6.88 solar system; 2 powerwalls My two powerwalls were powered on July 10, 2022 . Since that time my electric utility has not recognized energy coming from the powerwalls to power my home and instead charged me as if the energy was coming from the grid. My smart meter was changed Jan 5, 2023...

I think I may have the answer (not sure though) I emailed Tesla concerning my situation and received the following response: I do not believe net metering goes into effect until your system receives permission to operate. Your application is in the queue to be prepped and submitted, but has not...

Lots of clouds and rain yesterday and today.

For July (since July 12 when the powerwall was powered on) the app shows 33% solar, 19% powerwall, 48% grid. for August(so far) 31% solar, 21% powerwall, 49% grid. We are in monsoon season here in Las Cruces so there are many clouds, preventing us getting the normal amount of solar during the...

I've had a 6.88 kwh solar system since 2013. On this past July 12 my new Tesla powerwall was powered on (this date coincided with the start of the El Paso Electric billing cycle). Upon receiving my first bill with the powerwall in operation I was stunned to find that my smart meter reported that...

I ordered two powerwalls in February 2021; permit was applied for in June 2021. Since then I have been unable to contact cusomer service in order to assess progress (or lack of same). Up until June 2021 I had, on my account web page, the name and extension # of an advisor (who never answered...

Issue resolved. Why? No idea. Perhaps it was the latest update (2020.26.4), perhaps I was doing something wrong initially, perhaps the gods smiled on me.

Thanks for the suggestion JulienW. Tried it; did not work. Scheduled Tesla mobile service for July 22 (unless it is changed by Tesla). In the meantime, I'll keep trying other solutions (short of disconnecting the 12-volt battery).

Last Wednesday I received my HW3 retrofit. After the latest maps were downloaded Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control worked as promised. However, after I received update 2020.24.6.1 the control disables itself (via the icon on the screen) every time I try to use cruise control and/or autopilot...

I've had my Model 3 since August 2018, and from the beginning was able to program Homelink to auto-open and auto-close from 60 feet away. Last week I got my HW3 retrofit and since then have been unable to have Homelink auto-close the garage door (it will auto-open). I've programmed...

Not true; it's back- without me doing anything excepting to leave the car parked for an hour.

Was driving to get a haircut this afternoon when I noticed the TeslaCam icon had the gray X instead of the normal red dot. When I parked I noticed a red icon (circle with an exclamation point in the middle), pressed it, and got the message that my USB stick was writing too slowly to record...

Thank you for the quick response; never thought about elevation (although I should have done so as I am aware that water boils in the high 190s here instead of 212).

at least in my case. I used two separate tire gauges to check my tires after refilling. All four times (reported by the two guageswere either 44 lb or 44.5 (when cold). The monitors report two tires are 41 lb and two at 42. Not a large difference, but something to note.
