    How To Setup Charge on Solar

    Has anyone been able to get Charge on Solar working? Even with what we think is the correct setup, our car always charges to the max. These are the steps we went through to set up our Model 3: In Model 3 settings: 1) Click the three horizontal bars under Charging 2) Click on "Charge on Solar"...

    Thoughts on P85D+ Upgrade vs. P100D or Plaid?

    We have a 2014 P85D with the plus suspension and are contemplating upgrading the battery pack to a P100D. Cost looks like it would be about $25k. We'd get to keep the free unlimited supercharging, premium connectivity, etc. Net cost to swap out for as-built P100D would maybe be $35k after we...

    Real World Range - Best Wheels / Tires 2014 Model S

    Our real world range on our 2014 P85D is pretty consistently about 80% of whatever mileage is listed on the computer. So, if we charge to 200 miles, we will get 160 real world miles. The car has 21" staggered Turbines with Michelin Pilot Sport. I understand there are a lot of factors here...

    Anyone Have Video Supercharging Model S P100D At 150 kW?

    Does anyone have an example time lapsed video of a P100D charging at a supercharger after Telsa unlocked the capability to charge up to 150 kW? I'm thinking of upgrading a P85D and I wanted to see the difference in charging speed. I found one video online from 2017 when charging was limited to...

    Where to buy Tesla 100 a CT

    We recently had a second solar system installed after putting in Powerwalls - the solar installer told us they could plug the new solar into the Gateway, but they didn't do so. At this point, I don't think they are going to complete the work. I was wondering if there was a way to buy another...

    Powerwall Connection Problems

    One of our gateways (on a two gateway system) seems to drop its data connection about every month or so. We do a reset of the gateway and everything will come back up just fine and run for a couple weeks, then it drops again. Anyone else having a similar problem? And/or is there a fix? The...

    Trip charged our 2017 M3 the other night for the first time (maybe ever). Got up the next morning to leave, and we received a bunch of errors, including that the following items were disabled: ABS, driver stability control, autopilot, cruise control, power steering, tire pressure monitoring...

    Infotainment Upgrade Brick

    Anyone had issues with the infotainment upgrade bricking your car? I have a December 2014 P85D and opted to do the infotainment upgrade since my screens had the glue bubbles, the eMMC recall, and since the 3g is being shut down. It's now been in service almost 2 weeks as Tesla hasn't been able...

    Go Off-Grid Not Working; Powerwalls Turning Off During Peak Time

    When attempting to use the app to "Go Off-Grid", the app returns the following error: We have three Powerwalls, and our house consumption is generally between about 0.7-2.5 kWh. The screenshot here shows 0.8 kW. We don't have any AC units. The Powerwalls should have way more than enough...

    Powerwall Gateway Ethernet Adapter

    Due to connection issues with the onboard wifi in our Powerwall gateway, I am attempting to hardwire the connection with an ethernet cord. I noticed that the gateway enclosure has a top hatch that I can pop open to pass the ethernet cord through - the opening looks to be about 2 inches, which...

    Max Number of Permittable Powerwalls [in Napa County CA]

    Does anyone know if there's a limit on the number of Powerwalls that can be installed in a home? We are located in Napa County and our service is with PGE. We have a ~17kW ground-mount solar and our NEC peak demand calculation is about 47 kW, if that makes a difference. The back story is that...

    Help Submitting PTO for SCE

    We had a 4.4 kW solar system (16 REC Solar REC275TP solar panels and Ginlong Tech Solis-3.6K-2G-US inverter) installed under the original NEM 1.0. We added 3 Powerwalls to this existing system and I am looking to submit my own PTO application (instead of continuing to wait on Tesla - it's been...

    SGIP Rebate Extension

    Does anyone have experience obtaining an extension to finalize an SGIP reservation? Long story is that we ordered a Powerwall system from Tesla in Feb. 2020, the project was supposed to be finished in Sept. 2020, but the system was defectively designed and installed, and failed inspection from...

    Tesla Refused Powerwall Install - Now What?

    Long story short is that we ordered our Powerwalls back in February, and finally had an install date of Sept. 15, 2020. The team came out to do the install, but decided that one of our sub-panels needed to be moved about 20 feet for code compliance because the height was 5.5 foot instead of 6.5...

    Recommended Rims for P85D?

    I recently bent the front right rim hitting a rock driving through the canyons and it needs replacement. Currently have 21" carbon turbines; staggered. I was told that Tesla charges $2k to replace one rim. A rep at America's Tire suggested I go with TSW Aileron, which run $400/rim ($2k for an...
