Hi
I finally took delivery of my Tesla battery ex Len at Advanced Parts in Auckland.
The delivery truck turned up, the driver took one look at my driveway and told me to follow him with my car and trailer. We went down to the local joinery shop and he borrowed their forklift to load the battery out of the truck and onto my trailer. That solved his problem but now I needed to lift the thing off my trailer and put it in my garage.
Well a tandem lift with an engine hoist, a chainblock and some heart in mouth and we've got it on blocks on the garage floor.
I've got a sparkie from Wellington jacked up to come down and help me with my temporary connection to get everything up and running. I've struck some resistance from local guys who simply put the whole thing into the 'too risky - too hard' basket and aren't keen to help/learn.
So next steps are:
1) Get the temporary connection up and running in the garage.
2) Build the housing for the permanent setup.
3) Install the battery in the permanent location.
4) Wire it all up again per (1).
5) Get it inspected and ticked off.
I'll post my shopping list for the installation shortly.
Cheers
