Just yesterday I was assigned a 2022 VIN for a Model S LR. I asked to be placed on hold and they are giving me just a 7 day hold period. Hopefully that will be long enough to get a 2023 VIN.

Question for the folks who seem to be in the know here: If I am net generator of power at the annual true up period, I only get reimbursed at the wholesale rate correct? So whether I have battery backup or use a lot/little during the peak usage, it won't affect my bill because I am generating...

I am interested. I installed just a single Powerwall about a year ago and now wish I had installed another for whole house backup. Message me as I also can't message you as well.

Yes, 10kW and my normal usage is about 0.7kW. @woferry's post seems to indicate that 5kw while on grid should be normal.

My solar roof generates 10kw peak and I understand that the maximum the Powerwall will be able to receive is 5kw. I ask about the 3.3kw vs the 5kw because some posts have suggested that the Powerwall is optimized for 3.3kw and thus does so under normal on-grid operation. However, it is spec'd...

In reading this thread, should my single Powerwall (which is hooked up to solar) be charging at 3.3kw or 5kw? Currently it is charging from solar at 3.3kw and I plan to do an off grid test to see if it will bump to 5kw when 100% off grid.

If I have a Tesla Powerwall installed by a third party who was not Tesla/Solar City. Does Tesla still service my PowerWall and would they make this frequency change? Is there a phone number I'm supposed to call? There is a Service Request link for Powerwalls on the Tesla website, but I think...

I had this exact same problem. Do you happen to have a USB drive plugged in? If so, try removing it and doing a reset to see if the problem remains. In my case, that solved the issue. And just to validate, I plugged the USB drive back in and it caused the boot loop. I guess some times these...

Thank you everyone. I guess this is a part of the company's push towards profitability.

A friend of mine just took delivery of their Model X. He didn’t get a leather keyfob holder for his key. Is that normal? When I picked up my Model X last year, it was still provided. Perhaps things have changed? Thanks in advance for the info.

I am in a loaner S100D running MCU2, so I am running the new maps version. In my old car, routing a particular destination would always have me hop off the freeway at a particular exit and jump back on the freeway at the next entrance. I’d always ignore the suggestion and stay on the freeway as...

I am currently in a loaner Tesla with MCU2 and running the vector maps. Coming from an MC1 car, I immediately noticed the difference in the Instrument Cluster. However, I also noticed greater detail in the main touch screen if you zoom in enough. I was able to see the layout of parking lots in...

I noticed that my Model X's climate controls seem to be miscalibrated. Specifically, when it's cold outside, let's say 50 degrees F, and I set the climate temperature to 81 degrees F, the air coming out of the vents would be best described as lukewarm. If I increment it one more degree, it...

My commute is all local so I usually test the Auto Pilot on local streets. With this update (in addition to noticing two cars ahead), the car appears to notice the car in front at a greater distance and seems to react more appropriately. I get a smoother driving experience as a result. In...

I had this issue on my X as well. When I took it to the service center, they mentioned that they see this a lot and it comes from some residue on the inside of the door in newly manufactured X's. They take the door apart and wipe off certain parts to remove the residue. Upon initial...
