My sister just texted me that it is “open”. I assume she just drove past and saw that the fence is down. Nothing in Nav.

Still fenced but closer

We are so lucky here to not have to worry about TOU or weird net metering rules. I just leave the PowerWalls in 100% backup mode. Seems like they will last a long time since we are not discharging them often. The best part is Portland General Electric(I cannot use their initials due to CA...

I got the iPhone app and checked my 7 year old Powerwall and it still has 100% of its 13.5 kWh capacity. This agrees with what I see when my utility taps the battery for one of their events(suppose to pull 80% and that is a bit over 10.5) In my case it seems that age doesn’t matter. I go thru...

I am still trying to understand why you don’t want to draw from the grid. Of course it is our situation where we have net metering that makes it something we don’t need to do. I know many areas don’t have 1:1 net metering. Just wondering…

Just curious, do you have a good net-metering plan there(or one at all)?

Sure is nice not getting a big bill anymore, isn’t it. We are lucky to have 1:1 net metering here. Just for fun I went off-grid for a month when I first got the system but that was it. Did not save me any money using the powerwalls at night. It has worked out well not cycling the batteries ...

I thought “there is a school bus with it’s lights flashing” would be a pretty simple reply to the question why I turned off FSD.

I was in a friend’s 2023 Model Y and he disengaged FSD and it asked him to give a reason. In my 2020 Model S it does not ask for any feedback if I disengage. Is this normal in the older models?

Question about auto park on a 2020 Model S. Driving thru a parking lot slowly sometimes on the IP it will show a spot with a P but nothing on the main center display even if I stop. Do we get to pick a spot and if so, how? Or is that something only newer cars can do. Frustrating to have a...

Thanks, I was driving slowly thru a parking lot and was expecting to see something pop-up showing parking. I will try again. I do have USS

I figure this is a good place to ask about a 2020 Model S. I drove a bit today on 12.3.4 and it was good, nothing challenging. I noticed in a parking lot (FSD not engaged) that I did see anything on the screen about parking. Is self-parking available on the older S?

Got my car back from Tesla Service. Turns out when installing the software update the car went into ‘Recovery Mode’ whatever that is. It did it again while it was there and the logs were showing a USB error. They removed my USB thumb drive that stores the dashcam footage and everything...

Yep, I assumed as much since that is how we do releases at work, easy to test the new release, swap over and regress back if we missed something(not that I have ever missed anything). I will certainly let folks know what happens. Funny I have been in IT my whole 40 year career but have never...

There is a guy in Oregon that takes a plain piece of copper and with heat and abrasives make really amazing panels. Hard to believe there is no pigments involved. Makes we wonder what he could do with a cybertruck, as long as it is not mine. (Yes, I know copper is nothing like Stainless. Just...

I tried the scroll wheel reboot and the hold-the-brake /scroll wheel reboot. Everything in side the car was dead except the hazard light button.

Talk about a bummer. Has anyone had an issue with installing on a legacy car? Was so happy to finally get V12 for my 2020 Model S. Clicked install and it went to 30% and seemed to stall. Didn’t have an option so I just turned in for the night. Next morning the app showed it was still at...

Maybe I should not have wanted 2024.3.15 so much for my 2020 Model S. The first install failed and the second one started an hour later, got to 30% 2 hours ago and the app is not refreshing. Went out to the car got in and it’s dead, no screens, no AC. The doors work and it locks from the key...

Just want to say how happy I am for everyone getting FSD 12.3.n and having fun with it. Seriously….. I am not bitter at all sitting here day after day watching the posts stream by while I sit here in my 2020 Model S that I paid to have FSD in. I am fine waiting, no problem all… really… 😢 NOT

In case you wonder what that sound is, it’s me gnawing my arm off in my 2020 Model S (with FSD) waiting to replace 11.4.9. Has anyone gotten 12+ in the previous Model S

Just got finished with a 1600 mile drive from Portland to Salt Lake City an am hoping for some highway fixes. I am on 11.4.9 and I use to have some phantom braking with previous versions but I could usually ID the issue like shadows, pavement patch’s. It was annoying but I understood what it...

Under the tire size is DOT, then manufacturer info and then 3521 which means it was made in the 35th week of 2021.

I have 2 Powerwalls, one is only a year old the other was installed in 2017. I only use it for backup so it rarely discharges except for the 10 times a year the utility buys power from us. They are mounted outside. The Netzero app showed no degradation, pleasant surprise if correct.

