Thanks @EVRider-FL . Unfortunately, because I was unable to shift into park, the option to Power Off under safety was greyed out. I was able to figure this out. The car did not auto shift to PARK with the parking brake engaged. However, when I deselected the parking brake and tried to exit the...

2015 MS 70D with 135k miles The car won't shift into park! I can select Reverse, Neutral or Drive normally. I can engage the parking brake. Even exiting the vehicle does not engage the parking brake. In fact, when I exit the vehicle with the car in a gear other than Park (Neutral with parking...

Another update. Over the past week this problem has not reoccurred. Every day since noting this problem I export no more than about 0.3 kWh to the grid. The days I've noted above remain anomalies with no validated explanation. I called HECO. The person on the phone claimed this was a problem...

Self powered. We are not enrolled in a time of use program. It is always better for us to store energy vice send to the grid. The credit value is much lower than the cost to use, at all times.

Thanks for the replies. Two points I left out. 1. I doubt it. If so, it's a mistake. We do not subscribe to TOU. Our rate plan pays 7c per kwh exported and charges about 40c per kWh imported. Never the less, I changed the sell prices in the app to $0. I also have "self-powered" selected and...

First image shows normal behavior, the PW is full and solar begins exporting to the grid. In this case, that happened around 11am. No issue here. Here you see a summary of what I saw Friday. The batteries were charging slowly, excess was going to the grid. Finally, here's the same day's PW...

Can anyone help me diagnose why I'm occasionally catching energy exported to the grid mid-day even when I have plenty of capacity on my 6 PWs? On Friday my system generated 69.6 kWh and expired 26 kWh. I estimate I lost over 20 kWh that should have gone to the batteries. Energy production was...

I accidentally bought a rear window regulator motor when I needed one for the front window. Anyone know if there's anything that can be swapped between the two so this new motor could be used in the front? I tried resetting the MCU by changing the wheel selection, that didn't appear to have any...

That is bizarre. I'm interested to hear what solves this for you. One idea would be to take the door panel loose for some troubleshooting. What happens to the handle if you disconnect the door panel electrical, i.e. the window switches? What about if you disconnect the electrical control panel...

I removed and tinkered with this regulator for a while. The ferrule was definitely broken. I'm pretty sure the motor is burnt out also. With just the motor connected to the car, the motor and drive spindle spin freely both up and down. When I put the motor on the wire frame regulator and try to...

Did any of you have to replace the window lift motor itself? I put in a new regulator with the old lift motor and I'm still having the same problem.

Has anyone had to replace their window lift motor in their Model S? I bought a window regulator from Napa for around $100. I assumed it came with the motor but I was wrong. I installed the new regulator using the old motor. My window still only raises about an inch and then just stops. It...

I'm told the PW have to be 3ft apart now. If so, I don't think I have enough space to spread them out. My question was really just: can I add additional PW to create a stack myself? Also, curious about the suggestion to mount as high as possible when close to the beach. Is that for flooding?

I have a second Tesla solar install scheduled next week. I recently became dissatisfied with the proposed PW layout. I'm trying to better understand my options to relocated / consolidate equipment or scale back the project. Here are some questions I have right now... Background - Located in...

Hawaii / HECO: Maybe don't rush it... "I've heard someone" get net metering prior to PTO. Was saving tons of cash until they finally approved the system. Our data point: Took us 6-9 months back in 2021. We're upgrading again this summer so I'll update when we receive our next approval. I'm...
