I think the charge from grid rate depends on the mode. I have 2 PW2. In self-powered, charging from grid is ~3.3 kw total. That turns out around 10% per hour. When storm watch is active, it doubles the rate to ~6.6 kw. In Time Based Control, I have seen it charged at 10 kw (i.e. max for 2 PW).

Here are the numbers of my two 6 years old PW2: nominal_full_pack_energy: 13421, energy_charged: 15183020, energy_discharged: 13327580, nominal_full_pack_energy: 13542, energy_charged: 10655678, energy_discharged: 9379650, The 2nd PW is a few months younger because the original one has to be...

I have my 2 PW2 for more than 5 years. Let them drain to 0% many times during past 5 winters, and charge to 100% many times as well. Note that 0% shown in the Tesla app is not true 0%. I think it is around 5%. As of today, the owner API live_status endpoint reports it still has 26.859 kwh...

It seems that it takes about 1 day before the Charge on Solar option appears on the app. My Model Y already updated to 2023.26.1 back on 7/21. My Powerwall was updated to 23.12.10 last night. Then I updated my Android app to 4.23.2-1815 right after but no Charge on Solar option. Check my app...

Looks like data_request endpoints have been deprecated for at least half a year and they are finally removed. You will need to use vehicle_data endpoint to retrieve all the different vehicle states. See here: https://github.com/timdorr/tesla-api/issues/711#issuecomment-1527498173

You can also find it on Tesla web site. https://www.tesla.com/findus?v=2&bounds=64.52858560965487%2C-44.510743375000004%2C2.238403014800924%2C-154.022462125&zoom=4&filters=party

I also got this error message much more often in the past 3 months, even in very light mist. There is a lot of condensation on the camera housing. Not such condensation on the right camera. Even though the condensation is not on the camera lens, but who knows if there is any water ingress to...

Yes, it is online. I charged it there yesterday. The company painted the parking spots must be new to this. Each supercharger is at the middle of the spot, rather than a bit off to the right side.

I also have a SolarEdge system since 2017 and 28 optimizers. Nothing has failed yet. (also knock on wood). My SolarEdge inverter is the old SE model. I think the higher failure rate is the newer HD model.

My June 2018 Model X is still on its first battery. Most nights it is parked inside with Sentry Mode off and door unlocked.

I am not sure if it is going to be a Tesla Service Center. It keeps referring it as a "dealership". As we know, Tesla has no dealership.

I think starting in 2021.36.5, you can use Tesla API to adjust charge amps. See set_charging_amps in Charging - Tesla JSON API (Unofficial) I have been running my own Powershell script to match my Model 3 charging amps to excess solar without any issue.

I downloaded the latest Andriod app (4.2.3) yesterday and it finally supports editing my utility plan. My peak buy rate is $0.16/kwh, but sell rate is $0.04/kwh for all hours. With this setting, my PW now behaves like the old Balanced mode -- no export during peak unless PW is full.

I also use something similar to this one that I bought from Ace Hardware many years ago (before I have my solar panels). But I use it only to clear the panels on the lower roof (first floor). It is difficult to remove snow on the upper roof. But like @nyprepper said, it is important to keep...

I assume you keep 4.2.3 on your phone for Model 3/Y? Do you think 4.x is better than 3.x for cars? I am still holding on to 3.x for balance mode.
