I also have a grinding noise on my 2016 90D. It is garage kept, low mileage 34K, not driven every day. It happens when the car first starts moving with or without brakes. After a short while it stops. I have wondered if it is brakes, suspension or just tesla arthritis.... Researching to see...

I’m here today 9/13/22 they look ready but when I went to use one they are not powered up. Should be ready soon.

I’m here today 9/12/22 and chargers look ready but when I tried one they are not powered yet. Looks ready so it should be soon

Thank you for this info. I am working on a procedure to set up for any extended grid outage. I am hoping that in the event of an extended grid outage I can preserve enough power in PWs to power inverters when solar is available again (eg, daytime and panels not covered in snow). I can then...

In my case StormWatch seems to keep my PW reserve at 100% (instead of my normal 20%) so PW are not used when grid is on (like at night when PW's power the house) So during a power outage - should I physically turn off PWs at say 20% to preserve power for restart when solar is available? - Is it...

To turn off PW to preserve power for restart when solar is available - Is it best to just use switch on sides of PWs? And then stagger startup load using breakers in my electrical panel?

Pretty sure my PWs are set up to only charge from solar and not Grid so this is not a factor for me.

I don't think so . The only reason would be if your area has lots of StormWatch, warnings that don't impact power. After totally running out I think the benefit would out weigh the risk. Particularly during cold weather when you need heat. Mine is now on all the time.

Thanks , I will find the jump start pw procedure. That would have worked because solar panels were cleared and sun was out. We had the house wired so we have two circuit panels - one that is backed up with PW and the other that is just grid. We can turn off breakers within the PW backed panel...

Hi, Sorry for what may be a simple question. What is the best way to manage PW when the grid is out. Specifically when to shut down PW to preserve enough power to start up inverters. I have 3 PW 2s and we had worse case scenario a couple weeks ago and PWs were completely drained and grid was...

Thx. I need to do this next year (Virginia to Seattle) and was hoping someone here had info.

Unfortunately I could not see any map that showed Clarksburg as a supercharger location (I don't know that those parking spaces are anything more than just reserved for low emssion vehicles). It would be great to have one before Hagerstown. I have a sister in Frederick and I live in Richmond...

I got the same thing yesterday

IMO Prior to purchasing my Tesla, my experience purchasing cars was very one sided and centered around used cars. You see I worked for CarMax for over 20 yrs. In that time I saw the used vehicle retail experience revolutionized by a company with a customer centric approach to selling cars...

Wow ... really disappointed to read about your experience particularly the attempt to remove substance from paint.. with tshirt... I would give feedback to manager.. you will be getting a survey... use that opportunity to communicate this. I'm interested in the after market LED's - what and...
