PTO issued today, 12/12: Solar Install was on May 10th, 2022

My documents from Tesla were finally uploaded on 11/28. On 12/5 the utility set the project to "on hold" due to incorrect meter number of all things. I then sent Tesla, via text, the meter number and the next day they asked for a photo of my meter. My project is back in status of "final...

Here we are with a status of "Pending Utility removing change review box". It's been this status since 11/9. I asked if they ever "follow up" with the utility to see what's going on and nothing but crickets as a response. At this point, Tesla will just wash their hands and say..."we're...

After the 90 days from Final Payment, I went and did another follow-up with Tesla Support. This time, I went to the support page in my Tesla account and select "schedule phone call". This was Monday 10/17 and I had the call scheduled for Tuesday 10/18. About 30 minutes prior to the call, I...

3 meter setup here in RI. Tesla was paid in full 83 days ago. I gave them another email nudge this morning. I fully expect them to say, we have the 90 days according to contract, which I fully expect them not to meet. It's hard to believe it's first in first out for this PTO process, but...

Correct, the 3 months is on the Tesla side. This is what so many of us are complaining about. For my utility, they approve in a couple of days once they receive the documents from Tesla, but for one reason or another; probably lack of staff working on the PTO side of things. It's a shame...

Correct; the delay is with Tesla. I'm coming up on 60 days. A couple of weeks ago, I sent a message and was given the same old statement. 7-90 days. They submit in the order you were sent to the "interconnect" department. The only thing they could do for me is send my inspection documents...

Maybe it's different based on your region and utility, but I'm allowed to consume but not export until utility approval; or maybe your system is a little bit different than man? I'm glad I can at least use my system and I'm only limited in not exporting to grid, so no "banking of kw credits"...

My system is in Self Consumption mode with the Powerall+. Once the battery is full and the house demand is less than the solar is generating, the panels partially shut down to only produce what the house is consuming. As the load increases, the panels re-activate to meet the load, and charge...

My Powerwalls are usually charged by 12:30 - 14:30, so from about 14:30 onward, I'm losing out on sending out to grid. Typically at night I use 40% of the pw; I have the reserve set to 30%. I set to "off grid" mode so that the house isn't powered by the grid while the pw charges; thus...

I ordered back in November 2020. My house was new build so it took a while for them to review my building plans; plus they kept possibly "forgetting about me?" I received an install date on 12/28/2021 for install of April 4th, 2022. That install date was cancelled because something "changed"...

I set my settings to "go off grid"...this prevents the house using the grid during an "event". I'm new to the program, but don't care for my house being powered by the grid while the sun is up and the powerwall is charging from solar. It can do both during non "events", so why use grid to...

The dash screen is a big difference between an older S and newer. I don't know what year they swapped it out for an HD screen, but I've driven both and the difference is significant. My S is a 2015 85D. As far as Autopilot 1 goes, I use it for about 1.5 hours out of my two hour commute (round...

In re-reading my post, I doubt you will find any Model S for the $30k price point that has Enhanced Auto Pilot, you're most likely looking at AP1 or no autopilot.

Sure you can find a decent Model S for around $30k, but that depends on the model year you are looking for and whether you want AP1, or Enhanced Auto Pilot with hardware 2.5 +. Besides looking at the Tesla used inventory site, direct sellers can be found at this website: Listings | Only Used...
