I read somewhere that `energy_sites` is the newer replacement for the `powerwalls` endpoint. But I can’t find confirmation of that.

My Solar roof (installed last January) uses 2 Solivia 5.2 TL inverters and 1 M4-TL-US inverter.

I guess I am not surprised there are a lot of negative reviews. I would only recommend this solution if (a) you _really_ want CarPlay in your Tesla, and (b) you are “tech-forward” and not afraid of a few rough edges. In fact, I’d actually recommend staying away from the WiFi-based CarPlay dongle...

Have you taken a look at the Energy Site APIs? State And Settings I vaguely remember reading somewhere that these are the newer, “replacement” APIs for getting Powerwall info.

Yes, your solar roof should appear in the Tesla APIs. Mine does. And I think _all_ of the Tesla APIs are “work in progress.” Or, more accurately, they are not officially supported by Tesla for anything other than their apps. Any 3rd party use of them would be “at your own risk.” But I have found...

My order (finally) arrived today. I guess I am glad that the (ground!) shipping came faster than estimated. I haven’t used the mattress yet, so I can’t provide any comment other than it appears to be of good quality. However, given the frustration in ordering, communication, and delays, I would...

I got my tracking number today. Can’t say I am impressed. My order won’t even be put in the mail until next Wednesday (10/14) and it is expected to be delivered a week later (on 10/21). I guess I should be glad I am even getting my order, but really? It is weeks late even being fulfilled, and...

I hear you. I think Tesmat’s “customer service” is really poor and George’s past statements have bordered on untruthful. I received an email on 9/23 that included this claim: Your order in particular is scheduled to ship in the first week of October. We plan to have shipped out all backordered...

This isn’t a solution for everyone, but if you really want CarPlay (like I do), you can use this, along with a cheap Android tablet and a car mount to get CarPlay. I’ll try to remember a take a pic of my setup later today if anyone is interested.

I’m unsure if this is new or not, but I wonder if this news will impact the development of new superchargers in the south bay. Steep discounts to install charging stations coming soon to San Jose - San José Spotlight

I suspect everyone will have their own strategy and use-cases. For me, under “normal” conditions, my system is sized large enough that I usually run in self-powered mode with a very low (15%) reserve. (13.5 kW solarroof + 3 PW) However, the extreme heat, followed by the extremely low solar...

The “nuclear apocalypse” weather is really quite something. This is my generation graph from about 30min ago.

Sure, but pretending that previous statements/commitments were not made borders on being untrustworthy and only complicates the already frustrating lack of communication and transparancy. However, since my last post I have finally received an email from George @ Tesmat, so at least some...

Thanks for the update. That’s disappointing, since I definitely recall the website saying that orders would be shipped by early September when I placed my order. But, I didn’t save a screenshot, either.

I placed an order on 8/2 and tried emailing this week with no response. I, too, can understand there might be legitimate reasons for a delay, but silence is worse than being upfront with customers who have already paid.
