Yep. That really sucks.

I did not read the fine print, but is it safe to assume as a solar and battery back up owner, that my yearly bill go from about $100 to over $1,000 under this new measure?

I just enrolled. App says "answer may take a week or more". Despite my staunch dislike of PG&E, It makes sense to use energy storage for peak grid load reduction. Hopefully using local energy storage to support grid stability will also give leverage when making future decisions about how...

I don’t know if it can be repared, but I am glad to hear you got 296K out of your DU!

August 2017 S75 currently @42,000mi Below @100% charge: December 23, 2017: 242 miles March 5, 2022: 222miles below @ 90% April 11 2020: 205mi September 19 2020: 203mi February 8th 2021: 200mi March 5, 2022: 200mi Considering I’ve only supercharged a handful of times overall miles seem to be...

Good catch. Just updated my signature to MCU2. Worth every penny! But still don’t have Beta, my safety score is stupid.

Congratulations! It’s quite possible things will go fine. Good luck!

Just for the record, some of us did buy FSD for a total of 5k. See flowchart: https://cleantechnica.com/2019/03/12/autopilot-full-self-driving-prices-rising-on-monday-buy-now-to-beat-the-price-increase/

What glide said. I have about 6000 miles on my 20 inch wheels now and zero issues. I had my car serviced with no issues and had Tesla even align it, which they were Admittedly hesitant, but willing to do. I’m sure there are some service centers that wont align aftermarket wheels, but there are...

Yes. When I installed the bio Defense HEPA filter in my 2017 MS there were no issues removing or installing the panels

I bought a new Highlander on November 12, got plates in the mail three days ago. I’m sure an extra 60-90 days is the standard Tesla handicap.

This information is so interesting and helpful, if anything just to break the old paradigm thinking related to an ice engine. Who would’ve thought that the worst thing you can do for these motors is to leave them dormant for excessive periods of time, And that regular hard acceleration may have...

Good to know, thanks. Fortunately it gets driven almost daily, and currently has 40k miles, so sounds like that will help. I also figure since it’s mechanically built for more torque and kilowatt output That it will never see, would only help with longevity.

Thanks. This is all really helpful to know. I have an August 30 build 2017 model S 75 rear wheel drive with a large motor. One of the first to get the factory uncorked 4.2 seconds zero to 60 time. Even though it’s not performance, I assume this is basically the same large motor as a...

i had powewalls installed on existing solar and plans showed inside garage installation. We wound up moving powerwalls outside. Tesla didn’t revise plans/permit until local fire inspection demanded it. There were lots of bureaucratic issues with install, but San Mateo approving updated permit...
