    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    Best I can tell, Tesla has abandoned customer service after the installation. I have now waited 3 months for a simple repair and every time I call, the projected wait time is an hour or more. The call-back option does not work either. Love my Tesla cars but solar is a nightmare once they get...

    Sunrun vs Tesla

    I am waiting on Tesla to fix a very minor problem with my system but it is cutting my energy production in half. Tesla says they don't have a crew available to fix it but they have crews out doing new installs. Two people I referred have been installed while I wait for service on my existing...

    Tesla voiding warranties over Hawaii PV Program?

    For what it's worth, Tesla's warranty is worthless anyway. They may or may not get around to fixing any problems you have and they do so with impunity.

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    Solar panels and PW installed last year. In October, 2022, Tesla tech discovered that the junction box on one of our panels is stuck in the "off" position which results in all downstream panels not delivering power so production is cut in half. Repair was scheduled for November 3rd but before...

    Anyone else dislike the new UI?

    Really disappointed that so much commercial clutter (balloons for businesses) show up when I am trying to navigate somewhere. Makes it very difficult to spot where my car is on the map. I have a destination I want to reach, I don’t need the extraneous BS on the screen - that is fine when just...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I too have issues with the replacement MCU, it is slower than the original and some sites won't even load. Tesla says their diagnostics show no problems so they won't do anything. So I am paying for the MCU2 upgrade which I don't feel is right since their "fix" for the bad MCU1 actually made...

    Picking a fight with HOA (CA)

    The operative part of the CA Civil Code is 714(d)(1)(B): (a) Any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any deed, contract, security instrument, or other instrument affecting the transfer or sale of, or any interest in, real property, and any provision of a governing document, as...

    PG&E + EV2-A Rate + Solar + PW and Charging

    Thanks for the clarification everyone. My concern is that this restriction means the PW can be at a low SOC in the morning and if the grid goes down, the backup "feature" of the PW is gone.

    PG&E + EV2-A Rate + Solar + PW and Charging

    I am on PG&E, have the EV2-A rate, have existing 2.5kW solar and am thinking of adding more solar and a powerwall. My idea is to have the PW for backup and for rate shifting but another thread seemed to indicate that if a PG&E customer has solar and a PW, they must charge the PW only from...

    Critical Loads Panel Included in Tesla Quote?

    Looking at installing one PW2 and have existing 2.5kw solar system. Tesla's online quote is lower than a quote from an independent installer. Does the Tesla quote include a critical loads panel or would that come as a change order at additional cost?

    Service Scheduling

    Tesla service through their centralized app is the worst idea on earth. You can't talk to anyone, when you edit your request they don't read it or don't care. Mobile service tech was here working on one car (M3) and could have fixed a simple problem on our MS but since it was not on the work...

    Recommended USB drive for dashcam

    I just started getting the write speed message after the latest software update.

    Info on surrounding traffic

    I agree, the blindspot detection and its display is worthless at this stage. All I get is a faint, grey arc on the left when there is a car coming up from behind and it shows up too late to be of any assistance. Even when it does show, the display is not visible enough to get my attention so I...

    Traffic aware cruise control - initial set speed?

    Could be worse, I recently rented a car in Spain and turned on cruise control - it was actually a speed limiter!

    Model 3 Software Updates

    I just got 36.2 but have not checked it out. I REALLY wish they would put time and temp above the speed but I will see (no pun intended) if this update makes time and temp more visible.
