I heard on the news yesterday that a number of outages were due to transformers blow up from the high heat. Did notice on the caIOS that there was a Transmission Emergency for northern Calif (PG&E).

Just received on my phone Turned both our AC units up to 80.

Your forgetting to mention the vinyl car seats and no AC in the car either!

As I mentioned I usually do most of my charging at home free from the sun when PWs are full, usually late morning or at noon during summer. Harder to do with these 100F+ temps and have sufficient battery back up in case if outage and have AC throughout night. More panels and PWs back in 2020...

We charged last night at a SC after 10p (when Flex Alert ended). There were a few Teslas charging at that hour. This SC has a rate of .47/kWh all day presently. One SC further south I checked was same all day rate but at .45/kWh. There use to be a tiered charge, where if you charged from like...

Wow this is unbelievable. Looks to me from the photos of your car that the body paint was damaged too?? Was that factored into the cost to repair?

Didn’t see anyone mention the latest on QuantumScape’s progress. Now at 24-layer prototype cells testing successfully and two additional OEMs onboard for testing. As reported by Electrek: “We do know the two additional OEMs bring Quantumscape’s total to six potential customers – all of which...

Don’t have the time to look through the thread but it might have been this one or at least provide info you might need to consider. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/master-thread-definitive-14-50-nema-outlet-guide.140694/page-3

I’d start at the wall. Don’t want a fire starting in there. I believe I have read on TMC somewhere that sometimes the inside wall wiring to the outlet (14-50 in your case) can get loose over time (thinking maybe due to heating of wires and connectors over time?) and should be checked, so it...

True. I only knew when it happened as our intercom system’s speakers make a static noise when the Grid system comes back up for some reason. We do have whole house back up.

Yes, @holeydonut is correct. The app will refresh every so often to reflect anticipated battery hours up or down based on current draw and app’s refresh rate. Here’s a screenshot after the A/C use got picked up: We adjusted our A/C temp upwards to I think 78-79F after seeing what was...

The cellular went out first for us and then down the road (around 9pm) we lost our access to our home wifi. Different carriers. Still able to dial out on our landline. Years ago when someone sabbotaged the underground cabling from south San Jose to Gilroy and we lost cellular and internet wifi...

Yeah we need to figure that out. Knew how to access it some time ago but since forgot. We really should print it out and have instructions near system because as was our case tonight at one point no cellular or wifi to search for it online when we wanted the info.

Well update. We are still in a section without power. Able to at least at this hour use cellular connection to access internet etc. and map still reporting 9pm tonight to be fixed - so not very reliable info. My husband received an automated call around 9 saying they were still working on it but...

BTW if you are checking the map, zoom in and click on your area of interest and it will pop up an estimation of when to expect restoration of power. Accidentally discovered this (and it matches what their auto phone messaging passed on to my husband earlier).

Yes you would wouldn’t you.

We were originally scheduled for Eaton load centers but ended up with Square D. Appreciate the heads up. Definitely installed in the timeframe mentioned. Just checked our Engineering Diagrams and 2 Square D load centers (HOM), both with HOM breakers.

My husband is on way home and I noticed that apparently the cell tower lost power. Getting Call Failed when I try calling out but can reach him thru our landline. Our Landline is on call forwarding to my cell and I hear home phone ring but call drops and can’t reach my cell. Frustrating...

My husband got an automated call from PG&E letting him know they are working on it, estimated 9pm for our area. From PG&E outage map it affects south of San Jose and thru San Martin area in large and small blocks. There is also a large area by San Mateo/Redwood City closer to and on both sides...

It reached 104 today a few hours ago and just now heard a slight noise and thought bet the grid went down. Sure enough. I truly feel for anyone across the country right now with no AC. So glad we had our system installed two years ago. My girlfriend in San Jose was just texting that her...

While we questioned ourselves about spending the additional funds to go from 2 to 3 PWs during our installation period, glad we did and I’m still wishing we would have done two double stacks at the time. We added the 3rd PW when Tesla actually had a sale on them (doubtful that will happen again...

I saw that before I posted. As mentioned we just got our true-up check from SVCE but still waiting for our whopping $6.29 check. Has anyone received this yet?

BTW we received an annual Calif Climate Credit on our recent PG&E bill for both electricity and gas in the total amount of $174.26 and after applied we had a bill of under $9 to pay. On that bill it also showed the CPUC Mandated Electric Credit of $6.29 and stated check issued of $6.29. We...

Last year our true up with SVCE was less than the amt required to remit a check so it was rolled into this year’s true up and we just got our check, $347.93. Check dated 5/10. It was mailed in an envelope from Bill.com in Santa Clara and marked Payment Enclosed, so look for it if your expecting...

I am so annoyed by this change both on my app when I go to location within the app and on my car’s screen. Had a few software updates so not sure which one altered how it gets displayed. Just know I want both views back to the way they were. Did a search for this issue on TMC and as has been...

