Hi, all -
Floridian here. Bought a used 2019 SL+ a couple of days ago and love it so far! I was amazed at the ride quality that was not there when I test drove a M3 and MY (not to mention $). Been stalking the threads over the last week or so trying to figure out long-term charging options. I have a 220V 6-20 30A in the garage now (thanks to a previous homeowner dinking with the original installation) and going to swap out that circuit for a 240V 14-50 50A. At least, then I can upgrade from the trickle. I hesitate to get a hardwired solution between the price of the unit and someone to come install (could do myself, but my wife doesn't trust me and electricity. )
I ordered an EVSE off Amazon with a 6-20 already, but honestly was nervous about the build quality and what it would do to the (new to me) car I just bought, so I very quickly returned. Seems like the majority here uses the OEM or a ClipperCreek model (6-8 wk lead time), and when looking at the EVSE list, many look like they either no longer make or are totally out of stock for the foreseeable future . I've also seen some latest reviews that the JuiceBox's are having some quality issues, at least those reporting on Amazon. With the LEAF being around so long, I'm honestly quite surprised that there isn't a greater OEM infrastructure like that of Tesla - am I missing something?
Thanks for the help and look forward to many (zero gas) adventures with you all!
