    I'm Pre-PTO, in self-consumption mode, but utility meter shows that I'm consuming and exporting significant energy

    Coming back to edit this 8 days later with an update in case someone stumbles onto this post. The installer came out and found that one of the grid supply CTs was set to 'none' instead of site. Once it was set to site, everything is functioning normally.

    I'm Pre-PTO, in self-consumption mode, but utility meter shows that I'm consuming and exporting significant energy

    First of all, I wanted to thank everyone helping out here - it's an interesting problem. Maybe it's just a flipped CT, the Tesla app definitely is not showing the same thing that the utility meter is showing. Here are some relevant screen shots. First - here is June 10 (a very overcast day)...

    I'm Pre-PTO, in self-consumption mode, but utility meter shows that I'm consuming and exporting significant energy

    I don’t see how monitoring CTs has anything to do with my situation. This is the Southern California Edison utility meter that I’m looking at - showing current flowing in and out. The utility meter doesn’t care about CTs. It is its own current measuring device. And keep in mind I’m pre-PTO...

    I'm Pre-PTO, in self-consumption mode, but utility meter shows that I'm consuming and exporting significant energy

    No - I meant what I said. The utility meter (not to be confused with what the app shows, which is almost always 0 grid usage) is showing positive (consumption) or negative (export) wattage depending on which leg has the most load. From what I can tell, the number that displays is the net...

    I'm Pre-PTO, in self-consumption mode, but utility meter shows that I'm consuming and exporting significant energy

    That's what I'm thinking. I don't see how a flipped CT affects what I'm reading on my utility meter. Utility meters don't measure what is on a CT. The utility meter IS the CT, in a manner of speaking.

    I'm Pre-PTO, in self-consumption mode, but utility meter shows that I'm consuming and exporting significant energy

    Yes, I have my whole home backed up. Separate panel with all the circuits behind the gateway. I am able to "Go Off-Grid" successfully. When I do, the utility meter goes to zero - showing no consumption and no export.

    I'm Pre-PTO, in self-consumption mode, but utility meter shows that I'm consuming and exporting significant energy

    I'm in So Cal, on SCE, residential single-phase utility power, pre-PTO since May 5 with 11.2 kW of solar, a Powerwall+ with the 7.6 kW Tesla Inverter, Powerwall 2, and Gateway Backup 2. The app powerwall settings show Self-Powered and 'No" for Permission to Export. Backup reserve is set at 20%...

    Apple music losing login

    Yes, happening to me regularly - every few days. I have apple music family plan through Apple One Premier. I have a model 3 and model Y and am using a Tesla cloud profile between the two cars. I think I'm going to stick with Spotify until they fix this.

    Steering wheel vibration / shudder at 70 mph - not lane departure system

    Hey all - just an update on this. The vibration was due to a defective tire. The tech found foam separating from the inside of the tire, which was causing it to be hopelessly out of balance. They told me that Tesla has special versions of tires made for them, which have foam in them to make them...

    Steering wheel vibration / shudder at 70 mph - not lane departure system

    Hi - On Monday my M3D suddenly started experiencing significant and constant steering wheel vibration starting around 60 MPH and is especially noticeable at 70 MPH. Before Monday - rock solid at any speed. It feels like about 50% of the vibration of the lane departure system. I turned off lane...

    Clunking sound from front drivetrain

    I have the same exact issue - I only notice the sound when I'm going over a bump (like a speed bump) or dip (like a drainage path for water) and especially when turning. Most common scenarios are when I turn into a driveway or turn a corner where there's one of those drainage dips in an...

    AWD delivery thread

    Update #3: Took delivery yesterday, 8/30/18. If someone wants to update the AWD spreadsheet for me, I used the same username that I use here on this forum. The communication and process the past 2 weeks leading up to delivery was awful. The delivery was pretty smooth and the delivery guy was...

    AWD delivery thread

    What was your color / config? I'm supposed to take delivery in Santa Barbara any day now - the IDA wanted to schedule for this past Saturday, but the loan wasn't done and had to delay.
