    Tesla Announces Powerwall 3 "DC Expansion"

    A PW3 and 3 DC expanders will only output 11.5 kW. The DC expanders don't increase the continuous power output, only the stored energy. 2 PW+ and 2 PW2 will output 25.2 kW (on-grid) or 29.2 kW (off-grid) with full sun or 21.6 kW (on-grid) or 24 kW (off-grid) with no sun. PW+ max continuous...

    Tesla Announces Powerwall 3 "DC Expansion"

    Besides the LFP chemistry, why do you think 2 PW+ and 2 PW2 won't meet your needs?

    Delaying/Limiting Powerwall Charging Until Midday Peak Solar Production

    Doesn't ChargeHQ already support this? You can prioritize EV charging over battery charging and set max charging limits. How is the 5kW inverter maximum enforced? The ChargeHQ guys are in Australia and typically very responsive to inquiries.

    New to this, Tesla energy app a little confusing, need help on MY HOME screen.

    CT = current transformer. They're how the Gateway knows where the power is flowing. If they're in the wrong spot or misconfigured you'll see weird data in the app. Looks like you're on Self-Powered mode so none of the price settings will matter at the moment. They're only used in Time-Based Control.

    New to this, Tesla energy app a little confusing, need help on MY HOME screen.

    Yellow is solar energy, green is battery energy, white is grid energy. Hard to say if your system is operating properly given the limited information and pre-PTO. Usually helps to verify the grid import/export versus the actual meter to ensure they match. Tesla often has issues on new installs...

    Delaying/Limiting Powerwall Charging Until Midday Peak Solar Production

    Why can't ChargeHQ do what you need? Set EV as priority over battery and it will charge first.

    Is charge on solar logic flawed?

    Are you sure the numbers in the app are accurate? It seems suspicious that solar/powerwall/grid are all exactly the same. Is your system fairly new? We see a lot of misconfigured systems with CTs in the wrong spots with new installs.

    Tesla App Waking up Car When Opened Directly to Tesla Energy Screen

    Reboot app and the car? I've seen the car get stuck sometimes and refuse to sleep. The car will also stay awake if your 12V is dying so that it doesn't brick itself.

    2024.2 preview

    Just going to further confuse people since the paired stalls aren't necessarily next to each other. I'm amazed after having a Tesla for six years that people still don't understand how the V2 (and V3) Superchargers work. I'll be so happy when the V2 ones go away completely and we no longer have...

    One string stops working, support says everything works fine

    Not sure that tells us anything else. They're going to have to come look at String D. It's either disconnected, there's an MCI issue, or there's an issue with that MPPT connection at the inverter.

    One string stops working, support says everything works fine

    Check the alerts for String D. You could have an open MCI.

    FSD Beta 12.3 GA

    Really need the ability to set the lane position. Being centered in the lane feels way too close to other vehicles. It'll move over slightly for semis, but I often see people hugging the left edge of their lane and it feels way too close. When driving manually I'll move over to the left edge of...

    Does anyone actually have FSD v12 yet?

    v12.3 FSD first impressions Was able to drive almost the whole way to work (about 25 miles) without disengaging. Barely got into the left turn lane leaving my street. Car was almost sticking out into the through lane. Moved into the double turn lane to enter the freeway without using a...

    Netzero App

    A bunch of us use the Powerwall Dashboard so we were also missing the string data and the alerts.

    Netzero App

    Turns out you can see at least one Powerwall after the 23.44.0 firmware upgrade. /api/solar_powerwall has the information for one unit. We're still looking for additional units hiding in the API.
