What happens here

On the exterior, carefully land and torque the #6 gauge conductors and the #10 gauge ground wire into the appropriate terminals within the Tesla EV charger backplate. It is crucial to ensure all connections are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications to prevent loose connections, which can cause heat buildup and potential hazards. Once all wires are securely connected, install the main Tesla Wall Connector unit onto its backplate. Neatly coil the charging cable around the unit as designed. Turn the 40 Amp double-pole circuit breaker ON in the electrical panel. Verify that the indicator lights on the Tesla charger illuminate, signifying that it is receiving power and is ready for use. This confirms a successful installation, adhering to the 80% rule for continuous loads (a 40A breaker supports a 32A continuous load).

Goal: Complete the physical installation and make the charger operational

Tools and materials

electrical panel. I installed my 40 amp double pole circuit breaker and boom, boom, boom. Had to do a couple big booms because we just got the breaker in safely and we're about to finish. So, I start landing and torquing my conductors into the EV charger. You want to make sure connections are nice and tight since this is going to be a continuous load. 40 amp circuit breaker installed, which means 32 amp continuous load from the EV charger. The 80% rule. Green lights on. So, you know what that means? We finished. Customer is satisfied. I put my tools away. And that's what a day in the life of an electrician looks
