This Will Save Your Life if You Charge Your Tesla on 14-50 Outlet!!

but you can understand it.a um, an extender for

this

, which is what I'm going to have to do, so I'm going to have to manage the store and get it and in the meantime, we're going to show you how to connect

this

, so we want to cut. back the excess I don't want to have too much but don't trim it too much you need to have room to work but you also need to be able to put these cables in the box uh with the excess and the good thing about This one in particular doesn't have a lot of twist at the bottom, they'll all be more or less equal, basically, this is the right way up and we have the ground on top and then everything else is on the bottom, we have our two.

Hots and we have our neutral, so ground, hot, hot, neutral, green, xxxy, white, that's how it's supposed to be oriented and for those clothes to come in and then it's going to go into place, so let's take them off too at the back of our Outlet. There's also this great handy setting that shows you how far you need to remove them. Now we're going to include all the backgrounds, which goes where obviously white is

your

neutral and nude is

your

ground, so that white is pretty self explanatory. to white ground to green now what about red and black which are your active contacts so in this particular situation it doesn't matter you can put red here red here black here black here red black red black it doesn't matter just you have to do it? we have both Hots in the hot position and that's all that matters so let's start by setting it up and there we go that's our indication that this is tight enough and this can be a little tricky because these wires are so thick that it gets very stiff there we go and we finally have our ground here so we're going to flip our ground LED on the side okay and with that I'm going to run to the store real quick and get an extension for this box.

I just got back to the hardware store. This is what we are going to use. It's an extension for the

outlet

and I'm pretty sure I can slide it in, but basically what it does is take your existing box and give you extra space. in this case, an extra inch, which is all we really need, so I'm going to open this up now and we'll set this up. The important thing about the particular model I chose is that we have the foam on the back. so it can help make a proper seal on this extension, so I'm going to go ahead and open up these holes here and now we're going to take our included fasteners here and open them up now that we have this setup.

Foam the best I can around these edges, some of it sticks out a little bit and that's okay, it's better not to go through the edge, which is all the way around, which

will

help keep it airtight there and the next thing we need. What you need to do is mount the actual plug into the box and we'll have a little fun doing that because these wires are pretty sturdy and now you know three of them plus ground, so in cases like this sometimes it's helpful to have a couple of pliers or whatever just to help.

Bend them a little to help them stay where you want, but don't accidentally cut them. Now we can go ahead, put the lid on and there we go. and it looks like you can even clip this on if you're worried about the kids messing with it or whatever, but it should be nice to do, but plugging and unplugging is really what this plug is all about, which actually feels pretty good , it's definitely tight. which is what you want, so it should last longer and it still seems to be working fine, so I think the only thing left to do is turn it on and see what happens.

This is good news, let me show you what I'm seeing. are on so in a few moments all those green lights should disappear and then we can see the status of this

charge

r, there you have it, so this is the moment of truth, that's a good start. I heard it click let's go to the car look what we're getting 243 volts that's good so 32 amps is normal because that's what I have this tube limited so yeah that looks good no problems to

charge

. I think we have everything set up correctly, as you can see. I still have a little work to do.

I have to plug this hole, but I'll do it later. The point is that our box is working, as you can see from the charger behind me, so this is great news again. look at what Outlet you have on your wall don't let this happen to you don't put yourself in this situation or your family in this situation I um, I'm very glad that things turned out the way they did and that our panel had all its safety measures security in place and actually did what it was supposed to do to prevent something quite catastrophic from happening.

Take some time in your garage. If you have an Outlet 1450, make sure it is an appropriate Outlet 1450. There's a link in the description again, the Bryant. One is the same as the Hubble, at least as far as I can tell, and is about half the price, so you'll want to consider any of them, so with this sort of thing, never mess around. If you don't feel comfortable doing even the things that I did today, hire an electrician, it's always better to hire an electrician, hire a professional to do this for you and then you won't have to think about it, but in my case , my professional.

You selected an

outlet

that wasn't good for this type of application, so I guess you get what you get, but at least check after your professional, maybe order the outlet, hire the professional, give it to them and tell them to install it, so What if you want to see more about how I configured this wall connector to work on a 1450. Make sure to watch this video up here. I hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you in the next one. Thanks thanks.
