A lot of people who responded on this thread don't seem to fully understand Tesla as a business. 1. Tesla tries to optimize for having the right level of customer service for a given customer base, product / service quality improvements and service cost control (which is not the same as...

> It sounds like you got an appointment 30 days ish after you reported the issue which is a while. Math fail? I see you are one of those guys. In every forum where someone raises an issue with a substandard product or service, there is always someone who is keen on defending the company as if...

OP and several others on this thread seem to be seriously considering cutting ties with their utilities in California and going 100% off-grid. Based on few responses, it appears this is even possible in San Diego (and other places?). I posted a reply warning people that Tesla Energy is not 100%...

Are there many people experiencing solar system / solar production issues in locations that have very hot climate this summer? I am in Arizona and my system stopped production on May 14th. It's taken a long time to get through level 1 customer support, then level 2 remote investigation, and...

I have no experience with other solar providers, but if you are talking about Tesla Energy, I don't think you should cut the cord yet. Reason - Tesla Energy's customer service and response times. They are great as long as everything is going smoothly. When things go wrong, they can be quite...

One of my two homes has this same pattern during the hot months of the year, during the hottest middle part of the day. It is a consistent pattern for about 4 hours or so surrounding noon. My spikes go down all the way to zero. Last year was the first full year of operation when I noticed this...

And...? You think "someone got distracted", and so Tesla did not work as per that plan, or that someone did not publish the plan, or both? Switching from Part 2 to Part 3 of the plan is a lot more complex and huge than switching from Part 1 to Part 2. They can't announce it too soon, nor can...

It appears that this guy didn't get the memo: No sensible posts allowed in this thread. How dare he post something sensible! Let's cancel him.

Few points to consider: 1. Twitter's current user-facing feature set does not require a large cash burning work force or infrastructure to sustain. There is plenty of room for waste reduction and cost savings, even after the current lay-offs. 2. In fact, current Twitter user-facing feature set...

Did you forget the sequence of events? Or, are you deliberately misrepresenting?

Very good point about many things in the world having huge fan bases, but very less haters. Most people don't understand that the Elon hate (and by extension Tesla hate) is manufactured. Meaning, they don't know that the sincere hate they feel has been subtly fed into them by a media and social...

What do you mean by "native speakers"? There are very, very, very few Indians whose native language (that is, the mother tongue) is English. Their number is extremely small and would be nowhere near the "most" in the world. Most people in India who speak English have a different native Indian...

Thank you. These are the times when you wish Tesla would provide a desktop browser based access to all the data they show on the app.

Do you know if they consider non-driving days in the calculation of the score? Also, do they round up or down? In the past 30 days, I drove on 15 days and had the following scores: 98 X 1 day = 98 99 X 3 days = 297 100 X 11 days = 1100 The average of those comes to 99.66 if I average it across...

Speed is not a main factor or a direct factor for safety scores. Based on my experience, you can drive the car like you normally would and expect to pay the same insurance as you normally would with other providers. May be lesser, may be more in some individual circumstances. However, the...

You may not have to wait 6 month. I recall that after they increased my premium for the same reason, I was able to go back into the app and estimate a lower miles level, and shave off some of the premium increase. I chose a level that was midpoint between my previous estimate and what Tesla...

If Eversource rejects installing a meter and providing you PTO, Tesla should send the original installation team lead or supervisor to come on site and check out what is going on. The two times that I had Tesla solar installed, the local teams were very proactive. The first time, they made sure...

I had a 3 meter config last year on my old home. One of them was the regular utility meter on which I am billed, another measured solar generation only, the third measured the power going in and out of the power wall. This configuration was required by my utility in the old Powerwall 2...

Any further luck with your issue? I contacted Tesla support just now and the level 1 support says that there is a request to the local warehouse to replace a certain part. He won't tell me what part it is due to "proprietary" nature of the design. But apparently, the request was put in a few...

Yeah... they let FSD Beta / autopilot do stuff for which they would ding our scores because it is risky behavior that increases the chances of accidents. Yeah, I know it is supposed to be a machine that can react faster than humans, but some of that behavior is still risky. At this point, FSD is...

Yes, I suspect that he is counting every recalibration of a machine or reconfiguration of a robot.

I finally got PTO a few days ago. Tesla utility team took about half a month after the system was installed to complete the paperwork with the utility. After that, it took the utility a couple of weeks to complete their process (I am in a state with high solar installs). So, over all, almost...

