The Tesla (nee Solar City) lease is coming to and end on one my systems. There are three broad options to choose from: a) buy the system. Tesla has given me a price about $2,500 for a 2.5 kW system. I get to own the system as-is. It stays in the Tesla app, everything is the same except no...

I want to add one of those "system shutdown" buttons to my Powerwall system. It has a gateway 1. I figured it would be as simple as adding a switch to a normally closed (or open) connector on the system. But in studying all the documents that I can find online I haven't been able to find such...

I say "never ask me again" but it keeps asking me. I think TMC must have a different definition of "never"

Edit: The problem is with using "Shift-Enter" instead of just "Enter". Of course the question is still why? I believe in white space between paragraphs. But the current forum editor will delete them if I press backspace anywhere in the paragraph. I can put them back, but it is infuriating...

Anyone actually have experience with projectsolar.io? I'm immediately suspicious of anyone using a ".io" domain. What they have on their website sounds pretty impressive. The way they answer questions on their social media also is pretty impressive. It looks to me like they are doing solar...

We had a power outage yesterday. The outage happened in the early evening while the system was discharging the Powerwalls in self powered mode. The Powerwalls dropped the loads for about 16 minutes and then came back on. I've seen others report Powerwalls taking a while to pick up the load but...

Anyone know how to reach Starlink reservations support? They seem to have lost my account/reservation. Back in Feb I placed made a reservation. I tried logging in today and I couldn't. None of the account recovery methods worked. I placed a new reservation so I could login to see if I could...

Anyone else getting: 400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large When trying to "manage" their product on the Tesla website? I can successfully click on "manage" for my cars but can't for my energy products. This used to work (prior to the website redesign) I have five products in my...

I held my camera next to the inverter to record the really faint pumping noises that it makes. I thought some folks would find this interesting. This was near solar noon, this is a 4 kW inverter with about 4 kW of panels on a NW facing roof. Inverter was on the SW wall of my house in sun...

I can't reproduce this so it appears that I was mistaken :( Android App Version 3.10.8 Model Y 2020.40.8 Model 3 2020.40.8 I noticed today that I could go between the cars without have to switching between them in app today. I don't know if this is a new car or app update. I was at home...

I'm in the process of getting a heat pump water heater for one my rental properties and I'm looking some advice. Should I increase the size of the water heater? One of the plumbers I'm talking to warns about slower recovery time. Can't I just use a tempering valve and increase the the storage...

After one of the recent software releases (definitely with 2020.24.6.1), our 3 and Y seem to wake up and unlock the charge port when the J1772 button is pressed. There is slight pause as the car wakes up and you need to have proximity key that would unlock the car nearby (e.g. phone key) but...

Has anyone experienced random front passenger seat tilting forward unexpectedly? It has happened several times as my wife is entering and it tries to crush to fold her. Also in the same vein has anyone had the right rear passenger window just open? So far this has happened only once while...

I don't know when Tesla updated it but you can now easily add additional drivers to car via the website. Go to "Tesla Account", click "Manage" for the car you want add/remove drivers to and then you should see "Car Access" section. When you click you will get to a page like the attached image...

Picked up our Model Y today and noticed that it "knew" my existing key card's name from our Model 3 when I added it to the car. I added the new Model Y keys to the Model 3 and gave them a name. When I went to the Model Y to add the rest of our Model 3 key cars I saw that it updated the...

I couldn't find a forum for the app so I went with Model 3 one since that is what I have. Secondary or additional users (what is the official term for them?) appear to not have access to "Roadside Assistance" in the Tesla app. My wife has her own Tesla account. Her account account is...

We are in the process of buying a property in Glendale, AZ. It pains me to say that unfortunately it has Tesla (nee SolarCity) panels on it. During the inspection period our roofer said the roof is at the end of life and needs to replaced pretty much now. I figure no problem, the contract...

During the great California PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff) crisis my Powerwalls were in Storm Watch went into storm watch Monday afternoon. I noticed yesterday, while still in Storm Watch mode, the Power Wall would discharge. A few hours later it seemed to realize that it was still Storm...

It looks like the tail lights don't come on consistently when it is raining. I had assumed that if the green auto lights icon was on, the tail lights were on but that doesn't appear to be the case. Today my wife was in our model 3 and I was driving right behind her and I noticed the lights...

My searching has not turned up answers to this question: Is it possible to accidentally open the passenger front door while the car is at speed? The handle seems like a good grab handle but wife is concerned about accidentally pressing the button.

I used to be able to hit the webserver on the powerwalls on my wired Ethernet. Starting a day or two ago I stopped being able to do so (on either http or https). The device responds to ping (ICMP echo)

I noticed version change but I haven't seen any change in behavior yet, anyone have the scoop? [edit: Oh heck, I see there are discussions about 1.12.0 in a firmware thread, didn't find it on searches] arnold
