Sources first
Each guide is built from primary sources where they exist: Tesla's installation and owner's manuals, NHTSA records, EPA ratings, the National Electrical Code as published by NFPA, and EIA price data. Where a figure varies (installation prices, electricity rates, Tesla Shop prices), the page says when it was checked.
What we will not do
- Publish a number we could not trace to a source.
- Invent owner stories, test results or quotes.
- Tell readers to do electrical work that needs a licensed electrician. Installing, moving or removing a hardwired 240 V charger is a job for a licensed electrician and often needs a permit.
Live data
Recall lists on the Tesla model-year pages refresh from the NHTSA API on a schedule. A recall only applies to a specific car if its VIN is listed, so the pages link to NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Updates and corrections
Pages carry the date they were last updated. When a reader reports an error and it is confirmed, the page is corrected and the date changes. Send corrections through the contact page.
