    Sentry mode not downloading video to usb drive

    Just bought a Samsung 128 gb flash drive and it looks like I don’t need to convert it to fat32 as there is already a option on the screen to format it, unless I still need to? I tested the recording by honking and it doesn’t record. sentry mode does detect motion, but cannot view the clip and...

    Re: Financing. How again do I get 2.49% reduced?

    There was someone on this forum who created a spread sheet with most banks and has the interest rates. Lowest I’ve seen recently was 1.85% and that’s usually with a credit union bank.

    New Tesla owner here and have a newby question... when am I suppose to leave the climate control on when the car is park? Right now I have it off as it is sitting in my garage.

    Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and Tesla

    If you are doing a trade in, that needs to be align with everything else mentioned above. I believe loan application is only good for 30 days, as well as car trade in value.

    Are powerwalls a necessity for SoCal residents?

    Just placed my order for solar panels last night. They gave me a 12 week completion date. Hope everything gets installed and city approval by December! Has 12 weeks been a realistic timeline for everyone else?

    Are powerwalls a necessity for SoCal residents?

    So Quiet Cool takes out all the heat from the rooms and sucks it in to the attic. Is there anything else that will push the hot heat out of the attic?

    First day of my 12.24 kW install!

    do you know how many kWh/day your system generates?

    Are powerwalls a necessity for SoCal residents?

    I came across this chart on the internet and not sure how accurate it is, but Tesla Advisor said the medium size system should give me anywhere from 31-44 kWh, not 20-30 kWh. He said this chart was for a region that had less sun light exposure. Can someone please share if their system is more...

    First day of my 12.24 kW install!

    Yeah initial $100. So took about a month for complete installation?

    Are powerwalls a necessity for SoCal residents?

    Yes that’s what I meant. Thanks for clarifying that. Did you come close to breaking even at the end of the year? Did everyone trust Tesla proposal on solar panels and the set up?

    Are powerwalls a necessity for SoCal residents?

    So I got size for the medium system 8.16 by the Tesla advisor. I sent him my SCE bill and he took the highest usage month which was 29kwh/day. I also told him I will be getting a Tesla very soon and he did some calculations on his end to ensure my system would be sufficient enough to cover the...

    Are powerwalls a necessity for SoCal residents?

    In general, solar panels alone should generate enough energy during the day to supply enough power for the house in the evening right? My goal at the end of each month is to keep my balance close to $0.

    First day of my 12.24 kW install!

    Hey @SoCal Dave, thanks for sharing your journey to solar panels. Been getting a lot of insightful information from you and I’m about to pull the trigger on solar panels and I am with SCE as well. What was your timeline from putting down the deposit to installation?

    Are powerwalls a necessity for SoCal residents?

    I am a SCE customer to be specific and definitely will be investing in solar panels pretty soon. I’m on the fence about getting a powerwall with the solar panels. Where I live (Pasadena), we hardly get blackouts. So I’ve read people who do end up getting powerwalls, can stay off the grid during...

    Are solar panels really worth it?

    Also... my property is a bit complicated. I have a main house and back house. The back house I do rent out to a tenant and it has a separate meter. That house sits on top of my 2 car garage and I will be charging my Tesla in that garage. I am pretty sure that garage is on the back house meter.

    Are solar panels really worth it?

    if I did my conversion right I believe the Free Volt is a 6.00 kw system. The Tesla price does sound very appealing. The Free Volt consultant was trashing Tesla saying the panels are not efficient and out dated. He said panels are made in China and that’s why Tesla is able to sell the panels at...

    Are solar panels really worth it?

    This is what I have so far. $16,400 for 8.16 kw from Tesla website $24k for 20 panels from Free Volt.

    Are solar panels really worth it?

    Great info! Thanks for sharing! Yes I definitely need to validate the propose amount of solar panels. Is there such thing as over producing energy? Let’s say I really only needed 15 panels vs the 20 panels proposed to me by the tech. Will those extra 5 panels be a waste of investment?

    Are solar panels really worth it?

    I am with SCE. I was initially looking at Tesla Energy, but thanks to this forum I did read about the horrible timeline and bad customer service. I did start shopping around with other companies like FreeVolt. Price is definitely higher than Tesla Energy, but panels might be better quality and...

    Are solar panels really worth it?

    I’ve been shopping around for solar panels. Tesla solar panels sounds really appealing especially for the price compared to other companies. With the break down on how much I will save over the next 10 years is a no brainer to invest in solar panels. On paper that looks like a great deal. Even...

    2016 Model S 90D vs Model Y

    I’m leaning towards a brand new MY over a used 2016-2017 MS at this point. From what I am hearing, there are uncertainties with the MS battery and I’m not sure if I would be comfortable being a 2nd owner on a Tesla not knowing how the car and battery was treated. Before joining this forum, I had...

    2016 Model S 90D vs Model Y

    I’m coming from a Prius, so either car would be a awesome upgrade. Do the 2016-2018 MS have the same autopilot and FSD features as the MY?

    2016 Model S 90D vs Model Y

    new member here and not sure if this is the right forum for this post. Also I am coming from a Prius, so Tesla technology is fairly new to me. Been eyeing a used 2016 Model S and a friend suggested to go with a Model Y instead. The MY is a bit out of my budget at this point. Just wanted to gain...
