Same.....no TOU option anymore but the Powerwall is operating in that model.. and yes, no firmware number on the bottom of the screen anymore either

System just installed yesterday. My powerflows arent reporting correctly and in fact are reporting solar going into the grid late at night whenever those circuits that aren’t on the powerwall system are on. Here’s my setup and a few examples and pics to help explain. 1). 2 Powerwall system...

Thx @phaduman Helpful!

Have now has this message twice in the last week upon entering my Model S (Mar 2017 - 15K miles) The car doors open fine. Message appears after sitting in the seat. Touchscreen is black. Energy saving is off. First time. Car had sat for only 5 hrs. 2nd time. Car hadn’t been driven...

Used the Model 3 windshield wipers for the first time today and was surprised to find the windshield fluid is built into the wipers themselves and not "spray nozzles mounted on/under the hood" as in most every other car I've owned. Very cool innovation.

Tried that exact thing. It’s a different charge port on the Model 3

100amps Less than 1 ur old.

1st time plugging Model 3 into my home HPWC. Chargeport light flashes yellow and only charges at 16 Amps. Unplug/Replug and try to "Set it" harder (up/down/left/right) several times. No matter what I do, there is loud clicking as if the chargeport is trying to "lock" into the HPWC cable but...

Same experience as @smorgasbord 1) Las Vegas Rep (I live in Bay Area) 2) Rep confirmed VIN is NOT ASSIGNED until Car is 100% complete and QA'd 3) I challenged Rep on this since it is 100% OPPOSITE how the Model S Production is done. 4) Rep confirmed again the Model 3 Production is currently...

Took my March 2017 Model S 100D in for a simple 12,000 mike service (annual maintenance). Absolutely no issues with the vehicle prior to taking it in. Received a call the next day that whole “pulling the logs” they noticed something odd with the high voltage bus. It wasn’t enough to ever...

Bottom Line: Don't Buy the MPG Caliper Covers Why?: 1) Primarily because you can PAINT all four with Tesla lettering for between $300-$450 (depending on location). At $249 for just the materials 2) The claims of brake dust reduction are false. The claims of heat reduction are false...

PARKING BRAKE RECALL ONLY....

Tesla issues voluntary recall for 53,000 cars due to a faulty gear in the parking brakes from 3rd-party supplier Only affects vehicles produced between Feb-Oct 2016. Quick fix at service center

If not mentioned before and given it's a STEM class, it's a great opportunity to teach the basis elec. engr equation of Watts = Volts x Amps and how to calculate the time to charge from different outlets.
