    Alternative to drive on sunshine ( excess solar charging with evcc.io )

    I thought it only used the connection to the WC to see if you were home or not to know if it should throttle charging and actual charge rate was pulled and set from the API. If I change to guest vehicle it shows connected but says “vehicle not capable of current control” meaning it has no api...

    Alternative to drive on sunshine ( excess solar charging with evcc.io )

    I used to do something similar but the power swings are too frequent due to having two ac units. I also like to have it as fully close to my set charging level as I never know when the wife will plan to take it somewhere.

    Alternative to drive on sunshine ( excess solar charging with evcc.io )

    Drive on Sunshine is great for those with powerwalls. For those that didn't have powerwalls chargeHQ was a good alternative but now you have to pay $7 a month to utilize the solar charging feature. There are a few scripts out there on GitHub that allow this but I was hoping for something a...

    Aftermarket Rear Diffuser's Thread (pictures+discussion)

    I had the authentic Vorsteiner rear. Wondering if its too aggressive and debating between sticking with the Vorsteiner or going with the CMST one: Vorsteiner: CMST:

    Solar output all wonky lately

    Update to those wondering. They came out and replaced my inverter and it promptly exploded when powered on. I guess exploded is a bit dramatic but sparks flew, big pop and smoke. This was shortly after the guy said I wonder why that jumper was there let’s try this. 😂 They came out last week with...

    Solar output all wonky lately

    I have the panels with 2 Tesla inverters. Odd thing is in my Tesla account the service request says "Damage to inverter reported. May not impact solar production" but it is indeed impacting me and not sure where they got the damage part from. I was not happy to see my Power bill take such a...

    Solar output all wonky lately

    I called tesla and they said one of my inverters looks like it’s low on coolant and said there was a ticket opened internally. They said I should hear back in 3-5 days.

    Solar output all wonky lately

    Nope no issues with debris or dirt. It has been very hot lately but other than that no change I can see even up on the roof itself.

    Solar output all wonky lately

    My solar output on a sunny cloudless day has been very low since June 17th. I usually get 70-80 kWh per day production and since then I barely get 50. Any ideas on things I can try or are there any diagnostics I can run? Or should I just call Tesla? Anyone have any similar experiences?

    Third row comfortable in summer?

    That is a good point I did not consider folding that seat. It would address visibility a bit and also help them get in and out easier. Thank you! Yes it’s the 100+ degrees I’m thinking of. Thank you for your feedback!

    Third row comfortable in summer?

    With cabin over heat protection and pre conditioning it’s not bad at all but then again I have fresh air blowing in my face which is why I was questioning the back. All of my children are short and at this point even the oldest will fit for quite a while. Whoever gets the back kicks out because...

    Third row comfortable in summer?

    Can anyone with kids in the third row chime in on how comfortable they are back there in the summer? I don’t think there are any third row AC vents like on the X. I recall the rear facing model S seats got toasty so I’m wondering how the Y third row fares.

    M3P to MX 16-18?

    I’m passed the rear facing stage on all of them but still have a couple more years till the second oldest one gets out of his booster seat. At this point it is all about compromises for that 10% scenario because even suburbans and the like are not large enough for 8 plus luggage. I mean a...

    M3P to MX 16-18?

    Currently family is 6 with 3 still in car seats so the only time we don’t take the 3 is when we go somewhere as the whole family. 1-2x a week. Eventually plan is to also have the in laws with us and then we will be 8 but if I trade the x that will get us most places and then get a large 8...

    M3P to MX 16-18?

    Thank you for the feedback! I am doing only local driving and plug in at home daily. Roadtrips would probably still be relegated to the gas car. The dashcam feature has been useful several times moreso than sentry mode. Thank you that was helpful! The remote camera I don't care for as much...

    M3P to MX 16-18?

    Tempted to trade in my 21 M3P in for something that can fit the whole family. A 7 seat MY was on my mind but the lack of rear AC vents in 3rd row pretty much rules that out. I'm trying not to get into spending too much over where I already am. This was supposed to be my occasional drive to...

