Standard. Still no shuttering since repairs.

The shuddering has completely stopped for me, at least for now. It has only been a few days so we'll see.

I've had the shuddering problem for over a year and finally reported it (2020 MX w/ 22' tires). It only shuddered upon accelerated and was an annoyance but since the closest service center is an hour away I was putting it off. Recently, I had several other issues going on at once, including a...

When I originally made the service appointment in the app it automated a quick appointment for service at my house. Once a human read it is changed to a service center 36 miles away, which is fine. Service appointment in 1 week on 11/17 and I'll update with how it went and if issue resolved...

I've got a 2020 MX LR w/ 22" wheels that has developed a case of the shudders on acceleration. I was going to post on here about it and found this long thread going so I see it's not unique to me. And we are not talking fast acceleration, just moderate to pull into traffic. Time to make a...

Thanks for taking the time with the great suggestions and photos. Very helpful!

This is the first time working with a GC on a new construction custom home. I like my GC, but I've also learned the closer you can stay to the contract without change orders, the better. Fortunately, even though this is the first home I'm building, I was able to spot a lot of the ridiculous...

As I mentioned in another thread, I am building a new home which, right now, is about framed out and the trusses should be going up soon. However, I have pulled the plug on the solar roof because I am just not comfortable with the uncertainties and poor communication from Tesla (and lack of...

Just to add to my post above another thing I may do is just tell my GC to stick to the building contract (no solar) and do the budgeted shingle roof without changes. And then, once the house is built and we have a CO and are moved-in, purchase Tesla solar panels + PWs. That way, no risk of...

I am having a similar experience here in the Tampa Bay Area with the same concerns. New construction waterfront home and the framing is almost done. The original quote on the Tesla site was way off, and when they uploaded the official quote it was about 20K higher as you said. I literally...

That’s correct. Due to hurricanes and being in a flood plain you have to build up under current codes. What nearly everyone does building waterfront is wait until getting a CO and then finish out the unused areas off the garage (w/o pulling a permit) realizing that if the big one comes they’d...

Thanks to everyone for such detailed responses, I feel like I got a real education. Very helpful and much appreciated!

Brett - if I can bother you with one more question without acting like you're my consultant. When you say powerwalls won't add any power, I don't understand. I do understand now thanks to your input that there are no off-peak rates, but if powerwalls won't add power, why have them? This is my...

Thanks, I honestly had no idea. I have Duke Energy and just Googled it and you're right on, not offered in this area. More to think about....

Thanks for the comments so far, and I welcome the input on the system itself. When I did the online analysis during the Tesla ordering process they recommended a little over twice the amount of solar. Going by memory I think around 17.5 kwh. I got cheap and scaled it back, which after tax...
