    Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

    I’m in. Waiting for mine to be built. That said, The esthetic of the peaked roof above the driver door is unappealing to me. If that angle was rounded into the roof, in my opinion, the appearance of the whole truck would be more attractive. so.... I think I will black it out, so it blends...

    Two week old Powerwall Install

    Yes, thank you it was very useful and I had read it previously. But it’s like pulling teeth to get it done. After about a month Tesla tier 2 support, responds via a CS person, that I need to get Enphase to change the must trip /. Shall trip frequency to 60.5, before Tesla can make the change...

    Traded in my 2018 LR RWD for AWD: Observations

    I’m sorry your car was damaged. it doesn’t look like $16 K worth of injury. Do you think repair cost are inflated because it’s a Tesla?

    SunPower monitoring with Powerwall 2

    I don’t have a SunPower system, so my experience may be different then yours. I’m replying because this was a pain point for me that took some time before I was able to resolve it. I have an Enphase system with Envoy monitoring. When Tesla installed my Powerwalls my consumption CTs for Envoy...

    Is my Powerwall an energy vampire?

    In FL the State’s Constitution was amended with a “Solar Bill of Rights”. Part of this are the Net Metering Rules. Energy sent to the grid is returned as energy from the grid. A credit only comes into play, if a surplus exists at the end of the year. The reimbursement rate is the utility’s...

    Is my Powerwall an energy vampire?

    I’m on my utilities residential standard rate plan. Last year the PV array met 100% of my energy and resulted in an end of year credit being applied to my account. Even if I never draw power from the Powerwalls, it’s looking like the parasitic energy use for conditioning the batteries will...

    Is my Powerwall an energy vampire?

    Thank you. I’m using an iPad, the “to powerwall”usage was below what the displayed showed on the screen.. I didn’t know more data was available if I scrolled down. I have net metering so the Powerwalls are on 100% backup. By looking at the single day Powerwall consumption, I see, on some...

    Is my Powerwall an energy vampire?

    Sorry to mislead you. My electric use last month was 1700 kWhs. The 4 Powerwalls are for Peak Energy in the unlikely event evert thing starts simultaneously. I worked pretty hard to get my use that low in the summer. Lots of insulation, high r rating hurricane glass. Solar operated fans...
