Nothing to do today

So I installed the charger. Already had bought 6/3 NM-B from eBay, then went to Home Depot for the other stuff I needed. 5 hours later here’s the end result:

Nice work, Jim. How about opening the door and getting a look-see inside photo?

Sure, no problem. Only issue I ran in to was the screws provided were not long enough to use the spacer, so it took another trip to HD for some longer stainless lag screws. Perhaps I was shorted a longer set of screws from Porsche.

Love the pictures @flickroll, to accompany your vehicle on those long dark nights. Always nice having pictures of siblings around.

Clean install too.

Thank you. The butcher block is a space saver that unfolds to a small work top in my somewhat space limited garage for when I have a car project going on. Got it from Amazon, and the legs from Lowes, all for pretty cheap. I’ll post an unfolded picture of it tomorrow when a parked car is out of the way. It came in very handy for the numerous modding projects I did with my now gone 991.2 GTS. Convex mirror came from Amazon and is attached to my tool chest to make sure I don’t hit anything when parking a car in the tight garage.

Now you see it.

Now you don’t.

The intruding charger has taken away a little utility of the work table so I may relocate the table.

Is the plug installed upside down to get this setup?

I used a Leviton and the labeling on it is right side up. But I checked it before I screwed it to the box.

I am about to install the NEMA 14-50 outlet for the Porsche charger with its box even though I do not have the charger itself yet. When you state “right side up” does that mean the ground pin at 12 o’clock or at 6 o’clock? Thanks for helping all of us out this way.

I’m talking about the lettering on the metal plate of the receptacle which is hidden by the receptacle cover. But the lettering on the phenolic piece is upside down. To remove all confusion, here is a picture of it. So the ground pin is down.

Very clear. Thanks a million.

You are very welcome. Sorry for any confusion.
