We have stopped here a total of four times since it opened, most recently this past weekend. I have roadtripped up to Vancouver, B.C., throughout the Sierras, and down to SoCal a dozen times, and this SC is in my top 3 of favorite spots to charge. The people running the olive mill are outgoing...

Thanks for the help in finding the tariff, which I did manage to find earlier on my own through some more sleuthing and was able to manually program my Powerwalls with the settings. Since I've now been migrated to NEM 2.0 from 1.0, I know we'll be earning a few cents less on our exports. But...

I am indeed on NEM-PS billing. I just checked the black and white bill and it says "EVA/NEMPS" which is consistent with the description of my rate plan when I compare rates to other plans on the PG&E website. We'll see how long my luck lasts, although in searching around TMC I stumbled across a...

I also am still on EV-A after having installed two Powerwalls in early 2022. I was just about to re-program my Powerwalls thinking I was on EV2A but fortunately I didn't screw that up and I kept the same TOU periods that I manually programmed in for EV-A. I've been searching for the rate...

Quick update/edit: I checked my account info on PG&E's website which says I'm still on the EV-A plan with its TOU periods, which are quite a bit different than EV2A. AFAIK the Tesla Powerwalls don't have a pre-programmed setting for the EV-A rate, so I manually programmed my two PWs for these...

I'm on SVCE. I previously was on EV-A for years and then added a couple of PowerWalls last year and now have paired storage. My monthly PG&E bill says my rate plan is "NEM E-EV". This may be a dumb question, but do the TOU windows for the EV2 schedule apply to "NEM E-EV"? My monthly bill...

Oh, ok, thanks for the explanation, I'll try again tomorrow assuming we have another event then. Maybe it's just me but the messaging on the Tesla app was not super clear, at least when my PWs started reporting again this afternoon, as I read it to mean that discharging would start at 4 p.m...

I'm with SVP/PG&E and just signed up for the VPP option yesterday. I apparently was approved as I received a push notification this morning for the event today. All this morning my app was showing my home's kW # as well as fleet home numbers, both of which were being updated continuously...

Crossing my fingers. I echo the thoughts of the posters who noted the congestion at Atascadero and SLO and hope a new Supercharger in King City would be a most welcome addition.

I am grandfathered in on EV-A until July 2021 but am still considering whether it might be worth investing in a Powerwall or two now while there are still federal tax credits for it available just as a future hedge against rate changes like this. Out of curiosity, I did a rate comparison...

I recently used Arseen body shop in San Jose to replace my Model S liftgate and would highly recommend them. I had never heard of them before but a friend told me she had been in the shop just a couple weeks ago and had seen a large number of Teslas being worked on. Before going to Arseen, I...

We visited this SC last Friday (5/18) and Sunday (5/20) on a roadtrip to Fort Bragg, and in theory there should be 8 operational stalls. On Friday, there were 7 operational stalls (of the 8 that are currently in service), with the one inoperative in the middle of the pack (might have been 2B)...

I haven't read through all of the posts to this thread so apologies if this was covered before. When I visited this site earlier this week on a road trip, I spoke with a Tesla employee who was working on site (he was in a company MS and taking some data outside, not exactly sure what). I asked...

Yep, looks like my memory was spot on (for a change). These rate increases are much greater than the rate of inflation, and with PGE facing enormous potential exposure from the wildfires in the Fall, they aren't likely to stabilize any time soon.
