    Solar inverter changed prior to install

    That was certainly one of my concerns too, I felt Tesla wouldn’t disappear overnight versus some of these smaller local companies. If they did I guess I’d be double boned with solar and car. Sorry to hear that.

    Solar inverter changed prior to install

    I absolutely knew the customer service would not be great and I was accepting lower monetary cost at a higher cost of my time. But they still surprised me with how difficult it has been.

    Solar inverter changed prior to install

    It does allow them to substitute if it doesn’t materially affect performance. However, I would argue Delta can materially affect performance versus SolarEdge with power optimizers in regards to shading issues or panels failing and reducing performance. Perhaps Tesla doesn’t see it that way and...

    Solar inverter changed prior to install

    This happened to me as well. I only caught it by chance as I was speaking to one of the installers asking if he had been installing any Tesla inverters yet. He casually mentioned I was receiving Delta and Tesla inverters are mostly west coast for now. He saw my puzzled face and said "you're...

    Tesla now keeps all the SRECs [SREC = Solar Renewable Energy Credits]

    I just got my Tesla solar installed this week in Maryland. The solar contract document allows you to OPT OUT of selling SRECs to Tesla, which I did. All I had to do was request so with my project advisor. It was fairly painless but I did have to wait a couple of days to received the updated...

    Model 3 Standard range Plus question

    I’ve owned an SR+ since May 2019 and put on 18k miles through today (at greatly reduced driving due to COVID). I completely agree with phluppsen. Is the time saved by not charging on a long trip worth the extra cost? I have driven many 500 mile road trips and I am perfectly fine stopping an...

    Purchasing a Model 3 from a friend

    You and your friend need to do some research. I would first go to your appropriate state’s department of motor vehicles or equivalent. Read up on what they say needs to occur as a buyer and as a seller. That likely will provide you the information you need or at least a better idea of what...

    Insurance Tripled after adding Tesla

    Mine doubled with Geico. Went to AAA for one year and now to Travelers. both offer new car replacement and both were cheaper than Geico when I had my Ford Fusion. I think the main lesson is always price check when it’s renewal time.

    is lifetime 270wh/mi high?

    219 Wh/mile on my SR+ but I’m near DC and winter crushed my Wh/mile. I charge a lot at the free charger at work so I don’t warm up the battery in the morning going to work. About 6000/16000 miles was road trips to New England where I use far more energy than in my normal driving around home. I...

    Buggy DashCam

    This is what I see when it happens. Basically, empty files. Sometimes some of the files work and some don't. And sometimes it works flawlessly like it used to. I got the car 5/2019 and this is the first time I've had issues.

    Buggy DashCam

    I have the same issue. I’ve been using a Samsung 830 SSD in a USB enclosure for over a year without any issues. Since 2020.24.6.1 I’ve been having a lot of these issues. When I look at the drive on a computer it’s saving 3 KB files which aren’t playable of course. I’ve reformatted using a...

    No change in range with 2020.4 or 2020.4.1. May 2019 delivery. I haven’t charged 100% but 90% is the same as 2019.40.50.7.

    Cost to add autopilot to SR?

    I agree. I have over 13k on my 5/2019 SR+ and I use AP whenever I can. You monitor it as you should and it works really well. You learn to understand when it will struggle and either take over or adjust when it struggles. My four road trips up the east coast (1200 mile round trips) are REALLY...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

    Yes, same here. It feels far weaker at higher speeds to the point that I need to use the brake again. I don’t like it. I haven’t been driving too much so I thought it was just the battery not being warm enough though the past couple day’s it’s been quite warm. I toggled the regen setting last...

    Comparing LR AWD to SR+

    I got an SR+ and am very happy. I’m fairly certain premium interiors get 1 year premium connectivity and standard/SR+ only gets 30 days. I’m using the 30 day trial and it definitely isn’t worth it for me so far. I thought I wanted traffic displayed but I use Waze. I stream music from my phone...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.2 - FSD AutoSteer Stop Sign Warning and Adjacent Lane Speeds

    I drove 500 miles yesterday on the east coast and was pretty happy with AP/NoA. No ping ponging and I felt it was far better at following curves than it previously was. I’ve always had the issue where the car seems to react 1/4-1/3 second too slow on sharper curves and it would get very close to...

    I got mine rotated at AAA yesterday for $15 and faster than I could do it because everything is slower with a single jack.

    599 Sentry Mode Events

    Have Tesla insurance, just got DMV letter "Intent to Suspend" for lack of insurance

    I had this same issue. Just contact the DMV. I switched insurances and my lender didn’t pass the paperwork to the DMV as they said they would. MD MVA required the insurance company to directly send the MVA the paperwork.

    All Tesla Models will get Range/Power increase (not just SR+) of 5%

    My car is reporting 203 Wh/mile over 9k+ miles and that includes three round trips from DC to Boston totalling roughly 4k of those miles. On the Boston roundtrip I use more energy as I’m driving speed of traffic and carrying extra luggage weight (219 Wh/mi on my September trip up). I do drive...

    2019.32.10.1 was 2.35 GB for me coming from 2019.32.2.1. 2019.32.11 was 500 MB and 2019.32.11.1 was 500 MB.

    Model 3 Software version 2019.32.x

    Upgraded from 2019.32 to 2019.32.2.1 last night. Three phantom breaking events on the highway at 60 mph on my morning commute. I was having very few instances of it occurring on 2019.32 so this version feels worse. It also feels to brake noticeably harder when a car merges in front of me versus...

    Geico just raised my insurance rate

    I dumped GEICO after getting Model 3. My insurance DOUBLED with my two cars. I ended up with CSAA/AAA with better coverage and benefits for the same price I was paying for my 2013 Fusion Hybrid and 2004 supercharged v8 convertible weekend fun car. I had called GEICO a few times before buying the...

    Anyone else just get invited to EAP?

    Took delivery of SR+ with FSD on 5/2/19. Got the email yesterday. TeslaFi data is too useful for me due to traveling so I can’t join. That’s really an annoying restriction.

    If Tesla is a safer car, why the insurance cost does not reflect that?

    My insurance was going to more than double when I was looking into insurance cost before ordering Model 3. I shopped around and increased my coverage as well as added new car replacement and zero deductible glass coverage and I have a net $100/year increase over old carrier. GEICO was killing me...

    2019.20.2.1 Right Justified In Lane At Night

    My SR+ with HW3 has generally hugged the left side and the car knows it and displays as such on the screen just like you showed. When cars are passing me on the highway I can see they're keeping far left in the lane because of where I am. 2019.20.2.1 may have slightly improved it during today's...

    Real Problem When A Lane Transitions To 2

    This frustrates me quite a bit too. Whenever I take someone for a first ride in a Model 3 and show them autopilot I have to explain how you have to take over to prevent weird things like this. The car really should be better at recognizing one lane turning into two or two lanes merging into one...

    Tesla Software 2019.16.3

    My rear camera blacked out yesterday on 2019.16.3. I cannot fathom how this is still an ongoing bug. No issues with ELDA for me so far luckily but with the rear camera issue still persisting it causes me to pause over how well safety features can be trusted to work reliably.

    Trade In Question

    I just did this. I bought an SR+ with the plan to give my car to my mom and trading in her car in to Tesla (who matched CarMax). Tesla said she had to be here in person to sign the title over. Ultimately that wasn’t going to work out timing wise so we sold it locally instead. Concur with...

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly
