I'm on 24.2.7 with a '23 LR7 and I had retrofitted the oem module and a data cable and when I went to try and use my USB wireless game controllers today they were not recognized. I did not try a full reboot. I had to move my usb-c hub and add a usb-c_to_A adapter and then plug in my sentry USB...

Do you have the OEM part for the USB data input in the center console, or a third-party part? I had heard of issues with the third-party parts but not OEM yet. I have the OEM part purchased from Tesla (though my 2023 LR6 Y did not come with it) and last used USB game sticks a few weeks ago...

Thanks for sharing this! Looks like you have done the hard work that will make it a lot easier for me to transition from using the owners API via teslapy to the BLE local commands to excess solar charge while production prioritizing the PowerWall to get full each day. Need to spend some time...

No check here yet in SCE country, and I was just thinking yesterday about this (when I got a recall notice from Tesla for a Model Y, letting me know that our car was already running a software version with a fix for the recall :-p).

California lawmakers backpedal on new electricity rates rule based on customer income It’s a good time to contact your California representatives and ask them to fix AB 205 which will further decimate solar and make electricity exceedingly expensive for those who have already prepaid their...

Yes, as I pointed out in the post you quoted, below the screenshot, I was mistaken and realized that they were not quoting all-in costs including installation. I wonder what an additional Powerwall would cost to an already installed system, but probably better to just wait for more Tesla models...

Last year, I think the checks came about February - there was just a dollar amount. If you don't have grid export enabled you can look at the Powerwall data for the year and click on Grid, then the Exported section should have a Powerwall listing, which would reflect the vpp events. With that...

I had seen that price ordering a single Powerwall direct from Tesla. Went back and checked now for an address in Southern California and the price is showing as $8400 before 30% tax credit: Just realized that does not include installation costs. Sorry! That is where all of the local installers...

I hope this doesn't come off as a fanboy response, because it's not my intent, but if the Wallbox costs $6-7k as suggested by the posts above, it seems like it's a draw, given that you can/could get a Powerwall with gateway installed for 9k direct from Tesla (6k after the 30% tax rebate for...

For those planning on the 30% tax credit for installing an ev charger, do you all live in a "rural" census tract? I was trying to understand the credit from the form 8911 instructions and it seems like they have blocked most populated zip codes from being able to receive the credit...

Going with an EVSE that has good API support would be ideal, but I also have a Powerwall and am looking forward to a future where the car(s) sitting in my driveway can suck up as much excess solar as I can produce and then use bidirectional charging to send it back to the home allowing us to...

Thanks for the clarification on the Wall Connector for Powerwall owners. That would be great! I don't want to give Tesla any ideas to increase the price, but even $2-6k would be a bargain for existing Powerwall owners who also have Tesla cars purchased say, a year ago, before 20k price drops...

Seems like an ESP32 would be perfect to translate the API to wifi on your home network, with BLE connection to the car, but would need someone to convert Tesla's code from Rust to something that could run on microPython? (I guess a raspberry pi zero w in the garage could do it running Rust, but...

Dang, so the Tesla Wall Connector that I bought but haven't installed yet won't be able to do this, but if I already have a Powerwall/Gateway, I can buy and install a UWC and potentially be ready for endless off-grid once we have a compatible car (assuming that you can get by with ~5x the daily...

Ugh. Tesla's built in Charge with Solar doesn't work the way I want (updating the charging speed with excess solar after subtracting out the watts needed to get my Powerwall to full by 4pm in consumption mode), or let me charge with excess solar - house use after expensive electricity kicks in...

Your TesSense is great! Thanks again for being one of the pioneers! Didn't require much to get it working with the Powerwall instead of Sense. I'm still thinking about how I might add in a feature to switch to self powered mode from Balanced mode at 4pm and keep charging the car during times...

Don't want to cross-post too much, but if you don't want to spend $60/year and you have a Powerwall, I mentioned my script in this recent thread: Charging from Excess Solar with Teslapy

Hey, cool! ,For my script I also had started with the israndy one too! But mine is for if you have a PowerWall. With that, and a raspberry pi (or any always on computer which can run a docker container), I contributed my script to this github project: GitHub - jasonacox/pypowerwall: Python API...

The ends look identical in that photo, so I don't think it will matter. Is that the oem cable which Tesla wouldn't let us order, which more securely locks into the computer and the 18ish inch cable from the center console?

The frustrating thing is that people who already have a powerwall already and a 240v charging circuit already have everything they need for v2h if Tesla would put bidirectional capabilities in their car. The powerwall gateway can island and modify the frequency to ramp up and down solar or car...

Saw an article online that people are receiving letters with their payment amount this year. Anyone in California with SCE receive a letter yet?

You can place a service request in the Tesla app for "Other" and request to purchase the following two parts: $34 - Data Module: 1755200-00-B $15 - Data Cable (18 Inches or So, Data Box -> Lower Center Console): 1100827-00-C Then you just pick them up and pay when they are available.

Oh wow- that would be awesome, and what I'd hope would happen, but I haven't been able to find a hard source that would confirm it. I suspected that if scheduled charging was set to turn on during a time when the powerwall was off-grid, that it would limit total battery usage oer the available...

Thanks for everyone's input! I will have to talk with some electricians in the area, and my original powerwall installer about the options discussed above. As I'm thinking about all of the options, I had a few more realizations; 1) Installing a 14-50 outlet with wiring and a 30 or 20 amp...

