The inverter is on the other side of the house but mounted high enough to not get direct sunlight.

The service panel is on the other side of the house, but direct sunlight. Tesla ran these lines all the way to the garage with the hpwc. They’re separated enough to not interfere with my car door opening.

This is very concerning. I’m in the same boat though it will be much easier to remove my ac from the backup. I’ve asked if they will reimburse me for hiring an electrician to find a solution to keep my ac in the 2pw backup panel rather than sending an electrician to remove my ac out of the...

I’m not savvy enough to figure this stuff out but took a picture of my ac. Will it work on mine? I don’t have much faithful in Tesla at the moment. Thanks in advance for your help!

Care to share a bit more about this? Is this a universal device? How is it different than the sure start Tesla installs? What did it cost to install? I have the same issue and want to have an alternative ready. Although they did misrepresented my install as well I doubt they’ll gift me...

There was no such indication in my case. I’m not happy about it as it happened in the middle of a road trip. Had I known I could be damaging my car I would’ve gone directly to a service center. come to think of it why wouldn’t the car communicate that to me. I was told the thermostat leaked...

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Turned out to be a leaking thermostat. The coolant leaked enough to shut down the ac. SC replaced the part after a day of a loaner. Heard this is not good to drive as the same system cools the battery. Good luck.

Ordered mid June and sent permits on June 25, installed yesterday. Pretty crazy How fast this happened. My city inspector showed up this morning and found a couple of issues. Original plan showed 200 amp main, actually 150? Permit for hpwc was not yet approved, even though they installed it...

At night...

thank you for clarifying. Looks like I’ll be including the hpwc with the backup, but won’t use it during an outage.

apparently I have two logins depending on the device I use. This is chispa I may have misunderstood the solar plus powerwall off grid? If the power goes out at night I realize I can only get power from the powerwall. When I’m producing power via solar will the non powerwall circuits work? If...

I’ve thought about this for a while. In the case of a power outage I’ll be able to charge my cars at a much better rate than 5mph. I’ll have enough solar to fill the power walls and my cars during the day and can last through the night with the reserve should the outage occur at night. Am I...

I’ll ask, but I don’t have a permit. Wasn’t planning on getting one. Crossing fingers.

Just got my install date, 14 July. Pretty surprised how fast everything came together. Now I’ve got to get my installation notes done and try to get my hpwc installed before they come. Want to include it on the backup. not include hot tub include everything else hpwc and ac install notes...

According to the consultant it must have an attic. I didn’t dive much deeper but may decide to go with 4 less panels as the eastern face is less efficient. Wish I had though about this while doing my roof last year I would’ve moved some vents to make more room.

Would it be better the to have them install just the Powerwalls in the garage? It’s a pretty long run, maybe 60 feet? What are the disadvantages?

I got 10% of current market value pretty easily, what were your DV estimates of $12-25 based on? I’m thinking I should’ve asked for more, but 10% seemed reasonable based on my research.

Yup. It was a turtle.

Noticed a few areas to fix at pickup looks like a spec of dust hit the trunk during painting They used a wheel to wax the area painted and there were two lines clearly visible in the sun he said make a list and bring it back within 30 days. While driving home I accelerated into a turn and...

I don’t have it yet but can post. Is the idea to compare repair rates? Not sure of the intent?

Getting Stella back today!! Almost 3 months. Any recommendations on hiring someone to apply ceramic coating? I believe I have to wait a bit before application. I’m in Ventura county ca. also, any recommendations on how to proceed with a diminished value claim? thank you!

Thanks bigroo. It’ll depend on what the comps come back from State Farm. A rwd long range is pretty difficult to find.

Well things took a turn today. New State Farm guy called with a concern about the repair costs. Assuming a $20k repair and $4k per month rental I’m told they have a $50k repair limit. This may not allow anything for the diminished value claim either. Maybe having then total the car would be...

It’s 6 pages, 180 items. I’ll try to identify the expensive “OEM” identified items. Rear bumper; bumper cover Quarter panel; RT outer panel Rear door; RT door shell Rear suspension; susp crossmember, RT axle assy

Got the estimate today. $16,700. $6,500 parts Ordered parts now, won’t start until they arrive in a few weeks then...60-90 working days! Crazy! @$4,500 a month in rental fees this is going to hurt State Farm quite a bit.

Thanks for the clarification, that makes more sense. Seemed like neither insurance company wanted to give me what I want. Much the same way neither wants to discuss diminished value.

Learned a couple things My agent said it didn’t matter if I worked with the other carrier directly. I chose to work with them directly as I don’t like the phone game. They will know my thoughts and intentions directly, as long as I’m making progress acceptable to me. Another interesting tidbit...

Thanks everyone. Couple updates Visited the shop, many Tesla’s there. Saw what they’ve done and am pretty comfortable. The Audi driver lady was about 70 years old, clearly shaken. She initially asked if I had come around the truck, but quieted once I explained that everything was on video. She...

Had Stella since March, got hit yesterday. Towed to a Tesla approved body shop. Sent video to both insurance companies. What you may not be able to see in the picture is how the rear wheel is turned out. Clearly suspension damage, not just cosmetic. 1. What should I be looking for when I...

Well that sucks. Thanks for the info.

We just test drove a used S and it didn’t appear to have adaptive cruise control or autopilot. Is there a way to add this? I’ve only driven a 3, so I wasn’t exactly sure how to engage it or find it in the driving menu? Thanks in advance for your help.

It worked, updating now. Thank you!

Just scheduled the service, thank you for the suggestion!

Still on 2019.5.15. I’ve had the car less than a month. Teslafi shows I’m in the minority with most being in 2019.8. Is there anything I can do to facilitate the update? Is it possible there’s something wrong with my update process? Thanks for your help.

For clarification he’s getting a new X. When do they plan to ship hw3in the X?

So it can be a 2019, perfect. Thanks. Any reason to say no? He was planning to get standard ap, sounds like this could be a better deal?

new to the board. Bought a m3 a few weeks ago and my stepdad drove it. He test drove the s and x and liked it the best. He ordered a new one today with autopilot. The Tesla rep told him they had one in stock with eap. I told him it had to be a late model. He said no, it was 2019. Don’t get...
