    Tesla Announces Powerwall 3 "DC Expansion"

    Why would you say that? You only heat the water you use, instead of the water you use plus keeping it hot 24hrs a day. A quick search on Google for "energy used water heater 50 gal vs. tankless" shows a 30% avg savings with a tankless.

    Discussion: Powerwall 3 [Speculation / Discussion etc]

    With 3x Powerwall 3's what is the max discharge rate. I realize the max discharge rate for one Powerwall 3 is 11.5. I don't know if that changes with multiple Powerwalls.

    Why tesla data drop out & solar meter communication error

    It looks like your power production was doing just fine. It looks like you had a communication error on your network. Is it possible your router or switch had a problem during that time?
