What happens here

A 6 AWG / 2-conductor (plus ground) metal-clad (MC) cable is routed from the electrical panel to the location of the Tesla Wall Connector. The video highlights that the cable was run 'in the wall' without needing to cut drywall, suggesting careful routing through existing structures like stud bays or chases. The cable type ensures proper current carrying capacity for a 60 Amp circuit.

Goal: Run 6 AWG metal-clad cable from the panel to the charger location

Tools and materials

  • 6 AWG Metal-Clad — Carrying electrical current from the panel to the EV charger
  • Fish Tape — Pulling cable through walls or conduit
  • Stud Finder — Locating studs and identifying clear paths in walls

What they say

Hide

All right, we just installed an electric vehicle charger, 60 amp for a Tesla Model Y. We ran 62 metal clad cable in the wall. No need for cuts. We don't do cuts. The whole run was 6 gauge thhn. And we got our conduit 3/4 in EMT, guys. See? Nice and hidden actually. Nice and low going up around the garage door. And boom, guys. You see the Tesla wall
