I think what @jhn_ posted is your best bet to possibly speed up the repair process with Tesla (perhaps inverter out or could at least eliminate it being inverter or gain some other info about problem from Solaredge)

well said .. I have read of many and count myself as one who had ragrets not getting that extra contemplated pw. ... rarely hear anyone say .. "we just dont need that one extra powerwall why did we get that?"

Great answers here already … I’m only chiming in cause I have 2 pw‘s and considered a 3rd at time of install … I have smaller solar so I cannot exceed the 10kw of my 2 pw’s during outage as you possibly can … BUT if you are even considering and can afford a 3rd get it … I look at that extra...

for another data point to not needing programing .. i purchased a set of 4 sensors in 2019 for my 2019 Model 3 for $120 amazon .. brand was something funky like ITM but had great reviews .. they are $100 now .. car recognized them within 3 min of driving asked if new / as well as any new wheel...

You forgot the grid power …. Zap ! 😉

As above should be able to isolate individual circuits being worked on with ind breakers If really need complete shut down systems vary but for Tesla gateway system shut off solar at inverter / shut off breakers in gateway to solar and batteries / shut off main breaker from utility then CHeCK...

this is spot on ! i have been employed for a very large company last 6 years .. cannot tell you how many times two or more departments have gone to war arguing who is responsible for correcting the most mundane things 🤣

Big picture I don’t think you are in the wrong mindset … you and many others here have already invested in infrastructure to theoretically be off the grid during an outage for a very long time …majority of ppl do not have this ..it Is just the norm on this forum .. you even more so since you...

i dont understand not wanting to "use" the pw either ... its ur money of course so do what you choose .. but mine are going to put work in everyday .. esp during an outage .. thats their time to shine 🙌🏼

i think most adj reserve level .. even seasonally as stated by others

i assumed OP only had fridge and aquarium as main loads .. but ur right for 4 appliances you have that seems reasonable

agree with this .. OP do you know what is causing 800w avg?consumption while you sleep? I also have large aquarium (150g) .. my night consump fluctuates low as 200w to high 600w .. i know a lot of variables but you should be looking at only fridge / aquarium at night all other loads should be...

i suspect the weep hole i found was added later at req of inspector or by someone other than orig electrician .. only because i noticed one of the screws on plate cover of conduit elbow was visibly loose to point I could tigheten a few turns with my thumb nail .. checked all others including...

when i saw that cool red dissconnect button above his/her powerwall 1st thing i thought broomsticks in garage ... they're not just for egress out of the danger zone anymore !

so now you have some of us checking conduit .. this is bottom of run inside garage where it enters inverter on side (shot from bottom of course) .. looks like hole drilled in there 🤓

in that case he may not notice quick outages that the PW is triggered by (not saying pw are consistent or infoulable haha)

short answer is yes .. pw will sometimes take over during what a neighbor w/o pw will see as only a "flicker of lights" .. then powerwall will continue off grid for the requisite 3 -5 min before reconnecting to grid how close is your neighbor tracking? with some type of instruments to log even...

Similar to what @wwhitney mentioned they sell components for garage cooling including powered thermostat controlled fan (mounts in attic above garage) you must add a min amount of intake vents in garage doors or wall … fan vents thru and out attic so cools both .. fan includes fire damper to...

Yes forgot to mention this .. same here ..when garage temp high 90’s / at 100 fans will go silent if pw not charging or significantly discharging

I added the foam panels w/ the aluminum heat barrier “bubble wrap“ under .. this is on 3 car south facing doors w/ windows in top door panels .. it lowered peak temp by about 5 degrees .. but also seem to retain heat in morning by about same anount … so peak lower / avg higher I will be...

