There's a pattern with Tesla threads here. I don't care if you all wanna discuss the deal or the cars but it always turns into paaaages and paaaages of bickering back and forth and nobody ,except for the few involved, enjoy that or wanna wade through that. So cut that stuff out, please and thank you.

Plus, Tesla has, by far, the most cash on hand versus debt in the auto industry- and quite good profit margins- they're not going anywhere.
Also can anyone ballpark a price for installing the fastest charger in a residential garage?
Nobody installs one at home though.
Your primary, realistic choices are:
Just plug it into a normal 120v wall socket... depending on the amperage it'll get you roughly 3-4 miles per hour of range--- typically people are at home 12-14 hours a day, so 36-56 miles of range added daily... which is more than the average american drives in a day. And it's free (other than buying the charger itself for a few hundred bucks).
or
Plug it into (or have it wired into) a 240v circuit. This can be as cheap as $0 (plus the charger itself for a few hundred bucks) if you already have a 240v plug available (some homes have them for hot tubs, electric dryers, welders, etc)... they even make inexpensive things to let you, say, share the plug the dryer attaches to, since you're probably charging the car while you sleep, but not drying clothes then. If not the cost to add one can vary wildly depending on where your install location is, where your fusebox is, and how much spare power is avialable in it. Also if you can do your own wiring or not. Could be like $50 in parts and DIY. Could be thousands of dollars if your fusebox has no open breakers and is the complete opposite side of your house from where you want it added. As to speed- depending on the amps of the plug and the specific charger you get something in the range of 22-45 miles of range added per hour... so really any of those speeds is going to be good enough for overnight charging to wake up as charged as you like each morning even if you drive 200 miles a day or something crazy.
You don't need 7.5k in tax liability, you get 7.5k credit at point of sale and the IRS won't ask for any of it back even if your liability ends up being $0.
How's a car from a company about to go out of business a better deal?
Car has different prices?
