    How to tell if my Tesla Energy solar system isn’t producing up to spec?

    What communication avenues did you use to reach out to Tesla Energy to ultimately have them look at your problem? I'm having a similar issue. I have a 16kw array, and under optimal conditions (high noon, no clouds in June), I'm getting max 9kw output. There was a CT issue in the beginning...

    Delta M-4, String drops out to zero for 2 hrs ? [delta inverter issues]

    I just had a 16 kilowatt system commissioned with two Delta solivia 7.6 inverters. They frequently go into night mode during the day, I believe whenever a small cloud or any kind of minor shade passes by the panels. I should be getting over 60 KW hours per day but I'm only getting around 20...

    PowerWall not charging

    Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having a similar issue. Solar is dumping all power back to grid. Powerwalls a 0%, and set to Backup mode. Tried resetting the Gateway using the button through the hole, and also tried shutting down all power (including Power walls, MAIN power, etc) for 10 mins...

    A Public Letter to Mr. Musk and Tesla For The Sake Of All Tesla Driver's Safety

    Possibly what happened here was that after the car struck the first post, the driver reacted by reflex to twist the steering wheel slightly thereby putting the car off of autopilot and into TACC mode. The posts may have been too thin to be detected by the TACC sensor so the car continued forward...

    Anyone received their refreshed Model S?

    There is a Bjorn video on YouTube measuring face-lift model efficiency and anecdotally he said it's more efficient than his older Model S though that might have been a rear wheel drive model so not sure if it's a fair comparison. On my facelift 90D I sometimes can get close to the IDEAL range...

    Wh/mi while drafting?

    I also had a concern about rocks, which is why I tried to stay at least 4 car lengths behind. I was pleasantly surprised at the result, as I also thought you needed to be much closer! I'll try it at 5 or 6 next time and see what impact that has. Man I love this car!

    Wh/mi while drafting?

    Week 2 w/ the new 90D. This weekend driving back from Maine to Boston, I decided to try drafting behind a semi on AP, with distance set to 4 on the highway going ~65 mph. Was able to hit 221 Wh/mi averaged over 30 miles. Then the semi turned off an exit, and I monitored Wh/h, trying to maintain...

    Refresh Model S, Supercharging 420mi/hr?!

    Well, depending on how I drive I find that I can sometimes get pretty close to ideal miles by driving it like my old Prius haha. Sometimes it's just a challenge to see if I can do it :) For my actual rated miles, I just keep an eye on the trip meter to show estimated rated miles based on last 30...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Thanks! I think opticoat at a minimum is a good investment. A beautiful car like this you would at least get it waxed periodically to keep it looking new and the opticoat is essentially a permanent 7 year wax. Before I did it I read dozens of articles on this forum about this topic, there's...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Thanks! It was the XPEL film that took the longest. The opticoat application should only take a couple of days at most.

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Hey guys! Took delivery on 6/25 (White 90D) and immediately took her in for full XPEL Wrap + Opticoat. Here is my original post on the delivery experience: Model S Delivery Update As if the 2 month wait wasn't painful enough, it was even more painful handing her over to the detailer and...

    Refresh Model S, Supercharging 420mi/hr?!

    oh yeah, good call guys. 310 ideal = ~265 rated for me at 90% SOC, so 420 -> ~360mi/hr. That sounds more like it. thanks!

    Refresh Model S, Supercharging 420mi/hr?!

    Hey guys, I remember reading a thread on this forum regarding supercharging speeds, and most were reporting between 250 - 350 mi /hr (Beware: Supercharger speeds vary greatly | Tesla Motors). To my surprise, this weekend at the Greenwich Supercharge in RI, I was the only Tesla there and saw...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Just took delivery today... holy cow... On the drive in, the GPS said ETA 5 mins to the Tesla service center, and I started to feel so nervous -- because a year of planning, working my ass off, saving, obsessing, checking this forum 20 times a day -- it all led up to this moment. And for a...