I sometimes see this when I 1st go into that section on app ..app will combine some data previous day with today‘s data but moment I move back to yesterday then back to today it corrects … maybe your’s hung up that way longer ?

i‘m sure acoustics make a diff (outdoors vs enclosed) ..to me they sound like …hmm you know sound of laptop suddenly blowing fan full force when you were not even sure it had a fan … just larger scale ? I dunno I suck at this game 🤣 Can def hear them throughout a 3 car garage as a new sound

First time I actually heard fans from my powerwalls (in garage) few weeks ago I was a bit concerned as @h2ofun since my garage can briefly hit 100 F during 110 F days. Then I relaxed and took @jboy210 mindset … doing what they are supposed to be doing … maybe like me others are sensitive about...

on 21.20.2 as well not sure when ... guess they let anyone in now 🤣

push it ! push the button !

agree with getting "right" rep .. my problem was "escalated" / handed off IT multiple times all very polite reps just nothing actually done ...then during one call I got the "right" person fixed issue in about 5 min while I was on phone .. still recall her name Melissa haha

that is unusual at least from what has been posted here .. almost all report website shows awaiting payment for months after cc payment but do not recall any reports of Tesla actively (or automated ) system trying to collect

yes i will 2nd @BrettS was a major influence on my extensive pre-PTO testing .. if I recall correctly also source of great info on whole house surge protection as well

i tried to add just one additional powerwall 4/21 to an existing 2 powerwall system PTO'd 2/21 (all Tesla done) tesla at that time would not add powerwall without adding panels .. tried to get just 4 panels added and 1 powerwall . no go had to do at least "small" panel size ...maybe policy will...

i am overall happy w/ my Tesla experience .. before install experience was mediocre to low .. install itself excellent .. post install service mediocre . would i do it again with Tesla, Yes . but i knew what to expect and kept in mind i was saving tens of thousands (powerwalls / solar) This...

agree as well .. this is Tesla's standard "leave us alone for now" response . it is same excuse they gave me for a less critical issue which I had to continually push them to fix for over a month post PTO

interesting point .. knew statement had to get generated before see the points .. never thought if paying before statement would effect points.. i would think not since cc gets fee from merchant regardless of when you pay the charges ...i know with some of my cc it allows you to pay indidual...

got kids a really slow / ugly / safe 1st car 🤣

🤔 have not noticed any correlation between internet connection and message but i will watch it

First time I saw message thought system was updating something .. and sadly I got a bit excited by that 🤓🤣

recently ... say last month or so i sometimes get this message when i check tesla app .. never have seen it before in the 4 months I have had app .. it will work again if i force close app and reopen .. just curious if others see this on occasion

20.49.0 installed 12/20 PTO 2/21

yea i noticed the high post count as well

did you really ?!?! 🤣

i think they might roll a truck and personally deliver something to you .. i fear it will not be a check 🤣

i think OP was just venting all his/her frustrations with tesla energy .. which is understandable .. but most of what was in orig post has little to nothing to do with issue at hand and just serves to complicate the process of filing a claim edit: yes odd .. we are prob missing some info here...

Tesla's response time / many aspects customer service is horrible .. but if u used your own referral link or someone else's I think you will likely get referral money .. they seem to do checks in batches .. in what way exactly i have no idea

to OP .. florida and much of the south is very prone to lightening strikes .. i do not believe burden of proof is on you to prove an act of nature for your home owners or other insurance .. your responsibility is to tell them what happened to best of your knowledge .. that is not any type of...

Funny I just found reward check in my mail box today as well .. came on here to post ...so another data point ... install complete dec ‘20 / PTO feb ‘21 / email from Tesla 5/5/21 to confirm address ..referral check dated 5/20/21 received today used self referral link $400 check ...never asked...

clearly sce has screwed up .. very annoying .. curious so do your sce bills even show you on nem plan at all ? or they have you on a plan but not giving you any credit for what you export to grid? I am on sce tou 4-9 and nem 2.0 (i believe, PTO Feb 21') i can post one of my monthly bills if that...

i would be able to do same / run pw's to zero with car see in app energy from pv to fill to 100% ... how close was this method to what api reported for you ? (sorry if i missed that in your posts) would be nice if and when time comes to inquire with tesla to see how close their response is to...

i agree decent rough estimate .. if see trending down can have tesla pull numbers ... would be nice to see actual report without all the api query etc

yea i am so distant from being that computer savy i dont even know proper term .. should have said zero computer background other than end user haha

Is it possible to add a step by step / how to for those (few?) of us on here with zero programming experience ... or should we not even be attempting this ? . when i mean basic i mean i had to google api and when you say curl command ... no idea 😄

ok yea so answer is i am out of the loop . 😄 i heard term keeping it real almost on daily basis growing up .. not the 100%... learn all kinds cool stuff here
