The inverter is on the other side of the house but mounted high enough to not get direct sunlight.

The service panel is on the other side of the house, but direct sunlight. Tesla ran these lines all the way to the garage with the hpwc. They’re separated enough to not interfere with my car door opening.

This is very concerning. I’m in the same boat though it will be much easier to remove my ac from the backup. I’ve asked if they will reimburse me for hiring an electrician to find a solution to keep my ac in the 2pw backup panel rather than sending an electrician to remove my ac out of the...

I’m not savvy enough to figure this stuff out but took a picture of my ac. Will it work on mine? I don’t have much faithful in Tesla at the moment. Thanks in advance for your help!

Care to share a bit more about this? Is this a universal device? How is it different than the sure start Tesla installs? What did it cost to install? I have the same issue and want to have an alternative ready. Although they did misrepresented my install as well I doubt they’ll gift me...

There was no such indication in my case. I’m not happy about it as it happened in the middle of a road trip. Had I known I could be damaging my car I would’ve gone directly to a service center. come to think of it why wouldn’t the car communicate that to me. I was told the thermostat leaked...

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Turned out to be a leaking thermostat. The coolant leaked enough to shut down the ac. SC replaced the part after a day of a loaner. Heard this is not good to drive as the same system cools the battery. Good luck.

Ordered mid June and sent permits on June 25, installed yesterday. Pretty crazy How fast this happened. My city inspector showed up this morning and found a couple of issues. Original plan showed 200 amp main, actually 150? Permit for hpwc was not yet approved, even though they installed it...

At night...

thank you for clarifying. Looks like I’ll be including the hpwc with the backup, but won’t use it during an outage.

apparently I have two logins depending on the device I use. This is chispa I may have misunderstood the solar plus powerwall off grid? If the power goes out at night I realize I can only get power from the powerwall. When I’m producing power via solar will the non powerwall circuits work? If...

I’ve thought about this for a while. In the case of a power outage I’ll be able to charge my cars at a much better rate than 5mph. I’ll have enough solar to fill the power walls and my cars during the day and can last through the night with the reserve should the outage occur at night. Am I...

I’ll ask, but I don’t have a permit. Wasn’t planning on getting one. Crossing fingers.

Just got my install date, 14 July. Pretty surprised how fast everything came together. Now I’ve got to get my installation notes done and try to get my hpwc installed before they come. Want to include it on the backup. not include hot tub include everything else hpwc and ac install notes...

According to the consultant it must have an attic. I didn’t dive much deeper but may decide to go with 4 less panels as the eastern face is less efficient. Wish I had though about this while doing my roof last year I would’ve moved some vents to make more room.
