A Tesla was in front of me at the Starbucks drive thru a few weeks ago. I thought it was poorly designed and very cheaply made. Obviously I know zip about cars.
Yes. I figured that out without you having to tell me
A Tesla was in front of me at the Starbucks drive thru a few weeks ago. No joke, I thought it was poorly designed and very cheaply made. It had a wider rear, similar to other American cars. The only reason I even paid attention to the car was because the line was long and I had nothing else to look at. It was bewildering once I finally noticed that it was a Tesla. Obviously I know zip about cars.
Don't feel bad, I thought I was going to click on a thread about the bands reunion tour and see some sweet mullet pics. Most disappointing thread ever
I'm curious. Have the realtors started seeing any interest from buyers for 240V outlets in garages? Is this something that you can foresee being listed as a bonus/perk in the future?
I have 2 garages. The one attached to the house has a pitiful three 120V GFCI outlets, with one being pretty useless as it is on the ceiling for the garage door opener. The second garage is detached and has about 5 or 6 120V GFCI outlets, plus a big honkin' 240V outlet. It was installed for an air compressor, but could be a selling point for someone with an electric car.
That would be nice. We got a free one from Progress Energy back before they merged with Duke and ended the program.

I think they're beautiful.
Just out of curiosity, could you define "poorly designed and cheaply made?"

I had a 100 amp sub panel installed in my garage when the house was built (so I would have enough power for tools) but I knew it would make it very simple to add a 240 volt outlet for an electric car also.
Or one about Tesla vs Edison. Sadly, most people only know the name Tesla because of the band and car. Edison was a genius at marketing. Tesla was a genius inventor.

When we built our detached/alleyway garage last year, we pre-ran conduits and left enough box capacity to add 240V outlets in two of the three bays (the two largest - the third is for the garage-apartment tenant.) Definitely think that by the time we sell they will be needed. We also anticipate adding solar panels on the south-facing roof side to maximize our ability to get renewable energy for cars and our main house.
