@GeekLad Will your app work on an iPhone so it can be used in a Model 3?

The Teslawaze website at Tesla Traffic Incidents and Information is announcing that due to increased Google Maps charges, they will no longer be able to continue running the website starting in June. I found it to be a very useful site to run in the built-in browser in my Model S or on my...

Sort of...

Benjamin, you were absolutely correct. I closed VT and in the last 24 hours my Model 3 only lost about 3 miles, which is comparable to what my P85D lost. Thank you for the great tip. I wonder what is different about the Model S that allowed VT to be polling continuously without losing much...

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering if leaving Visible Tesla up all the time was the culprit. After it charges tonight, I'll shut down VT and see if that is the reason. I had it on all the time with my P85D and only saw a loss of about 2-3 miles in 24 hours, so expected the Model 3 to behave...

Yes! It does work with the Model 3 but not all of the functions work. It doesn't pick up the configuration from the vehicle, but you can go into the Preference Overrides and select your color, wheels, roof and units. The car will show as an S 60 but at least the color, wheels and roof will be...

My P85D was named Sparky. His pal, a Chevy Spark EV, was named Sparky Jr. So, naturally, my Model 3 is named Sparky III.

@doubleohwhat Thanks again for the info and the link. It looks like that could be a way better and easier solution for me, as I'm primarily looking for backup capability. I'm already on full Net Metering and TOU with SCE so there's really not much more to gain there. The LG battery is...

@doubleohwhat I went with the SolarEdge SE7600 inverter that was specified by Tesla for the Powerwall 1 (which I tried in vein to obtain). Solar City told me that the Powerwall 2 could not be connected to that inverter and that I had to use the internal inverter built into the Powerwall 2...

Since I already had a 200A main panel, they said it needed an upgrade because the meter needs to be separate from the breaker part of the panel. Even though my meter appears to be in its own enclosure and the breakers are in a separate panel next to the meter panel, they said that wasn't good...

After requesting information on the Powerwall 1 and never hearing anything further, I ordered a Powerwall 2 as soon as it was possible and paid my deposit. After a very long wait, I was finally contacted by Solar City and arranged for a site survey. The guy who came out to do the survey knew...

Thanks to those who responded to my long saga with Solar City, but not being able to ask a question of someone who actually knows the answers and having to go through an intermediary who knows nothing that can have an answer for you within about six days is really unacceptable, so I've canceled...

Frustrated with Solar City When Powerwall 1 was first announced, I signed up to be on the waiting list and never heard another word. In the interim, I had a solar system installed by a local company and paid extra to get the SolarEdge 7600AUS that was specified as the only inverter that would...

They run it directly to the fuse box or the mic connector depending on the Tesla model. They do not use the 12 v dc jack.
