Tesla Wall Connector for CyberTruck -- get Gen 3 now or wait for Gen 4?

[dempster]

My question is, do you think it is ok to get the Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 now for the CyberTruck or is it better to wait closer to launch to see if a Tesla Wall Connector Gen 4 is released?

we have 2 gen 3’s and 1 gen 2 wall connectors hooked up for our current cars… with that being said, I would not suggest you to buy one until we get the charging capability of the truck.

As a customer of Austin Energy, I can get a 50% rebate from the utility on a EVSE installation. However, applicants must first own an EV (they ask for the VIN lol).

I'll start shopping for installers once production starts, and pull the trigger when Tesla gives me a VIN.

I would like to get the input of members. I would like to get a Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 installed. My question is, do you think it is ok to get the Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 now for the CyberTruck or is it better to wait closer to launch to see if a Tesla Wall Connector Gen 4 is released?

Get good solid high-amperage wiring installed, then swap in whatever charger you need later.

If you think V2H will be in your future, make sure you route the wiring to make that easy. Exactly how to do this will depend on how things are laid out in your house -- but, in mine, the optimal routing goes near where I would need to put in a transfer switch anyway.

I've been specing out a charger upgrade for my house, and the wiring costs as much as the Tesla charger, and routing it is most of the work. Most houses will be like this, unless you have an electrical panel in your garage.

What you need to know is that the wiring is an independent piece of the puzzle, and is the peer of the charger/wallbox in terms of cost (and more in terms of installation effort). Get the wiring right, and upgrading the charger is easy (assuming you understand electrical safety on residential systems).

It depends if you are in a construction or remodeling phase now. If yes, then it makes sense to add the Wall Connector now.

If you are not then there is no hurry to add one now as we are around a year out from the CT production ramp where early reservation holders start getting their trucks. (yes I know that initial production will likely start this summer but it will be a slow ramp before any meaningful production is met)

Here are also a couple of qualifying questions for you.
1) How early of a reservation do you have?
2) Which version are you interested in buying?

Since we do not know for sure which version will be at launch, the version you are wanting could possibly be pushed out until later in 2024 or further beyond.

does anyone know if the cyber truck can be charged by the Tesla Wall Charger? its a 48amp single phase unit

For many owners home charging is one of the benefits because you always have a full tank of gas, so to speak.
