The only thing that worries me is that it isn't sustainable. I assume JE/Amigo buy up futures to pay the flat buyback rate, but being with TE gives you insight into the wholesale rates and they're usually incredibly low. I'm mentally preparing for JE/Amigo to randomly end or change something...

Gotcha. I wish they offered Free Nights for everything, not just vehicles. For me, I'd pay $15 ($30 soon) a month, plus whatever I have to pay for these cloudy/rainy days where I need to draw from the grid. With JE, I start each morning at 100% PW battery and 80% charge on the model Y and...

I don't see the benefit vs. Free Nights for everything. TE is just saying free nights from 10-6 for vehicles, but you're still going to have to pay to charge your powerwalls if you get consecutive cloudy days. Am I missing something?

That's for VPP, right? Mine said the same back when I was with JE (before trying TE), and never changed.

It's hard to consider TE seriously when there are options for free nights with Amigo or JustEnergy, with a flat rate buy back. Then, when VPP eventually gets approved for PW3s, I just don't see the point of TE for a solar + pw customer. Maybe for non-solar/battery customers it makes sense, though.

Oh, duh! I knew that and completely forgot. Thanks for the correction.

I was in the farthest left lane on a three-lane highway, and on the right shoulder, there was a disabled vehicle. There weren't any vehicles anywhere near me. It was a sunny day, with no clouds and a level stretch of the highway (vs. an overpass). I'll be damned if the autopilot slowed down...

Well, I take that back; Just Energy just sent me a check for my negative balance. The rep told me they do this when the account is closed, but I figured no one gave credits back except Telsa Electric. It's hard for me not to switch back to them now. Decisions. Decisions.

I only have PW3s, no PW2s.

My max capacity will be 216 kWh some day. 👀 https://electrek.co/2024/04/11/tesla-details-powerwall-3-cheaper-stack/

Yup, I'm here all day, every day, with 1 EV charging daily.

I tried JustEnergy back in Feb, and as expected, the bill went negative. They required a $109 deposit but I assume that's because I had my credit frozen. My negative balance could pay for the termination fee, so I switched back to Tesla Electric in March to see how things would go. I was way...

23.49 kW system hit 22.9 kW just now. Not sure if that has to do with my PCS settings getting updated but I'm stoked at how close I'm maxing out.

I, for one, am just excited to finally not get any more du-nuh-nuhs (that's what my wife and I call them) for forward collision warnings. No Tesla, I will not hit the parked car in my neighborhood going 20 just because I'm dodging a trash can on the road, OK?! Seriously, the driving score...

I see. What if we just focus on the excess solar event? Could you create a trigger to fire when solar generation > home usage?
