Baby Shark! Lol!

2022 MP3 and no trial for me either... Are they rolling it out in some sort of staggered fashion, because my luck in those situations is always to be last in the cue :( 99.9% of people will be talking about new software updates, and then I'll get it like 2 months later :( I'm not really...

So this afternoon I was looking at my solar performance (So happy with the TeslaPowerwall and solar setup!) In the morning I was thinking that today would be a great day to monitor production since the forecast was for absolutely cloudless skies and mild temperatures. Getting closer to the...

Ah! That makes sense now! Too funny! So I guess it was a moderate coincidence that the two numbers were always very close to one another all of last year from month to month, but never actually EXACTLY the same... I was always assuming that the reason they were always "almost the same" was...

Yes, But... 9.6Kw +1 Powerwall+ I have to be a bit stingy in the evenings and monitor the best times to charge the car... My houses' "heartbeat" energy usage is .4-.6Kw and if I am proactive about things like not using the clothes dryer or oven or dishwasher etc after the sun goes down and...

Apologies that it took me so LONG to post the content of my two bills (blue and B&W) I get easily distracted and sometimes don't make it back to the site as often as I should :( Here is the first page of the B&W bill and the relevant page of the standard blue bill for the month of October...

Is it possible for the two different bills to be “out of sync” either timewise or calculation wise? My NEM Credit on my blue PG&E bill is over $100 less than what it states on my multipage B&W PG&E detail bill with all the analysis and details… Even though the period of service is shown as...

I’ve noticed that on days where it’s a bit rainy, or even if the road is just wet, if I supercharge sometimes I’ll get quite a bit of steam rising from under the car after it’s been charging for a bit. Is this normal? I doublechecked to make certain it was steam and not smoke (smell and the...

I have a Solar system consisting of panels, Powerwall+, and Gateway 2. I’m currently running the Tesla App with wireless connection to the Gateway and the M3P. I know the inverter with the powerwall+ has it’s own wireless connectivity that has to be set up within 15 minutes after powering up...

This EXACT same thing happened to me on my brand new battery install! Actually it happened DURING the first powerup test. Bottom right of the inverter there is a brass drain plug, a large allen. During provisioning there were 3 to 4 drips of blue fluid on top of the battery under the...

I would never do it this way! A roofing contractor will be inclined to give a reason why your roof is “bad” and you need a whole new roof, and Tesla were turn around and say, “See? it’s not our fault” I’m not saying anyone is “bad” here, but generally mixing one company trying to maximize...

Yup, and 70 years ago they used to encourage Tour de France riders to smoke cigarettes while riding, because it “opened up the lungs” History will always be filled with instances of outlandish ideas that went out of favor in the light of irrefutable evidence. EV adoption by the masses will...

Oh thank you for pointing that detail out! Yes, I read the pressure as 42 on all 4 wheels with my manual gauges in the garage in shade, and then roll at neighborhood speed for about a 1/4 mile or so until the sensors in the wheels update. at the speed and distance I've gone to compare against...

EPA Mileage is done using very non-realworld conditions. They also use the legal get out of jail free term of “Your mileage may vary” which is exactly akin to the blanket Catholic Absolvement, “I forgive you of all your sins” No one seems to realize that what Tesla says in their ads and...

I have 3 tire pressure gauges; A Snap-on/Blue-point, a Jaco, and a Motion-Pro. All three are considered excellent quality gauges ranging in accuracy from +\-.25% to +\-.5%. I fill my tires (Hankook Evo AS 18” 235/45s) to 42 PSI according to all three guages, which have always agreed with one...
