that is not the question that was asked

No

That seems very click baity

Actually, I have but I am a searching for a better solution.

cool! I just want a simple way to diagram a 400 amp service home for V2H during emergencies. Gets a bit complicated with batteries, solar, and loads having to be split across two 200 amp panels. .

Hello, Does anyone make a single gateway type switching device for a home with 400A service ? thanks

I guess my question is about the panel requirements. Why does a modern home built with a 400A panel NOT work with Powershare? Is that what you are saying?

so a modern home built with a 400A panel would need a 200A sub panel installed near the desired vehicle location and powerwalls ?

I’m curious what you mean by this

Any updates? Has anyone been successful getting Tesla Solar tiles installed in South Texas?

Why the change of heart? Did you suddenly realize your Mercedes had a volatile bomb onboard with all those gallons of gasoline behind the seat? Will you do the right thing and post on the Mercedes board what a fire hazard they are? I mean, they are carrying around 20 gallons of highly...

Did you know your Mercedes contains a large tank of highly flammable gasoline?

if it flies, the FAA will regulate it .

Nope, no offense taken....just making observations. .

There is nothing in this comment about climate change, only an optimistic hope that Tesla Energy can save failing grid infrastructure because the various state governments and utilities have repeatedly failed to do so. I don't see any moderator action against the posters demanding individuals...

Yeah this is incredibly niche. But maybe they are on to something with the hybrid concept for an aircraft? I wouldn't be surprised if those two "generators" were PT6 turbofans in the two inner most nacelles. Kinda like the orignal Chevy Volt where the "generator" ICE actually was connected to...

Not upset at all. Just find it funny and sad at the same time that members here are questioning others solar/PW/EV credentials to post on the forum. Is this how echo chambers are formed? Hopefully the supply chain issues get sorted and Tesla can build a large distributed grid of solar and...

What is the solar, PW, EV status required to post here? .

My interest was to see how solar and powerwall users were doing in this changing environment (answer seems to be they forgot to insulate their house or replace their 20 year old AC so they drained their PWs in one night). My setup is stuck in the design stages because Tesla was about to expand...

again....you are obsessed with minor things that cause you to miss the bigger picture, forest for the trees as they say. If the aquifers don't recharge there are BIG problems. Similar to the spread of invasive species in Texas. Cedar (Juniper) moved south with the cattle drives same as...

Yes really. Your first map called a vast swath of California "agland" when in fact it is truthfully desert, as your second map concedes. The funny (or maybe sad) thing is while you are searching for rainfall amounts from 30+ years ago to support your pre conceived notions, the statewide...

The two "expert" maps you posted disagree with each other. I find that interesting. But these days you can search for and find almost anything to support a pre conceived notion. Anyway I hope the heat wave recedes, the grid holds up, and everyone learns to prepare for more extreme events...

Yep, that map is a little "revisionist"....but much of what is in the rain shadows in Washington (and Oregon too) could be considered arid, or desert. "Chaparral" is pretty much desert with an ocean view. "Agland" is pretty much desert with water diverted to it. So, a lot of desert with some...

Us regular folks are gonna need some good lobbyists to compete against the power utilities. Same groups that don't want users to be able sell solar back to the grid (or pay you a pittance) will probably oppose V2G (or legislate a way to bill you for it), and that is a shame. .

You seem confused, can you quote any comment from me where I said Texas was not a desert? Also, could you try to stay on topic? This isn't a "your momma is uglier than my momma" thread is it? .

My response to this comment was deleted, but the original comment was left up. Anyone interested in a dissenting opinion, or is this an echo chamber? .

Living in the desert is a choice

California has that cold Alaska water running down the coast acting as a natural air conditioner. Helps with the electric bill.....makes you wear a wetsuit to surf though.

Wow, that's a huge house! Those Carriers have aluminum fins attached to copper tubes on the condenser. Sometimes the dissimilar metals have issues over time with separation.

So is it a large house, old less efficient air conditioners, older code insulation and windows, or a combination of all the above? Just seems like 3 powerwalls is a lot of capacity to burn through in one night. Hope the weather breaks for you soon.

You have 3 powerwalls but that isn't enough to run your air conditioning?

1. True----affluent passengers only though 2. Not necessarily quieter, especially if props 3. That is going to take massive solar arrays .

I don't think you have to disagree, they are partly the same problem! It's just that everyone is viewing this through the lens of 100 years of petrol powered airplane design where fuel and payload fractions had made leaps from wood and fabric, to aluminum, to the composite era but were known...

Very true, but not the point of this portion of the discussion. Here is a recap: The above statement is true and highlights the problem with the low energy density of batteries with respect to aviation. Then, several commenters tried to say this person was wrong. Note the phrasing with...

Now you are just cherrypicking a flying Porsche sold to doctors and lawyers. When it comes to commercial aircraft that have to make economic sense the distance between your examples and a successful aircraft design is enormous. 747-100SR.....29 sold ATR................400 sold vs...

when you cite examples of niche, poorly selling, and discontinued aircraft (or ones that got beat by trains), it doesn't really help your point.

that's pretty cool !

I was responding to Electroman, Etna, and MadScientist. If you don't like what we were saying that's fine, but if you want to join this portion of the conversation insults probably aren't going to win you any friends.

no, you don't get to make up narratives then accuse others of false narratives. Here is a recap: The above statement is true and highlights the problem with the low energy density of batteries with respect to aviation. Then, several commenters tried to say this person was wrong. Note the...

You might be the first person to ever describe a 737 as "long range".....hahaha, congratulations! .

I would think electric motorized sailplanes would be physically possible. .

I recommend those that are interested in airplanes that don't go very far, don't carry much payload, and are ridiculousy expensive start a new thread. You could call it "airplanes that don't go very far, don't carry much payload, and are ridiculousy expensive" or for brevity "airplanes that...

ok buddy, keep moving the goalposts and concentrating on crappy airplanes. Nobody will ever want them and the economics will never make sense, but hey you've got that market cornered!

That's basically moving the goal posts from "best selling commercial aircraft of all time" to "crappy airplane but look at the specs....they're crappy too!" Also, you have taken my example out of context. Several people were claiming that aircraft landing weights are normally the same as...

The best selling Jet Airliner of all time is the 737. Currently, the most common example is the Next Generation 737-800. Max Takeoff weight 174,000 pounds. Max Landing weight 146,000 pounds. That is a SIGNIFICANT difference

Ford raises Lightning price up to $8500 Reservation holders who have not been offered a production slot will pay the higher price. "The Detroit automaker said the price increases – between $6,000 and $8,500, depending on the model – will not impact customers who have ordered a vehicle and are...

hahaha, sure. Ford Corporate JUST NOW learned that there were markups occuring. They never, ever heard of it before.....hahaha.

my dude put down the shovel...... Tesla got beat to market by 100 years, is selling like hotcakes, and the vast majority of buyers are "loyalists switching over". Don't get me wrong...choice is a good thing and the Silverado looks pretty sweet, but your binary logic of first to market wins all...

You seem to be changing your story while trying to change the subject. Tesla is 100 years late to the Automotive market and sales are phenominal. No other American car maker has successfully started up and survived in many decades. Here's what you said:

The depth of your delusion is incredible. Tesla sales skyrocket
