    Solar Panel Frame Reflection - HOA

    Just received a letter from the HOA that one of the home owners is in much "discomfort" because of the glare from my solar panel frame. Does anyone have suggestion on how to remedy this? Matte black paint? Can they just be removed? Will Tesla help?

    Tesla Solar Panels & Inverter (no powerwall) with Neurio and two electrical panels

    Technician finally came out after 2-3 weeks of level 2 support queue. Technician added a third CT clamp to port 4 to monitor the Tesla inverter and ran diagnostics across both the Neurio and inverter. All seems normal in the interface but never on the Tesla app. The Tesla app still showed 2x...

    Tesla Solar Panels & Inverter (no powerwall) with Neurio and two electrical panels

    Regarding your question with the black wire, it's a split from an existing power source that goes into the push wire connector and using the same breaker to power both the source and the neurio. In your setup, it does not appear you have a power source that needs to be split. Do you have a...

    Do you have instructions on how to access the gateway configuration to update this?

    Tesla Solar Panels & Inverter (no powerwall) with Neurio and two electrical panels

    This is a interesting yet effective solution that when i removed one of the CT clamps, everything appears to be normal. But if only going with 1 CT, will Neruio record all usage from both phase a and B or just one or the other? And which of the CT clamps should you not use?

    Tesla Solar Panels & Inverter (no powerwall) with Neurio and two electrical panels

    Can you confirm if this is just an aesthetic issue with the front facing app and that the back end is being reporting correctly via Tesla and utility company?

    Windshield Streak

    That looks like overspray from ceramic or some chemical? Unfortunately, since you have tried the recommended treatments, the only way to remove this stubborn stain is to one-step with DA. I would ipa wipe down, one step has worked or even better Carpro Ceri Glass with a rayon pad. I would put a...

    Super helpful, thank you! Firmware did not work for me, so I'll have to contact them in hopes of getting a replacement.

    Gen3 HPWC disassembly, with overheating issues explained!

    Did you need to install the entire base and reconnect the wires from the replacement or just the cover?

    Touch up paint or take to shop?

    In that area, it may be best to just use some DIY kit to patch it before you take it to the paint shop. You will more than likely get more in that area and I imagine a paint shop will have to paint the entire hood and wiper hand.

    This is just the serial and QR code but no password. The password is located on the back of the glass cover.

    Wall Charger v3 50 amp to 60 amp

    I just recently updated my 120 amp panel to 200 amp panel and can now fully utilize the Wall Charger to 60amp breaker. I have the correct gauge to accept the 60 amp where i just need to replace the breaker. Unfortunately, i no longer have the manual with the password to get into the settings...

    My Model Y smells, does it happen to yours?

    I too had the vinegar sour smell and replaced with a HEPA air filter from Amazon and so far it has been better. But usually the smell happens during the summer so we'll see.

    Humming while parking in garage on a new Model Y. Is this sound normal(video attached)

    Sounds normal to me. You will notice the humming lasting longer in extreme temperatures and longer drives.

    Bizarre Mobile Service Appointment Today

    Don't be alarm, my mobile service chipped my paint and could not put the door back together when attempting to fix the rear passenger. It resulted in me having to drop off the vehicle into the service center for a month. Not a single apology. Sherman oaks, CA mobile service to be exact.

    Side Mirrors Loose?

    This is reassuring. Thank you!

    Side Mirrors Loose?

    It appears to be "normal" but the glass on the side mirrors look to be protruding outwards with a wide gap . Anyone else see this on theirs? I imagine a ton of water gets through during rain or a car wash and I can see wires inside. Hopefully it is safe.

    Soon to be MY owner essential accessories?

    Personally, it was a small price to pay to be able to just clean easier and quicker. You can use whatever solution you have and rag to wipe the dust. Also, fingerprint marks are far less visible and apparent with the screen.

    Caliper Covers with Gemini Wheel Caps?

    Yes, some generic caps from amazon. The 3 will fit the Y.

    Caliper Covers with Gemini Wheel Caps?

    I found a place that painted the calipers and powder coat in a full day. Painting calipers were $300.

    Caliper Covers with Gemini Wheel Caps?

    For the price, I would rather have it professionally painted. While at it, I would also powder coat the Geminis.

    Wi-FI Connection issues

    There could be an interference of signal in the garage. Have you tried reversing into the spot? If it is reversed in, try going in forward to the garage. Strange, but it has increased my wifi strength by doing so. Also, I would skip any WIFI extenders as they do not work well. If you are...

    Lease vs buy - a spreadsheet

    I used KBB but you can look at private party sales and it would be closer to KBB than the trade in value of Tesla. I believe we are talking about the same things.

    Lease vs buy - a spreadsheet

    I believe the traditional depreciation is based on private party sale. Check KBB for value and I see it at least $10k higher than what Tesla trade in is offering. It's well known the trade in offers from Tesla is terrible.

    Lease vs buy - a spreadsheet

    Based on the depreciation rate of the Model 3 at 10-15% after 3 years, purchasing the Model Y is financially wiser than leasing. Just on pure numbers alone.

    Door leaks, stuck "open"

    I noticed the back passenger window coming down slightly during a wash i did at home. There's some correlation between water pressure and window automatically opening in the Model Y?

    Probably not a great idea as the 4506-T forms will be verified through the IRS.

    To finance thru tesla or find financing on your own

    No, you will input the loan information at a later date. Preferably, when it's closer to the estimated delivery date. It can be a bit tricky but the loan process is pretty quick, you can get approved for the loan within a matter of minutes to an hour.

    To finance thru tesla or find financing on your own

    They will pull the credit upon request for a loan. Once approved and rate locks, you will have roughly 30 days to take the loan before having to re-do the loan approval again.

    Less expensive home charging alternative

    The separate EV meter is its own separate incentive. As long as you have a level 2 charger installed, it qualifies for $500.

    Less expensive home charging alternative

    Also, a lot of water and power companies provide incentives for the level 2 chargers. LADWP, gives you $500 credit.

    Heat pump acoustic cover

    I tried contacting the service center, they looked up my VIN (5xx) and told me it is not one of the VIN's that qualify for a insulator. Seems like a load of bull when all new Model Y's are fitted with the insulator. They did say to bring it in and the technician will test to see if it is too...

    Hub Cab Cracking Sound

    After the Homelink installation, as the technician was moving the vehicle, we all noticed the crackling sound from what appears to be from the hub cabs. Anyone experience this sound with the hub cabs? Link to video below: Imgur
