Thanks all. I appreciate your experiences & suggestions. Have submitted a design change request and will follow-up with a call. Hoping this can work out!

Thanks sunwarriers & Ampster for the replies! (and great usernames btw). Our city has a city-owned utility that usually delays and grandfathers rather generously, so I'm less concerned about the NEM timing. My main questions are: Has anyone successfully had Tesla re-design to increase the...

Hi all, After signing up 6+ weeks ago and requesting the 8.5kW panels with 2PW, the initial design just came through with 4.25kW of panels. I've had several local quotes (at 1.5-2x the price) including one very detailed w/eng plans supporting up to 7kW, and they missed one obvious place to...

In Cali, we often have cool mornings with hot afternoons into the evening. For my early morning drives, it is often around 60 degrees out. This is warm enough for me, but with the "AC" temp set to 68-70 from the day before, the heater kicks in making it uncomfortable and wasting energy. So I...

This is getting worse and is extremely annoying. Tried resetting both the entertainment only (two button press), and full reset (two buttons and brake pedal while parked). Neither helped. I estimate the around 1 in 4 songs hangs/skips after the first 10-30 seconds. This happens regardless of...

Feature doesn't work for me, and afaict never has. Drove just a couple hours ago. Went to get in car and the interior temp is 133 degrees! Great feature idea, if only Tesla would make it consistently work :(

Has anyone else noticed new system sizing and pricing on solar panels? The system size is now 8.5 kW, and used to be ~8.16 kW. The price is also up to $20,400 when it used to be around $18k. Lastly, the first powerwall is now $10,500 and the second is only $6,500. I'm particularly interested in...

You quickly learn to recognize areas where the lane keeping and TACC do well, and where they don't. Agree with others that for long drives, it's overall more relaxing / I arrive less tired than without. However, if the drive involves anything other than mostly straight & standard highways with...

Spot-on SMAIset! We're in California and the expense + waste + physical-layout & extra boxes required are a major turn-off. I've waffled back and forth for months wanting to place an order for 8kw + 3PW, as we really want full house backup (200amp main panel). However the thought of 3PW +...

Hi Smmmurf, Tried to DM but the feature seems broken on iOS safari. I live in SC county and am interested. Could you please DM photos? Also, curious how you felt the ride changed after switching to the 18s. I love the look of the 19s, but ride quality and NVH is important as well. Thanks!

Agreed! I wish there were an option to only kick in at more extreme temps, i.e. to prevent damage. In coastal CA we rarely have days above the mid 80s, and I really don’t want an efficiency / electricity usage hit to keep the car at 105 all day. Maybe an option to start at higher temperatures...

FYI. Had low vampire drain until 2018.28.5. I’m now seeing 5 miles lost overnight in cool weather, and more than that if parked outside during the day. At this rate, my vampire loss is nearly half of my energy consumption. Love the car, but not thrilled. Hopefully they will release updates to...

+1 please add me to the list for sunglass holders.

Same here. Approximately an hour after the latest drive/door open event, the car simply will not wake up before the app times out and reports an error. On 28.5 and iOS.

I wonder if something regressed with 2018.2x.x. Until a few days ago, I had 100 percent easy success with phone as key (iphone 6s). In the past few days since updating, have had my first entry fail, two auth to start/drive fails, and am seeing a delay between entry and being able to...