I take it back, they did post the story. They did confirm they will be V4. Will have a good view of Mt Shasta to boot https://kobi5.com/news/local-news/city-of-weed-to-have-16-new-ev-charging-stations-installed-220107/

Wish the local station streamed the story. Getting 2nd hand info from friends whose whole experience with EV’s is the electric golf cart at Lake Shastina. Someone just relayed the story ended with “unknown when it will be completed, the Tesla V4 stations are ‘backordered’” . Yeah, sounds...

Yes, the pin was in the wrong place and it is between the two gas stations. Also yes it was a vacant lot, the local news was thoughtful enough to show a picture of it before work started

Did I grow up in a small town? You betcha. It made the local TV news tonight. The reporter said there will be 16 V4 chargers! Of course I won’t believe it until I see it. Weed bought the lot for $50,000 and it has taken 4 years to get this far. I am amazed they raised that much. I remember...

Add 20-30 kWh of battery capacity sounds easy? What are you willing to give up? The frunk? Rear legroom? Plus hundreds more pounds of weight to drag around town for the times you do take a long trip. 30% more battery might only give 25% more range due to the added weight. I have a 2020...

With superchargers so available now I am not concerned with range much anymore but in my 2020 Model S LR+ with 19” wheels I can regularly travel 300-320 miles using 90% of my battery on I-5 and 72mph(during the summer using AC). A 20 minute stop every 4 hours is pretty much what the family...

Quick test also but it does seem that intermittent wipes are working now

I just got 2023.44.30.4 on my 2020 Model S(I never get the latest software). If I wasn’t lazy(and it being almost midnight) I would take it out for a drive. Strange how happy I will be if the wipers are working correctly rather than annoyed with them getting broken in the first place and taking...

I feel better now, hard to accept I could have totally forgotten what the old place looked like. Now I have another reason to go to the Hi-Lo for lunch, the place is even older than me.

Need another photo, I can’t figure out the location unless they raised the site, seems to high. Yes, I am probably the only person on this forum who was raised in Weed(and yes, fun conversations when I got to college(also college was the first time I saw a traffic light)). So weird to think my...

I wonder if there is any commonality between the cars that work and the cars that don’t. My wife’s Bolt has worked on the TUWC since day one. The J1772 standard should be a ‘standard’ across all cars but everyone has their own code I suppose. If the TUWC works on some Rivian’s but not others...

Been a while and my TUWC is working fine, decided it is not worth the effort to install my standard Tesla Wall Connector on a shared power circuit. Therefore, if anyone wants a brand new TWC at a good price in the Portland OR (Beaverton) area, let me know. Cheers and thanks for all the advice .

OK, here we go, I have a 2020 Model S LR+, had it 3 1/2 years with about 20k miles. Had it below 10% a few times and charged to 100% once when I first got it. Original has 402 miles range indicated, 6 months later changed to winter tires on Slipstreams and the range dropped to 380, never came...

Got it, connect to wall connector WiFi, go to http://192.168.92.1 and the configurator opens. Also saw the software version is 23.24.3

Thanks, to be clear the provisioning via the TeslaPro App? not just adding the wall connector via the standard Tesla app.

Good day all, the electrician just left and the Tesla Universal Wall Connector, after connecting to the WiFi and it downloading new firmwear, charges my Model S and my wife’s Bolt with out issue. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised . I do have one question. I did not do anything more...

It has been very confusing considering how simple the description of “sharing power between 2 chargers up to the limit you set”. I have heard a few installers say is fine to connect them directly to one 60 amp breaker. Others have said you have to put a sub panel in the garage with two 60 amp...

My new 60amp line and TUWC will be getting installed in two days, kinda expecting not to charge my wife’s Bolt but we will see. Still wondering if it is a software or hardware (adapter) issue.

Hi all, I have a Universal Wall Connecter and a V3 Wall Connector (via referral credit). Thinking of installing both on my single 60amp line and set up the power sharing. Has anyone done this? the commissioning process looks fairly involved. Don’t want to hijack this post but seemed a good...

I really hoped 2023.27.7 would fix the intermittent wipers but no. Still have to turn them all the way on or push for a single wipe. I can understand auto-wipers being wonky since there is some small amount of coding involved but screwing up the function of a physical switch? COME ON, we only...

Well there is this verbiage in the IRS documents: To qualify, you must: Buy it for your own use, not for resale Use it primarily in the U.S.

I hope it wasn’t Blue

Sorry if I was not clear, am not counting any Powerwalls, an 8.1kW system from Tesla today is under $20k cash before tax credit.

They use to :-(

30% fed and $6000 state for starts

I assume you have natural gas to the house to run the generator on? 20 years ago we had a gasoline generator and it was really hard to keep it running for 36 hours. We had that option but in our area a reason for a long term power outage could be an earthquake (yes, very remote chance but very...
