What happens here

Route the 6/2 Romex wire from the main electrical panel to the planned installation location for the Tesla Wall Connector in the garage. This process involves navigating through various parts of the house. In a finished basement with drop ceiling tiles, carefully remove tiles to run the wire above them. In unfinished areas like open basements, run the wire along joists, securing it with staples. For challenging sections, such as a crawl space under a slab house or deck, carefully run the wire through the space, ensuring it is properly supported and protected. The video shows running the wire from the main panel, through a finished basement, an unfinished basement, into a crawl space, and finally emerging at the garage through a pull box.

Goal: Safely and correctly run the necessary electrical wire to the charger's intended location.
