Tesla navigation is showing this charger is down?

Just a little update. After a few weeks of charging to 90% (instead of 80%) and running the battery down to <10%, the BMS now shows a max of 269 miles. Better than 255 but still pretty awful! I’m about to take a 600 mile road trip that we do a few times a year and this will definitely mean an...

Wow - I have got you all beat at 255 on a P3D-! At this point, I’m hoping to loose a few more percent so I can get a new battery

Well, I hope this is not the case for you guys but my battery started degrading rapidly after 20,000 miles. Prior to that my degradation was only 3-4% and then within a span of a few months and 4000 miles I am looking at >10%. Hopefully it levels off here... Although it has dropped another 1...

Wow, I think I’m the worst off here. Looking at 10% battery degradation after 24,000 miles. P3D- with areo wheels. Charge every night at home to 80% usually. 250 @ 90% 279 @ 100% I’m thinking about contacting Tesla but I expect to get the standard “degradation is normal” response.

MCU1 is different than AP1. We have an AP 2 car with MCU1

HW3 computers ARE being rolled out. I have an MCU 1 car. It still gets software updates all the time despite being years old. No other car can hope for that. Not sure what that has to do with FSD?

You got to drive a kick ass car for years and the opportunity to completely revolutionize it WITHOUT PURCHASING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. Are we seriously so spoiled that we have forgotten that legacy automakers offer absolutely no upgrade paths for their vehicles?? That every model year brings...

You’re absolutely right. I just wanted to test it a bit over the weekend. I’m shutting it all down tonight :)

No, I disconnected the main breaker so there is no way for power to flow back into the meter. I have been running all day, 12 hours now, like this and the app treats it like a grid outage. It would probably be illegal to do this while hooked up to the grid before the interconnection is...

They installed everything at the same time. I am waiting for the utility to come out and install the new smart meter and approve the interconnection. The city/county inspections are already completed.

I actually went ahead and did this. I made sure the batteries were on, then disconnected the grid and finally powered up the inverter. Been running great all day!

My utility is taking forever to approve my interconnection application and I am dying to test out my system (solar+pw). Is there any problem with disconnecting from the grid (turn off main breaker on meter) and powering up the system? I don’t see why there would be but perhaps my exuberance is...

I don't think I ever really posted a final update as I didn't want any posts to get back to those involved - this has been over a year now. Yes - the car had more issues. I started to get good at fixing it though, lol. I figured out that if I disconnected and reconnected the 12V battery I...

Neither. I wouldn't really call this an error on Tesla's part, they adjusted pricing based on demand. I don't believe they owed anyone anything but I think it was certainly the right business move to offer the refund. This happens all the time in the dealership model. Prices can change...
