It's finally here: the API has been updated to allow for changing the charging current from the app!

Gen 2 wall chargers are temporarily back in stock: Gloss Black Wall Connector - Gen 2

Enphase Envoy with production & consumption CTs. I've found the information on pulling the live production & consumption stats directly from the Envoy over the local network, but it sounds like someone here has already got this working. For the record, here is the information on pulling the...

+1 I'm about to start working on interfacing to an Enphase system too

Interested. PM sent!

I'm surprised they allowed a wheel as a carry-on! I'd figure TSA would probably find some way to claim it could be used as a weapon. o_O I'm still looking, in case anyone has one.

I've made a couple of round trips from Waikoloa Village on a Standard Range Model 3. From Waikoloa Village to the top of Saddle Road used 40% of the battery, however the complete trip from Waikoloa Village to Hilo used 33% due to regen going downhill. I would expect that you would use less...

Looking for a single 18" aero wheel, preferably with tire to keep in my garage as a spare. I'm located on the Big Island. Mahalo!

Has anyone interfaced this project with the Enphase Envoy local API?

Maybe - they could encrypt the communications. If anyone wants to sell a Gen 2, I need one. I have a PV system to be installed soon and was counting on controlling the charge rate to match excess solar production. The unexpected release of the Gen 3 and sudden phase out of the Gen 2 caught me...

Unfortunately, there's no rotary dial to set the wall connector into slave mode so it appears that Gen 3 will not work with this project. I hope there will still be a way to order the Gen 2 unit somehow...

Is it still possible to order the 2nd generation wall charger by phone or other means?

I'm on the Big Island. There's no indication that any Super Charger station is under consideration. Being a smaller market, it may not be on their radar. They don't do Tesla Energy products here either, other than Powerwalls through authorized resellers.

Yes I did. I checked with my delivery specialist on October 18th. He had them in Honolulu and he sent them to me overnight.

Lucky you! I wish it was available. I'll be going CGS+ as most of the production can be stored in the vehicle battery during the day.

FYI, the 'excess solar' charging mode requires that your installer installed the energy monitoring current transformers on the line to your meter. It works by measuring the amount of export, and it adjusts the available amount of power advertised on the J1772 so that the amount of grid export...

Has anyone had success charging the Model 3 with the 'excess solar' charging mode? This inverter charger charges using the J1772 adapter, and has a unique mode where it can charge only using unused/excess power from your solar array. Recent threads (Two J1772 charging issues: EVSE schedule and...

Has issue #2 been fixed yet? I'm about to purchase the SolarEdge EV charging inverter, and use it in it's 'charge with excess solar' mode. In this mode, it routinely will advertise higher and/or lower available charging current. It wouln't be optimal if the Model 3 is stuck at charging at a...

If Tesla isn't going to build out the supercharger Network on the islands, they should at least offer the Chademo adapter at cost rather than the regular $500 price so we can utilize the existing fast charge network.

Data point: Still no plates or registration after 9 weeks. I took delivery on August 12th.

I've only charged to 100% once. It read 220 mile range remaining.

I placed a deposit for a 3.8kW system a few weeks back for installation on the Big Island. They're not yet doing installations here, and it will be interesting to see how long, if ever, they get around to it.

Thanks! That's surprising that they ship the plates and docs to the mainland to be sent back here, especially for a non-financed, non-leased purchase.

How long does it normally take our local Tesla sales center to send the registration, title & plates after taking delivery? It's been a month so far and haven't received anything.

The SolarEdge 'excess solar' option only provides a benefit if the vehicle is plugged in during solar production hours. It allows the vehicle to be charged without doing any grid import. A typical EVSE will have no knowledge of current solar production or other household consumption, so it...

It's a function of the SolarEdge inverter with built-in EVSE. See page 4: https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/EV-charger-configurations_app-note.pdf

Have you tried the setting for charging the EV with excess solar production? My understanding of this mode is that consumption within the household is prioritized, and whatever is leftover will be directed to the EVSE, and export only happens for whatever is leftover (after the EVSE fully...

It would be interesting to see the source for the article's claim that the price has been dropped back down to $35,000 ($36,200 including delivery fee). The article timeline states this happened last month (July 2019) - this is not the case. Can anyone with a SR and/or SR+ MVPA dated August 13...

Go figure! Took delivery of SR on August 12, then price drops on August 13...

Thanks, my Tesla salesman just confirmed the same.

For anyone with an updated price, does it show the new breakdown of the new Standard Range price and the new upcharge for the SR+? It was $35,400 + $4,500. I've got a SR on order and want to know if it's price has changed.