Agreed. Agreed. In my post I mentioned the max 5kw output of the single powerwall. I'm not expecting the powerwall to exceed 30a output off-grid. I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's within code to have a 60a circuit in a backed up panel and whether the wall connector can gracefully stop...

Oops, you're right, not sure how the word mobile slipped in there but my hope/ intention was to put a full 60a wall connector circuit into my backed up panel, provisioned for 50a charging if needed when grid power is active.

Does anyone else have a single powerwall with a backed up 60a EV charging circuit/Tesla wall connector in California? I have a single powerwall with the whole home backed up. Our baseline energy consumption is about 750w, and we rarely peak above 3kw usage so we're not usually at risk of...

Insert your hands and use your fingers on each side of the plastic spoke and push the little plastic clips together while pulling outwards. You'll pop one spoke at a time and work your way around the wheel. The little spring loaded tabs push outwards on the inner sides of the paired rim spoke so...

I did this install today on a 2023 Model Y. Tried to order all 3 parts via service center request in the app for pickup at the service center. They sent me an invoice showing that only the ports and console cable were available and it would cost about $52, which I approved. I spent about $16 on...

Ha ha, sorry in advance and hope this isn't too off topic...Maybe I'm doing my math wrong. I thought it seemed like my car is using 250w/hr in sentry, so that's 2.5kwh in 10 hours. (250w / 280 w/mi average driving efficiency x 10 hours = 8.9 miles of range loss in 10 hours. My previous gas car...

It would be nice to have the options but I think I'm too frugal to give up 2-3% on a daily basis. I already die a little inside seeing the loss from sentry mode when parked at work... It's like if my ICE car had a tank that leaked a quarter gallon of gas every day in the parking lot during a 10...

Do all of you leave your roof rack in place at all times? I'm wondering if you know what kind of a hit it puts on your watts/mile, and if anyone has a roof rack that they just install for trips where it's needed.

I got a Vin on a Friday two weeks ago and wasn’t expecting it yet and had no charger at home. I ordered a mobile charger and a wall charger the same day. I got a shipping notice for the wall connector the following Tuesday to arrive Thursday. picked up the car on Wednesday and got the shipping...

Oops, the average price/kWh in the 1st row, 4th column should have been "=F1/E1" instead of just an average of the 4th column.

Would like to take a look if someone can post a link to a read-only google drive version. Seems like the Tesla app keeps track of supercharger charging costs (by reporting an average cost for all KWH) and my home charging (since it knows my electric rate plan) but my other category will get...

VIN: PF594 Year: 2023 Matrix: Yes USS: No Parcel Shelf: No Comfort Suspension: Maybe? So far I like the ride but haven't figured out how to confirm if it has new suspension. (haven't seen anyone note a 7 seater with the cargo cover yet? Ordered a retractable one on Amazon that I think I like...

For another data point, picked up a MYLR7 last week (PF594) and it has Matrix lights.

Are there any plans to manufacture these in a side specific version? I want some but think that it looks weird that they would spin with the trailing edge forward on one side of the car.

If you didn't have a ccs adaptor today but had been thinking about getting one, mostly to have an extra option to charge when traveling in case there was a supercharger-free area and also to be able to take advantage of the cheapest charging rates whatever the network, would you buy it, even...

Yes, thanks! Additional info screen in the car does say it is CCS enabled. The vin group must not be updated on Tesla's website to allow me to purchase the adaptor yet. I'll try later or use the developer tools trick.

Oops, I'm dumb. Additional info screen in the car does say it is CCS enabled. The vin group must not be updated on Tesla's website to allow me to purchase the adaptor yet.

Anyone take delivery of a 2023 LRY in the last few weeks and fine that the website says it is not CCS compatible when they go to order the adaptor? My 7-seat PF394 is giving me that message. Is 1537264-00-B the part number that is needed and how hard is it to get and install these days?

If you try to purchase the CCS adaptor on the website does it tell you your car isn't compatible? I would have thought my delivery of a PF394 this week would be ccs compatible but the website says it isn't. The supercharger network was a pro in my purchasing decision but with rate increases...

Can't edit my post. Of note- no USS and no cargo cover. Have any 7-seaters come with a cargo cover?

Picked up today in Southern CA. PF594 ordered mid-May. They unlocked the car to let me check it out before accepting delivery, which was nice. Seems to be near perfect so far after going through some checklists from online, except the rear 12v doesn't seem to be providing any power even when...

Oops, sorry- didn't mean to go off topic. There are other threads for people to read about Plaid. Removing the link in your bank account after the transaction doesn't remove the potential for them to have downloaded data on all of my transactions across all linked accounts. I'll agree that...

I didn't want to give Plaid my banking username and password (they can download all of your account transactions on as accounts you're not even using to pay, and you give up the fraud protections the bank grants because of willingly giving access) and was unable to get the previously noted...

Excited/disappointed here- ordered 7 seat / White w black interior, Tow, 19" wheels second week or May 2022, and was seeing delivery December 2022 for the last few months, hoping that things would slip to January and I'd get the tax credit. Just got a text message that it's time to schedule...

Ah, yes. I guess I didn't read and comprehend the fine print carefully enough. I guess that means that when my wife keeps starting appliances (dryer, dishwasher) during the 4-9pm period even on non-event days, she's screwing our ability to get compensated on event days because our baseline...
