What happens here

Before starting any electrical work, ensure the power to the circuit you will be working on is completely shut off at the main electrical panel. Verify this with a non-contact voltage tester or a multimeter. The video starts with the installer preparing his tools from a Milwaukee PACKOUT system and donning his tool belt. It's implied that the Tesla Wall Connector's mounting bracket has already been secured to the wall, and the appropriate electrical conduit has been run with the feeder wires (two hot wires, typically black and red, and one ground wire, typically green or bare copper) pulled through to the installation point.

Goal: Gather necessary tools and ensure electrical safety
