I am having flickering problems again. This has returned after two years of no problems. The last time Tesla adjusted my setting, and everything was perfect. However, Tesla put me through an exercise with PG&E before they realized it was a problem on their system. PG&E was perfect, no...

I have two Power-walls here in Northern California. I keep them 50% charged all the time for backup and use the other 50% to power my house during PG&E peak billing hours. So during the day, at least in the summer they always charge to 100% and quickly, the I use 50% to power the house at...

Tesla recommends Time Based Control to maximize your saving. My installation is 48 panels and 2 power walls over the last several years I used Self Powered. However I thought I would give TBC a try. I am a PG&E TOC Rate C customer using MCI. What is going on? My Power Walls are charged to...

When launching the Tesla app on my Android smartphone it is showing old charging data, and then displays "Check Internet Connection". This is recent and happens a lot. I have excellent wifi network, powerwall app works fine, why is the Tesla App doing this. Worked for several years without an...

I keep getting that the Tesla App will not update and it is not connected to the Internet on my Pixel 8 Android Phone. Intermittent it comes and goes, but difficult to get it connected back to internet with android wifi. I am connecting via my very strong wifi network, no connection issues...

When I originally had this happen it was really bad. These spikes, short interruptions actually caused all my equipment in house to freeze, blinking lights, etc, really bad. Tesla told me it was PG&E so I went through a lot of trouble with PG&E., and they were really supportive and helpful...

I have 2 PW, 48 panels. Short outages, this is happening a lot, 6 times in September, I get outages, a few seconds, or one minute. No one in my area is having any power glitches, or spikes. PG&E has load tested, and my equipment is perfect performing perfectly. I have complained to Tesla...

Not sure if this has been discussed but I don't understand the differences and what is best to use to insure you do not have a large true-up bill at the end of the year. I am on the PG&E plan that charges a premium for usage between 4pm and 9pm. Last year I used self powered and with the...

Thanks, because it is the whole house, how would a kill a watt meter show voltage for the whole house. Not sure how I would use it. Also, PG&E did extensive testing at the meter. "PGE voltage at meter on 4/0 service feed is very good 121.3 / 121.2 to neutral. Hooked load center on service at...

Started about a week or so ago with slight dimming of the lights, never before, then started getting clicking from my power surge protector and conditioners, and then about 4 days ago it has gotten worst with house randomly shutting down. My first notice of something wrong was in Back up...

The Tesla System is causing my house to have intermittent hard stops, lights flash violently, house crashes. The house then starts back up but I have to reset modems, flat screens, appliance LRF's, etc, annoying. Tesla blamed PG&E but after extensive testing the PG&E service is perfect...

I have issues with Tesla energy system, 48 panels, 2 PW's. It seems to be spiking my voltage levels. My utility PG&E has tested the service connection and it is perfect, no fluctuations. Tesla is investigating the issue. I was thinking of resetting the gateway, but can not find any info on...

Over the last several days, my back up shows literally dozens of 1 sec outages. Also I have noticed some of my LED lights flickering. I don't know if this is somehow related, but something is strange. Below is a screen shot from the APP showing just a few of these. I have contacted Tesla...
