    Advice needed for Tesla Rooftop Solar - TIA!

    What massive JERKS for screwing up solar with the NEM 3.0. That said, I have 3 Powerwalls and would be getting fewer panels so I shouldn't be sending any power back to the grid.. this still apply here?

    Advice needed for Tesla Rooftop Solar - TIA!

    I'm in the Los Angeles area on Southern California Edison and have a question about getting Tesla Solar and whether it's worth it. We currently have 3 Tesla Powerwalls (which were free referral prizes) but NO solar. We use them to store cheap off-peak power (we are on time of use TOU-D-PRIME...

    Tesla App shows cameras need upgrade on vehicle that has MCU2 and new cameras for FSD Beta?

    Had the same issue. Cameras replaced on AP 2.0 car in July. App said car is ineligible and then got the email that the cameras are ready. Took car to service and they replaced just ONE camera. The ineligible warning went away and immediately got FSD Beta. Now have to wait for 99% calibration to...

    Supercharger - Santa Monica, CA (LIVE 18 Feb 2022, 62 V3 stalls)

    Lots of progress here. See photos. 36 more stations with solar canopy. My question is: what’s this smaller building in the back? Bathrooms? Something else??

    Supercharger - Santa Monica, CA (LIVE 18 Feb 2022, 62 V3 stalls)

    First, @Chuq thank you but more than one person’s lobbying effort :) and regarding that meeting, 8 hours and 15 minutes. They didn’t overtly mention this project but did grandfather in the projects already approved... before saying the want to rezone the entire city for low income housing!!

    Supercharger - Santa Monica, CA (LIVE 18 Feb 2022, 62 V3 stalls)

    GOOD NEWS!!! I have been lobbying the city council very aggressively but politely, focusing on the facts. You heard it here first: council just told me they'll be grandfathering this project next week and reversing their rejection - project to be formally approved next week...

    Teslarati wrote about it as well: Tesla's 62 stall Santa Monica V3 Supercharger hits speed bump, LA housing crisis takes priority I know the Councilmembers here -- they've gone full socialist/commie, even the ones recently elected claiming they're pro business.

    Time running out for Model X 2017 *massive* business-use tax deduction

    Can’t deduct against W2 income. Only against income for the particular business to thick it’s designated. And has to be your own business on schedule C or LLC or S Corp. Be careful. Know the rules. Ask here but also ask accountant. I have a phenomenal and cheap guy in CA state if anyone needs a...

    WebEx conference call

    Anyone try Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings via the browser on MCU2? Debating whether to upgrade to MCU2 for this. Also wondering if zoom video would continue while in drive. Would be a game changer for me!

    Tesla Referral Program

    Yeah, this. The argument that you had to work to earn referrals therefore it's untaxable doesn't work -- because you get paid for work and you pay tax on that work. Now if you gave test drives in your Tesla to prospective referral customers and documented the miles you spent on those referral...

    Tesla Referral Program

    They’re all in their Accountants’ offices panicking that they owe federal and state tax on the value of the car they just “won”. If you’re high income in California, that could be well over 50% of the retail value of the car.
