all right this is what you want to get but don't get this why because this is a Nema and any electrician that's listening to this right now and homeowner this costs more to get this installed versus this okay why why is that Chris because this charger requires an additional conductor while this one does not you mean the the Nema 1450 requires a full-size neutral and it also requires a GFCI breaker right where if you hardwire it m you you only need the two Hots in the ground now we're told that this is an 80 amp charger pzy that means it's 100 amp breaker yeah that's insane yep based on your experience Chris from 1 to 10 mhm how would you rate the Lucid versus the Tesla personally the Tesla wall connector is the best charger because it's the easiest to install and I think it's the cleanest but I like the tech of the Lucid overall I'm going to give this an 8 out of 10 okay and the Tesla is going to be a 10 out of 10 wow that's awesome mhm all right I appreciate that
