I was thinking the negative energy charges wouldn't offset the fixed portion of the bill, but I haven't read the details to figure it out.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article288420595.html $298.80 in fixed charges annually starting late next year. A big win for PG&E, CPUC and the governor (who signed it off in 2022)

I started getting a new energy statement (blue and white bill) with additional details compared to before. The black and white bill is nowhere to be found. Is this an update everyone is getting? I liked the B&W bill because it showed my monthly NBCs, whereas this newer B&W bill is not as...

That has nothing to do with the computer upgrade.

I read the transcript and I didn't see Elon's reply indicating no. I only read the following referencing FSD transfer: Martin Viecha OK. A couple of more questions. So, our favorite, can we make FSD transfer permanent until FSD is fully delivered with Level 5 autonomy? Lars Moravy -- Vice...

Thanks! How about charging to 100% from grid (for roadtrips), it seems that is not possible unless I turn off Charge on Solar :/

Doesn’t seem to let me do that. I tap start charging and the car won’t charge from the grid if there is not enough solar.

True but who knows what price FSD will be at that point. Whereas now I can lock in the $2k price and use the FSD features.

The issue is when I toggle Charge on Solar off, it's not easy to toggle Charge on Solar back on since it doesn't appear in the app all the time. Is there a way to override and charge the car from the grid when Charge on Solar is enabled?

Keep pushing on it. Initially I was told the computer upgrade would be customer pay too.

Same situation as you. I put in a service request for computer upgrade last night, I was told if I buy FSD the computer upgrade would be free.

I have a 2018 Model 3. I’m tempted to purchase so there is possibly another window of time in the future where I can transfer FSD to a new vehicle. That way my $5k sunk cost can be recovered. What’s your thought process for those that have already purchased EAP?

Are they planning to install the superchargers in the middle of the parking lot? It's an unusual location since those are prime parking spots for actual Burger King customers, I'd imagine a lot of non-teslas will end up parking there and blocking the spots, though Teslas can park on the...

Are you in a community choice aggregration program? My 2nd true up will occur in April with San Jose Clean Energy, so that may be why PG&E B&W bill isn't indiciating any credits for excess energy generation. I have access to cheaper charging at work combined with limited time unlimited...

No mention of export surplus credits yet. Last year my system generated 9.3 MWh and I consumed 8.1 MWh (including car charging). I ended up adding a second powerwall, so I am considering running more appliances like my washer/dryer during part peak / peak to limit my NBCs. It’s good that you...

This happened to me yesterday. I restarted the app and it was categorized correctly again.

MDC going up to $0.39167 is what caught my eye. Assuming NBCs are $.0313 (anyone confirm?) then we can pull 4567 kWh from grid annually without additional charges.

Yup, net exporter here. I did export everything from time to time to participate in grid-energy saving program. But for the most part, it's just letting solar charge up my powerwalls (I added a second one late last year) and exporting the excess back to the grid. Otherwise, I don't pull any...

Would have been a lot more had I not switched to self powered a few months back.

Just had my second true up with PG&E. I fumbled on managing my NBCs this year so I had to pay $8 extra. If I don't normally charge my cars during the daytime with excess solar NBCs would have been much much higher.

4 Tesla superchargers under construction in Milpitas, amazing!

If the physical space is already blocked off and trenching already started does that count as construction or still permit stage?

Is this one stuck in the permitting process?

Yeah, so it's cheaper in Jan then with the 15% markdown. Lol.

$33k before taxes and fees you mean?

Though new inventory 2023 MY is now cheaper than with fed tax credit purchased in 2023… doh!

Awesome! Purchasing MY in Dec turned out to be a very wise decision, given it's actually just a software limited battery so we can charge to 100% without hurting the battery, plus before Tesla downgraded the audio system from premium to "custom"

How big is the battery pack?

Does anyone know how long it takes before the Tesla app updates the PG&E rates in the utility rate plan? If I manually edit it, does it affect historical energy value $?

EV2A off-peak is $.34462 effective 1/1/24! All our systems' ROI are accelerating...

Oh sorry, I meant MBC. does MBC include taxes and fees? My NBCs are getting close to the MBC but if it includes taxes and fees then I have more wiggle room.

How much are NBCs annually? Does it include fees and utility fees? If so, around $144 or less than that?

Yup, there were destination chargers where I used to charge at 48A with my LR RWD 3. Not sure at what point mine failed since my charging rate as home (before wall connector) was 24A. Thanks, Jason

my 2018 LR RWD 3 has PCS error too. I’ve been charging at 24A and didn’t notice it until I got the wall connector installed this month. Maxes out at 32A. We are expected to pay for it out of pocket after the 4 year limited warranty?

Yup I’m on TOU plan. When I was testing whether the CT worked it was already part peak, so I inadvertently discovered that’s how it is supposed to work described in post #18.

I texted the installer that came to my house to install my Powerwall expansion last month and explained the situation. I asked him directly to provide a quote for parts and labor and scheduled a visit. I had to pay extra, but it was worth it without having to go thru the pain of getting formal...

oh how cool! I really had no idea that’s how it’s supposed to work after adding CT. I thought CT was just simple monitoring but it is so nice that the powerwalls can still charge my car when connected to the grid (which I won’t though, I’ll be charging during on peak hours when there is excess...

Good news, I got the CT installed so now I am seeing the wall connector power usage in the Tesla app! The odd thing is that the circuit is on the main panel, but when I plugged into my car to draw, the Tesla app indicated it was pulling power from my two powerwalls. Not sure how that is...

Yup, this is the only non backed up load--my wall connector. All other circuits are backed up. WC was installed after the power walls. Thanks for the tip, I will reach out to Tesla.

is it still possible to have Tesla add the CTs after powerwall/solar installation? I wonder what the cost of the service will be.

When they say them.. are you referring to Tesla? If I want to add CT monitoring to the wall connector breaker, can I do that myself (with some educated DIY or explain what needs to be done to a handy friend), or Tesla has to do it? The sub panel with the critical loads (everything but the wall...

It was something I didn't realize or explained until after installation... now if I charge with wall connector I don't see the usage at all in the app, meaning the home usage will be very off. Is there a way to add CT to measure the energy usage from the main panel breakers? The sub panel was...

The advisor said it was extended, but I'm skeptical to trust the words of a random advisor via text reply

For 6.12kw system, would 3 or 4 powerwalls be overkill?

Contact your city / county

I’m in NEM 2.0. If I add another powerwall, will my true up date reset to the new PTO date, causing me to lose all my accumulated credits YTD? I know that only adding batteries will not push me into NEM 3.0.

And will the existing solar panels charge the newly installed powerwall? I see that Tesla now offers expansion discount install the powerwall without needing to find a 3rd party

Ok I found another thing I miss from the old graphs. I like to look at the monthly charts and for solar generation it used to indicate average solar generated per day

It's amazing how that spot is still sitting empty after so long

The y axis got fixed, better now. Now the only thing I miss is the net usage from grid without needing to calculate it myself
