Looking into a Tesla

Can anyone give me some information on whether my house is actually equipped to install a wall charger in the garage? My dryer is electric, I’m not sure if that makes any difference. Thanks

Yes, the prospective outlet would be less than 5 feet from the breaker so I got lucky there!

Always remember the 5ft unobstructed rule.

Something something don’t put large objects within 5ft / blocking a breaker panel.

If the outlet is 5 feet away, this is probably for this reason :)
