    Default Electrician help on installing NEMA-14-50 outlet

    Hello all, I need some help installing one or maybe two NEMA-14-50 outlet in my garage. Any electricians here near DTC area can help out? I'm no electrician, so if I need to pay and enrich someone I'd like to enrich a fellow gun nut.

    Some info about my house's breaker box and garage: the breaker box in on the exterior wall of the house in the back yard. The garage door is facing the same way as the back yard, the breaker box is about 15 feet away from the garage door. I'm guessing I can lay the cable without cutting the walls too much.

    Did you get a Tesla ?

    A bunch of questions first, How close is your circuit breaker panel to the garage ?
    How many spare spaces is in the panel ?
    Is your garage finished, or is there a finished wall(s) between the panel & garage ?
    What is the distance between where you want the outlets ?

    Edit:
    Guess I should have read all of your post first, you already answered some of my questions.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    I did get a Tesla. The walls are finished but they ain’t the prettiest walls, I don’t think the panel has more spares left.

    Can always surface run conduit on the walls, no need to hack them apart.

    Hopefully you have some standard breakers you can swap for some "skinnies" or you're gonna need a sub-panel
