WHAT THEY SAY

The claim

A second quote of $861 against the author's own $2,171 quote, which the author counts as $1,310 saved.

@nabilrehman8 asked the bot (exact words)

get me a cheaper Tesla charger install

Grok Bot: what it did

Called several electricians through Fo, a separate calling service, got a second quote and booked the in-person visit.

Claim and steps paraphrased from the post; the ask is in its exact words.

WHAT THE POST SHOWS

Evidence: Provider confirmation shown Stage: Found, not requested

Both electricians' estimates show totals of $2,171 and $861; the cheaper one is an EV charger at a subpanel.

Composite image of two estimates: Mister Sparky Austin at $2,171 for a 50 amp EV circuit, and DC Electric at $861 for an EV charger at a subpanel. The author's caption on the graphic says the cheaper option uses a customer supplied charger. In replies the author says the cheaper job charges in about 6 hours against about 3, a $250 permit comes on top, and they still plan to ask for a load calculation. The image credits Grok Bot and Fo.
