Babaron, how did you contact Tesla for your Sarasota install? I'm asking because I'm building down in Charlotte County and looking at solar panels with a Powerwall 2 installation. There's a vendor in Sarasota claiming to be an official Powerwall installer. Tesla Powerwall Home Battery |...

How does the split contract effect using the federal ITC? I was under the impression that the powerwalk had to be part of the whole package for those costs to qualify.

The problem is that you'll have to install the conduit and wiring for solar/pw that you (and me...) may not ever use.

I'm planning to build in FL in 2019. So we'll see if they're ready to go when its time to put a roof on the house. Unfortunately you need a roof early in a SWFL HVHZ.

They've been accepting deposits for smooth and textured for some time in the US. However sometime in the last 24 hours (I think) Tesla started accepting deposits for Tuscan and Slate as well. You can now place a reservation, which I now have done since the plan is to build a house in late...

Is there a search function, to spare members from my repetitive questions. If there is, I cannot find it. thank you

After reading this, I went to the Solar City website (wasn't aware that it was still up, had been going to Tesla Energy) and tried to join the waiting list there for the Tesla Solar Roof. When I put in the zip code, it said that "Solar City was not yet in your area". Is the plan that Solar...

I don't think the dealer issue has been one in the past in MD. Also the state legislature passed a bill permitting Tesla to direct sell in MD from four locations. I think right now we have only one gallery in Montgomery Mall in Bethesda just outside of DC. I haven't heard yet where the...

I'm looking at retirement in the near future and moving at the same time. MD has a $3000 credit, FL does not. So should I time the delivery of my new Tesla to come to me in MD or have it delivered at our new residence in FL (Charlotte Co.). Any thoughts or considerations I should take into...

Catherine Rampell: Tesla runs into trouble, again - The Washington Post interesting column.

Model S on FX's The Strain A red Model S was on Sunday 9/28 show The Strain. But they added engine noise of the car staring and then shutting down. WTF?

We're looking at a post retirement relocation to Charlotte County. I went online to see if the utility had any special EV rates but couldn't find any. BGE (I'm in Maryland) currently has a Schedule EV, where the rate .05556 $/kWh, during offpeak charging (on peak is .15656 $/kWh). This rate...
