    For those that financed your system through Tesla, is this new? I don’t remember the financing option for solar being in app before. Do not see it in my previous screenshots either.

    Ironically even though both my wall ovens and my microwave both have WiFi only my microwave will reset its own time. Samsung and their lovely appliance fragmentation… 😂

    Yeah I haven’t had that happen from a firmware update but when the grid goes down my house house drops power before the powerwalls kick in. Doesn’t matter if I was already on the powerwall or not. Which is frustrating because my oven clock has to be reset haha.

    Yep mine is pretty much the same except throw in limestone to the mix for my upstairs and downstairs. The house is basically made out of everything haha. My thought is maybe building an outdoor kitchen someday and having them attach the powerwalls to the back wall of that. That won’t be anytime...

    Thinking about it. May hit you up at some point for the contact. Thanks

    That makes perfect sense. I figured there was something I wasn’t fully understanding. So if there is an air gap it would pull the brick layer inward and potentially collapse when they tighten it down. I don’t understand why the city forbids garage installs now. Just seems silly for no reason...

    Yeah they were like we can accommodate that spot but since your brick is not fully brick it won’t support the weight of the powerwalls. I’m like hmm but couldn’t the screws or whatever go through the brick and into the wood studs? Maybe I am missing something though. I am almost tempted to find...

    So maybe someone can explain this to me. Tesla said they can not wall mount powerwalls on my brick because the whole home is not fully brick. However behind that brick is the same studs in the garage that my existing powerwalls are attached to. Why would brick be less secure than drywall...

    Cool good to know they are telling me the truth. You never know with Tesla 😂 Also brining up my reserve to 80% they talking about hail and storms so figured bring up my backup reserve until it passes.

    Quick question for everyone that is on free nights and not using any grid power during peak. When you go to impact under time of use are you seeing grid usage listed there even when you have not used the grid during peak? Tesla has been telling me since June of last year that it’s a known...

    Yep after changing it manually for a couple of nights it tends to learn. Seems to be a common experience but I don’t know why it’s this way.

    For me at the time there was a longer contract on just energy for the green free nights. I wanted to lock it in for as long as possible.

    Also is this Tesla Assist beta thing new? It doesn’t work very well 😂

    Yeah the main thing that I like is it’s easy to switch between specific products. The hassle has been when you share a location from phone to car the phone sends it to the last car you had on the screen. So swiping to my solar meant 90% of the time the last car on the screen was the Model 3 and...

    Oh just opened my Tesla app and apparently they switched up the UI on the server side. No app update but all new navigation.
