actually on the back of the charger. You can't see it because it's inside the garage. I screwed in three screws. And here's the wiring, everybody. You can see you want to curled up just like that. And that's exactly how you want to do the wiring. And just right there, I am now putting on the shell. And every Tesla wall connector has four security screws. Two on the top and two on the bottom. So you want to make sure you have a quarterinch nut driver. And you use the Tesla supplied bit and it's security bit so to make sure that nobody can just randomly unscrew the shell off. And guys, we are just finished. Everybody do a little flex for the celebration. And now we are about to just wrap the cord around the charger holster. This cord just wraps around the unit just like this. And boom, you can plug it the charger right in the side. And it looks clean as a whistle everybody. So here's a recap what we've