    Brand new system and baffled with energy usage

    Doesn’t a power wall have 13.5 kWh each? If you have 4 that should be 54kwh. How are you empty after discharging only 18kwh? I don’t necessarily trust the usage in the Tesla app because there are several bugs. At least for my time zone anything after 9pm counts as usage for the next day it said...

    Are there any 3rd party monitoring tools?

    I only see Powerwall2PVoutput as an uploader. I'll have to dig in to this further. Oh I like this option as it is self hosted. I usually run things like this on my NAS. I see a powerwall integration component but nothing for solar only: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#search/tesla

    Are there any 3rd party monitoring tools?

    Sorry if I wasn't clear I meant an application that uses existing hardware/API and collects the data and can be graphed, correlated with weather patterns and otherwise interpreted and displayed in ways above and beyond the Tesla app. I like to keep my data like I do for my car so I can see...

    Are there any 3rd party monitoring tools?

    For the car there are many 3rd party tools that monitor and provide all kinds of cool data (tezlab, teslafi, teslamate etc). Is there anything similar for solar? I'd love more detail, weather data, advanced charting/logging. Does anything like that exist? I do not have powerwalls and have tesla...

    What could be causing this energy usage?

    Just confirming the fix found in the other thread is working. Basically my neurio was using CT 1 and 2. I changed it to CT 1 and 4 and reversed one of the clamps (They are directional) on one of the main lines and so far its is showing normal usage and not counting half my generation as usage. I...

    What could be causing this energy usage?

    I believe I found the answer. I came across this post with a user also complaining about innacurate home usage reports which led me to this thread which basically says its a neurio device issue reporting inaccurate consumption numbers. Per @stephen503 "when solar > ACTUAL home usage (so, sending...

    What could be causing this energy usage?

    I just received PTO this week and being a nerd I love to analyze the data I’m getting. I’m located in Phoenix. I just have a few days of data but I’m trying to comprehend energy usage the last 2 days compared to the first two. It seems that over the last 2 days I have this weird dome shaped...

    Tesla solar subscription no longer available

    Tesla solar subscription no longer available

    I've seen reference to the commercial subscription but it seems now on the tesla site you can't ditch the powerwall any more and all mention of the residential subscription seems to be gone. Anyone else notice they dropped that option? I knew the powerwall changes were coming but not ditching...

    Windshield Repair experience

    I had mine replaced at the Tesla shop I assumed they did it but it could have been subbed out to a glass company. I did like that it was official Tesla glass and and not generic glass I got with all my other cars even if taken to the dealer. I did not use insurance though mine was a warranty issue.

    Tesla inverter in hot climate

    I did not know they were liquid cooled. According to the specs there is a note next to operating range that says: For the 7.6 kW Solar Inverter, performance may be de-rated to 6.2 kW at 240 V or 5.37 kW at 208 V when operating at temperatures greater than 45°C.

    Tesla inverter in hot climate

    Has anyone in a hot climate used the Tesla inverter? My worry is the operating range of 113 *F. Even in the garage the summer months could exceed that. Summer is coming up quick and those triple digit days are not far off.

    Advice needed on Tesla vs SolarEdge inverter selection

    Are the optimal temp ranges on both similar? The Tesla inverter seemed somewhat low at 113 with AZ heat but I don’t know what the SE one is? I signed a new contract recently and my email states SE inverters. I wouldn’t mind the Tesla one as I like the look and would have assumed they would have...

    Its a month to month subscription based on size of system. 100 month for 8.16 and 150 a month for 12.24. It lets you cancel at any point. As far as warranty I think with the subscription you have a warranty as long as you subscribe with purchase there is a defined period. Panels are getting...

    I'm trying to do the math on which route to go with solar. I haven't been in my home a year so I don't have a full look. I only have about 6 months of data from when I actually lived in my home. I also recently purchased an M3P in addition to my Chevy Volt so my usage will go up a little bit. In...
