Ordering Tesla Model Y

On September 21, 2021, after a lot of discussions with Inna, I placed an official order for a Tesla Model Y. I selected the following Tesla Model Y options:

  • White paint
  • Tow Hitch (for attaching mountain bike racks)

The estimated delivery time is March 2022 (7 months away)!


I also initiated the effort to install an EV Charger at our home by contacting the following Electric Contractors:

  • AY Emp - highly recommended on Yelp
    • Charles (408)-568-3005 responded to emails and text messages
    • Quoted $600 - $800
  • David Electric - highly recommended on Nextdoor (local)
    • Albert (408)-841-1510. 
    • Visited home on 9/23/21. The estimated cost is $750 for the Nema 14-30R plug installed in the garage.
    • Gen 2 NEMA Adapters (tesla.com) - $35 (to connect from 14-30 outlets to Tesla Mobile Adapter)
  • GE Richardson - recommended by Tesla
    • George(408) 438-1192 - waiting for a quote
  • Willow Glen Electric (charging@evxperts.com) - recommended by Tesla
    • William Welch (will@willowglenelectric.com) asked for photos
    • Waiting for a quote
  • CS Electric (cs.electric@hotmail.com)- highly recommended by Yelp
    • Ciao (949)-239-8233 has not responded to my emails or text messages
I can use the Tesla Mobile Connector (included with Model Y) to connect to the 220V 30A Nema 14-30R socket.
