I called Tesla support and they had me do a manual reset. After that the issue with false readings for home and grid went completely haywire with the app showing nonsensical readings and power flows. E.g home shows demand increasing to 13 kW from 0 kW at random times (both readings are wrong of...

How did this get resolved in the end? Did your NEM 2 get reinstated?

I have a partial home backup with 1 PW2 paired with solar. We just got CTs installed that transmit the whole home load to the Gateway. The Tesla app is correctly showing data when the home is a net consumer from the grid. However, when the PW is exporting power to the grid along with solar, the...

I think you maybe right. I currently have enphase microinverters in all my solar panels and those feed into a 15A breaker on my meter + 200 A combo panel. My understanding is that because the gateway needs to be right downstream of the meter before power flows to the house, the combo panel...

Thanks so much all

I have a solar system that is grandfathered under NEM 1.0 from 2016. If I add a powerwall what PG&E paperwork should I or my contractor submit to ensure that I don't lose NEM 1.0 status? I ask because there seems to be a few contractor or utility caused screwups that have gotten people bumped...

I am considering adding 1 PowerWall to pair with my existing 3.36 kW solar system in Oakland, CA (PG&E territory). The solar panels each have their own enphase microinverter. The two contractors we have received quotes from have said that even though I have a 200 A main panel with in-built...

These exact notifications just came up on my app. I am far from the car. It's a rainy day, so I am hoping it's a false alarm.

Not yet. Will do shortly. Good to know you also had everything taken care of at Discount Tire

Are you saying that if Tesla tries to charge me I can take the car to Discount tire even though I didn't buy the tire from them and they will do the paperwork for the warranty? Appreciate the ideas on leak detection too. Thank you!

Yes, this slow leak definitely appears to be covered by the Tire warranty from Continental. And their warranty doc says to take it to the original seller of the vehicle. Tesla better not charge me for this. I'll post again to update for everyone else's knowledge.

Thanks so much! Dumb question: where do I find the tire warranty coverage?

My Model Y's interior temps are reaching >100 when the outside temperature is quite low (in the low 60s) if the car has direct sun on it. Is this because of the no-tint front windows and windshield? I've never had a car that reported interior temperature when parked so I don't know whether this...

My Model Y was delivered about 45 days ago with one tire that has a slow leak. I've had to fill that tire twice already while the rest haven't lost much pressure. I made a service appointment. The service center sent an estimate that is almost $500 if the tire is to be replaced after inspection...

Are you allowed to apply for a new decal for a second new EV in the same year? Owner will be the same. Or are there restrictions on the number of decals any one person can apply for?