Thanks for posting and following up with photos and status. Hope won’t have something like this happen to our cars but hearing insurance might cover was good to learn. Being out of warranty (assume for mileage) you got really lucky. Hope she’s back up and good as new soon. Now is not a good time...

Are you able to see anything on your USB drive if you put it in a computer to verify it’s actually recording something?

It was nice to watch Harrison Schmitt being interviewed by NASA this early morning while he was there for the launch. A geologist as well. Not many living astronauts who’ve been to the moon left. He looked good and was very happy to be there to watch the launch with his wife. Interesting...

I always love seeing the Merlin engine shots which are especially cool at night. I think they said docking was sometime around 5pm-ish ET.

Kind of late for me to be up but couldn’t resist. Smooth launch and nice nightime liftoff. Always amazing to see Stage 1 returns.

Sorry for not thinking to post back until I just now saw your comment in my TMC alerts but the next morning everything worked. No idea what changed overnight but my situation rectified itself overnight and the alert in the car’s screen disappeared and stations and logos went back to normal...

I started a new thread for this version to let users know. Hope this was okay.

Just got email from Tesla to a request last year I made to them to publish a .pdf version on the Model 3 manual. They had discontinued it last year in favor of an online one but many of us here like to have a .pdf version stored on our phones. The .pdf is now posted as of the 2022.12 software...

OMG surprised today to get an email from the Tesla Model 3 owners manual team letting me know that they WILL be publishing a .PDF of the manual!! Here’s the text from my email. Great News.

Came looking to see if others are having same situation as I started having just today. Made a phone call using car to place call and went fine, hung up and then no audio for my FM news channel I always listen to. Parked car for several hours (will add I use Sentry at this location) and hoped it...

Car was rented according to ABC7. Los Angeles: Dangerous Tesla car stunt ends in crash in Echo Park neighborhood; LAPD investigates as hit-and-run | abc7.com The guys in it took off after it crashed and police are looking for them. Given no view past the hill, they had no idea what was below...

In the area Friday night and grabbed this photo of the location. Store remodel appears completed. Hours are posted on Tesla’s site - open 7 days a week from 10am to 7pm. No idea about Service completion though. Anyone been there during the day to check out both areas? The Tesla Website lists...

OP FYI my 2018 Model 3 LR was on 2021.44.30.14 until it upgraded to 2022.4.5 on 2/15. My husband’s 2017 MS updated from 2021.xx software to 2022.4 on 1/29. Sometimes I get updates before him but not always.

Tonight my husband wanted to add a new iPhone to our Model 3 so he could use it to access the car and have Walk Away locking. Currently using Tesla mobile App 4.6.0 and the current Model 3 Manual and Videos (available under App’s Service section) show the app having a “Phone Key” in the phone’s...

I did order some KN95 masks for myself and for my mother who will be here in 2 weeks and going into assisted living (husband has own supply through work). I’ve been double masking as I said and also using a silicone form to keep the mouth area of the mask off my lips. Seems to do a decent job...

The 2018 recall on those Eaton units were for heavy duty 30 and 60A switches used in heavy commercial, utility and industrial applications per the article on their recall. https://www.ebmag.com/recall-eaton-heavy-duty-30a-and-60a-safety-switches-pose-potential-safety-issue-20363/

I have wondered, and obviously it’s not tracked, but among people who are vaccinated and get infected how careful they are with keeping a mask on or fully on, and secondly what kind of mask have they been wearing? I can easily see vaccinated people at home with no masks and among family and...

I didn’t bother to mention cost because obviously if you can’t afford a particular car you look to other cars you can afford. So don’t disagree that cost would also be a key factor and for most #1 although people do manage to stretch the budget to buy the car of their dreams if that’s what they...

Charging speed is a talking point for the media and something all non-EV owners considering an EV come to expect to be mentioned upfront, so not surprised to see it mentioned in any development news regardless of company. Apart from range, charging speed is key to this buying segment in their...

Jagdeep’s interview with Alex (above) starts out with the basic understanding. He does respond to questions about Tesla’s 4086 cell improvements and what Toyota is testing in cars. Interesting aside is that he owns a MS, MX and Taycan. Alex asked how he came to be interested in working on this...

Well news is reporting now a third crossing point has been blocked. Detroit auto mfgrs are shutting down/curtailing production as a result of the issue. Not sure where Tesla is in its shipments to Canada but it will be effected the same no doubt...

Well this is an interview with Jagdeep himself. 400 cycles isn’t the goal just what they’ve so far been able to test to. Jagdeep said he was not aware of any other solid state developer able to show results to that range even. Are you aware of such published research beyond? And does titanate...

Recently posted video with Jagdeep discussing progress. Interview 6 days ago with Jagdeep by E for Electric’s site host, Alex Guberman (I know a number of Tesla fans watch his site):

There was this news a few weeks ago that got carried by a number of sites: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220127005460/en/QuantumScape-Data-Shows-Industry-First-15-minute-Fast-Charging-for-Hundreds-of-Consecutive-Cycles There was also mention made in the last month maybe about a few...
