Those that have the covers on....any tips for removing them? I wanted to pop them off before going to the local America's Tire to get my tires rotated (b/c i don't trust they would pop them off carefully), but the center section wouldn't release. The outer clips all released fine but when trying...

got mine from here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5BB4ZRF

Received my covers from "TSL Model3 Y Store" on Aliexpress (ordered 8/11, received in hand 9/14). They came with blank center cap inserts so I ordered these logo center caps from amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5BB4ZRF . If you can find a seller that provides the actual T center caps you can...

those that have received theirs: curious how long did your shipment take to clear customs? My order has been in "Item is awaiting customs clearance." since Aug 30 so this is the 6th business day (discounting Labor Day) for me. This is my first time in a while ordering from Aliexpress so curious...

Our system (solar roof) was oversized based on our existing usage, but we did note that we would likely add a hot tub + another EV at some point. Also didn't mention that we'd probably go heat pump and hybrid elec water heater as well. no problems getting the PTO from PG&E in early 2021 edit...

These unfortunately charge too fast if you're going on an actual target run :).

I have my 2 delta inverters (M8 and M4) mounted on a south facing wall of our house (where the main panel is) and have been thinking about trying to reduce the amount of sun that beats down on them especially during the summer months. I searched but didn't find any discussions about makeshift...

we're (voluntarily) enrolled in the SmartAC program many years back and have one of those devices mounted on the A/C condenser. And yeah there is a tamper evident seal like they have on the power meters. Just noticed they have an IFTTT applet to push out notifications when a SmartAC event is...

i have a stand off that is like the Louisville stabilizer @charlesj posted, but the Werner version WERNER Quick-Click Ladder Stabilizer-AC78 - The Home Depot Another option is the Levelok stabilizers (the tesla installers that installed our solar roof used these) Ladder Stabilizer Standoff...

There was a thread on this today in the FB Tesla Energy group. It sounded like they are moving to use these new metal tiles in lieu of the non-active glass tiles they used to use. Supposedly part of the reason for these new tiles is that the metal can be formed to complex angles (where the glass...

The subs that Tesla used to install our roof's decking, flashing, and underlayment is now a certified Solar Roof installer (Tesla Solar Roof - Clean Roofing); probably one of the first certified installers in the Bay Area. Given how hard it is to reach Tesla project advisors in the early stages...

ditto what @trautmane2 said...the crew cut the ridge vent pretty much as one of the last steps. I didn't have ridge vents previously but they left underlayment on the ridge up until they cut the ridge open. I have active tiles on the south and east sides of our uninsulated garage and can see...

PG&E didn't come out at all -- it was just e-signing a doc, i think tesla submits an accompanying doc, and then they review. I have 2 Delta M inverters. I don't have a powerblaster (and no PWs) so I won't be able to see consumption in the app until I decide to get PWs installed at some point...

Got the PTO confirmation from PG&E yesterday afternoon, sun was already down by the time I saw the email, but I ran outside to turn on the inverters anyway! Roof install was completed around January 8. Was a long 2 months waiting for PTO. People had mentioned that PG&E would take a while to...

here it is with black gutters
