    I'm going to add a second Powerwall 2 to my system in a few weeks’ time and the installer came around to do a preliminary survey. One thing he mentioned, which I regret not quizzing him further about, is that if there was a grid outage and it went into 'island mode' only one of the batteries...

    Battery-only upgrades to be VAT exempt from the 1st February 2024?

    I've just ordered an additional Powerwall2 for which I was quoted £7700 (inc VAT). The installer has just contacted be to say it's highly likely that I won't need to pay the VAT on this due to revised Government guidelines (see below). So, if it goes through, £6417 for a Powerwall2 second...

    Powerwall showing as unavailable in the app

    A few days ago, my Powerwall 2 starting showing as ‘unavailable’ in the app and reporting 0% charge and not supporting the house load.

    Alarm on unlock issue

    Two 'unlocks' needed to release charging cable in the morning

    I'm not sure if this is due to the colder weather but releasing my home charger cable in the morning is a struggle. I press unlock on my phone app, there's a click and the light goes white but the cable won't release. I have to wait until the release option come up again on my phone and...

    My Model 3 didn’t charge last night

    Some miscellaneous observations after 10 days’ Model 3 ownership

    So, I picked up the car (LR) on the 22nd last month at Bristol which was a largely positive experience. The car had just been washed and a guy was still screwing the number plates on while I was looking around it. The only issues I found were two doors slightly misaligned which I may get...
