What happens here

After inserting the stripped ends of the wires into their respective terminals (two hot wires to L1 and L2, ground wire to the ground terminal) within the Tesla Wall Connector's wiring block, use a screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws. It's crucial to tighten these screws to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. Over-tightening can damage the terminal or wire, while under-tightening can lead to loose connections, arcing, and a fire hazard. If available, use a torque screwdriver for precision.

Goal: Securely fasten wires to terminals
