Maybe he will claim this was due to a mechanical issue - a loose nut behind the wheel. :)

Tesla Y recovered from Salt Marsh in California. Halloween stupidity or secret project? https://www.independent.com/2022/10/31/tesla-driver-gets-stuck-in-carpinteria-salt-marsh/

Is anyone using VPP with SCE and Central Coast Community Energy (3CE)? I just applied, and had to get the meter number off of the actual meter instead of the electric bill per Tesla instructions. (The meter number is not included on my SCE/3CE bill.)

Thank you! Very helpful to know these options.

Has someone purchased EAP and seen the price for FSD change to $6K? Is that documented somewhere?

I just received a Starlink installation kit. My plan is to set this up as a backup for my current 100/20 Mbs cable connection (static IP business plan). Cell coverage not available in this location. I am planning on mounting it on top of a chimney as that would give me the greatest view of the...

Living in Santa Barbara, and the "end of the line" for the SCE distribution network (lots of power outages), one of the better investments has been a solar PV/Powerwall configuration. A major advantage of multiple powerwalls is the ability to handle the increased current (surge) common to...

Thank you for the Charge HQ app suggestion! I signed up for the beta version and will post my experience here once I get started.

Just saw this thread. I have enphase micro-inverters on the PV panels and Tesla Gateway and Powerwalls. When the grid power is out, the panels will charge both the Powerwalls and a Model Y. Power was off for equipment replacement for over 11 hours and worked perfectly.

Mine has been doing the same thing, and it changes back again. I have no idea what or why.

How do I determine which type of battery is installed?

This looks great! How has it held up since installation? Anything you would do differently? Thanks!

Santa Barbara south county net metering customers joined 3CE effective January 2022. The delivery charge ranges between $0.16 and $0.22 per kWh (can be a credit if a net producer that month). Non bypasable charges total ~ $0.06 per kWh. SCE paid excess production $0.036 per kWh at true up in...

Thank you for your reply. I will look at this.

The only way I can do this is a combination of limiting the rate of charge to 7.5 kW and starting charging at 10:30 am. Based on the other information on this thread, it looks like Tesla would have to provide this option if enough people request it. PS - The system size was based on an...
