    Damage to PW When Fully Drained?

    I have an ongoing issue with my gateway (described in another thread here), result being I have no data logging or control via the app or the gateway's WiFi interface. The issue surfaced over three weeks ago, and the batteries are now off (no LED lights). I assume they are drained, and have...

    Powerwall Gateway WiFi Unavailable. No Stats or Control Available via App or Gateway

    Yesterday morning around 7 AM my app was showing zero data from my Powerwalls. This happened once before when I noticed the green lights on the batteries were blinking. A gateway reset solved that. But this time the battery lights were solid, but the reset didn't fix anything. The gateway's...

    Firmware 2020.48.x

    Just got notification of 2020.48.5 and am installing. Will show what's new then done. This is the second update where I got it on first day. Maybe because I updated to full FSD on my Model Y?

    EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) for $4k. Who’s in?

    EAP is back as an option! Basically, it’s FSD without city driving. It includes summon and parking. I’m tempted.

    What Are These Spots in the Finish?

    Blue Model Y, two months old. Ceramic coating applied about a week after purchase. Typically, I wash the car once every week or two. This past month, with intense heat and then bad air due to local wildfires, I haven't been able to wash it... until this past weekend. Much to my dismay, there...

    My Delivery Experience - Turned Out Well

    (posted here from my FB post as many in forum "don't do Facebook") Overall, just short of perfect. The delivery experience is contactless - once you "accept delivery" in you app, the car populates there and you use it to find and open the car. Inside there are card keys and documents to be...

    Pick Up in San Francisco or Fremont?

    Small matter, definitely #FWP, but I am undecided: I got the text that my Model Y is ready to be delivered. I had set it up to take delivery in San Francisco, about 25 minutes drive. Earliest date is this Thursday. I might be able to switch it to Fremont, about 50 minutes away. I had the...

    Jeda Wireless Charging Mat V2 and USB Hub - New in Box

    These items were mistakenly purchased twice, and I didn't realize the mistake until too late to return them. They are both new in box, never used. I inadvertently opened the charging mat box before realizing the mistake. It was never used. The hub is in its sealed box. Charger $60 Hub $80...

    Model 3 OEM Floor Mats

    These are the floor mats that come with the LR versions of the Model 3. They were in the vehicle for the ride home from delivery and replaced with all weather mats. They are clean/immaculate and new. $60. I live in SF Bay Area or can ship. I take PayPal, Apple Cash or Venmo.

    Charge Interrupted. Condensation in J1772 Plug w/Adapter?

    Purchased Model 3 in November 2019. We have been using a Clipper Creek EVSE for three years prior to that, using Tesla's J1772 adapter for the Model 3. No issues charging the Model 3 until recently. A couple of times, I noticed the EVSE was flashing a red error when plugged into the Tesla...

    Multiple Sessions During Night with Departure Charging

    I have set my departure at 6:30 AM. Looking at the charge session record via TeslaFi, I typically see 3-4 different periods that charge. I set my charge at 90% and typically it goes something like this: 10:30 PM (previous day) - 11:30 PM, 74-82% 12:30 AM - 12:47 AM, 82-85% 1:36 AM - 1:47 AM...

    Anyone Order a HomeLink Recently?

    I ordered the HomeLink about three weeks ago and have heard nothing since. Has anyone ordered and got the HomeLink installed? How long did it take? Thanks for any info!

    Ceramic Pro Coating - How Many Layers?

    I'll be getting a ceramic coating for my new white Model 3 ASAP. From looking at websites for local detailing shops, they all offer various packages. The higher the price, the longer the guarantee. One of the shops offers a lifetime guarantee that offers four layers of 9H coating (along with...

    Ceramic Coating for New Model 3

    Greetings from a Model 3 noobie owner. I picked up my Stealth (Team White) from Fremont Hub a couple of days ago, and the love affair is just started. My current favorite song lyric "The machine of a dream, such a clean machine". Queen got it right, except for the the second line "With...

    when Tesla says "all orders place in November will be delivered in 2019", I believe them, but...

    I tend to keep a positive attitude, and when Tesla says "all orders place in November will be delivered in 2019", I believe them. That said, here is a scenario that seems reasonable and not-at-all Tesla SOP: Tesla and order holders faced the same scenario last year. The $7500 tax credit was...

    HOV Sticker Questions

    I've read that California changes the stickers every year. If I take delivery in December, would it be advisable to hold off applying for HOV sticker until January? That could conceivably add another year of eligibility. Also - the Model 3 is obviously already eligible. If I registered my...

    Owners who took delivery in Q4 2018: will Tesla meet promised delivery times this year?

    I'm posting here because most owners leave the "order, deliver" section and won't see the question. You are probably aware that new buyers are facing the same confusion and anxiety that you experienced last year. We all are/have all dealt with Tesla's lack of communication, and believe me it's...

    Pedestrian Warning Sound

    I almost hate to ask, as it tends to spur controversy. Tesla recently added a pedestrian warning sound to all new production. This makes a noise to warn pedestrians of an approaching vehicle that otherwise would be silent. The downside - no more whisper quiet when stopped. It's apparently...

    Powerwalls and UPS's During Outages

    If the power is shutoff (PG&E, you know the story) AND your Powerwalls are full, AND you have solar, you may find anything attached to in-home UPS's will switch to backup mode, even though everything else is powered. I verified this by testing it in my system. Read the following link for info...

    The Model Year is the Best Indication of Current Production

    There have been a few posts here indicating the VIN they were assigned is not one of the "newer" ones (535xxx+), indicating the numbers aren't assigned sequentially. Thus, no way to tell when it came off the line. Since all the current quarter cars seem to have the "L" (MY2020), this should be...

    Best Way to Power Cycle PW/Solar Setup?

    I want to power cycle our Powerwall/Tesla SolarEdge system, hoping "turning it off and turning it on again" fixes some issues. What is the proper sequence and delay between steps? Thanks of any info!

    Has monitoring.solaredge.com also stopped working?

    The SolarEdge monitoring app was working great until today. I understand Tesla closed the SolarCity app, but I didn't know it affected SolarEdge inverter monitoring. Is the SolarEdge monitoring app working for anybody today?

    Anatomy of a Balanced Time-Based Control Setup

    I recently installed three PWs with an 8 kW solar array. I've been experimenting with the various charge profiles available via the Tesla app. The one for balanced time-based control looks really pretty: The rate schedule times summer weekdays for E-6 via PG&E/MCE: Peak: 1-7 PM Partial...

    Looking for Good Third Party App for Powerwall

    Since we mostly agree the Tesla app is lacking the information, results and history that we would like, are there any options? Like most, I've taken to manually recording daily results with hopes of finding something better. I realize there are devices that an electrician can install, but I...

    Odd, Persistant Grid Draws in Self Powered Mode.

    Greetings, first time poster here... and a new owner of three Powerwalls. I posted this issue in the FB group but got no answers, and I'm waiting (and waiting... and waiting...) for Tesla tech support to "reach out to me"... Hoping someone here knows the answer. My purpose is to be self...