It is a strange anecdote in my case. It worked perfectly fine for almost 8 months since I got my car. So, they didn't miss a step connecting it. After 8 months, I got a washer fluid low alert, I topped up the fluid and then nothing pumped. That is when I discovered the detached line. I believe...

Agree 100%. Tesla should replicate most (if not all) of the app functionality on the Web. It is almost criminal to not give access to all the Tesla solar system data on the web and confine it all to the small screen app! Most people inevitably have a few days here and there with no mobile access...

Glad I found this thread and saved myself a service call. This EXACT same issue happened with my Model Y too. Going by the many posts on this online, this same issue has happened to many people, enough that this is a design flaw and Tesla should fix this in the design (if they have not done so...

Every time there is a split, people do two things: (a) Describe how the split makes no difference to the value of the shares and the company due to Math. (b) Argue about how past studies have shown no specific correlation between the split and subsequent share price. I don't know why they do...

Well, what do you know... after spending a couple of hours with Tesla trying to get my system working in self-consumption only mode, it turns out that Arizona is one of the states where this can't be done. We HAVE to wait for utility approval before we can start using the production from our...

I have had the same issue as OP since January, after the system worked flawlessly for 9 months last year. Tesla did 3 on premise troubleshooting, including once on the roof. They still couldn't fix the issue. Some time in July (one of the hottest months this year), the issue seemed to magically...

I contacted Tesla support today and they confirmed that with the new Powerwall Plus, my system should have been turned on in self-consumption mode from the day they installed it. Utility approval is needed only for selling excess production to the utility. I remember talking to the main Tesla...

Whoa! So, with my new Powerwall Plus installation, I should have been able to turn on my system and use it even without utility approval? This is news to me! The guys who installed the system told me that I have to wait until utility approval, and so did my project advisor. Wrote to my project...

This is in Phoenix metro area of Arizona. My first panels + PW installation with Tesla was in early 2021 and completed with no issues or unnecessary delays. Well, the only issue was that some of the labels were missing from the panels / boxes, which caused the final utility inspection to fail...

I don't know. It seemed like they did the mileage assessment taking into account my driving data from multiple months. Not just one month. So, if I drive less for multiple months, the premium will probably go down. To be clear, I am not against this. It is just that, I didn't expect the premium...

I got the dreaded notice today, and the reason they gave me is that I am driving more miles than originally estimated. My insurance premium has almost doubled for next month! Never knew miles driven has such a HUGE effect on the premium. I may have no choice but to switch.

It may actually be zero. They are not even bothering to email Tesla owners when insurance becomes available in their states. I knew and signed up for it only because of the forums. Even the news doesn't adequately cover it.

Thanks for the follow-up. That means you saw this issue occur from the beginning of your install? In my case, it worked fine for the first 9 months or so before it started to show this issue... They did come and check the wiring of the panels, but did not find any issues. They are coming again...

Any luck with your ticket?

Update to my original issue: 1. Tesla did remote troubleshooting and could not find any issues. They told me that their Inverter alerts them or logs low coolant alerts. 2. First appointment: Tesla technician came out, checked the inverter and other installations at ground level and found no...

Tesla checked the Inverter logs and told me they don't see any alerts for low coolant. They personally came and checked everything, and did not find any issue either.

Sorry, which thread are you referring to? Was there supposed to be a link in your comment?

Amazing write-up! Kudos to your effort. I think very very few utility professionals understand this, and most of those who understand are not in a position of great influence. Utilities are moving at the speed of ICE Auto right now, and will get majorly disrupted!

May be pump the stock before the split?

Good luck, @hobapolis . Keep us posted. I have not had a chance to follow up on my case yet... But will do it first thing tomorrow.

Yes, I do have a Tesla inverter.

I had the luck(?) to order literally on the day or day before FSD went up by $2 K. So, reluctant to remove it... And oh, didn't the MY base price also go up since then?

Hope so.

Thank you. I will take your advice and get on their case daily. Was not too impressed by their first level support advisors. The first person I talked to just looked at the total production number, said it was 105% of the promised capacity and concluded there was nothing wrong. The second person...

MYLR red with premium interior and FSD. Order date was... mid-January.

For the past 3-4 months, I have been seeing frequent drops in production to almost zero or 1-2 kw between the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM, when I have over 6-7 kw production on my 8.16 kw system. See the graph for what I mean - it has been a consistent daily trend to see these spikes. I think the...

Anyone have luck requesting Tesla to put your order off for a quarter or two? When I placed the order, the delivery estimate was July. I expected to take delivery in July or later, but got a text message yesterday saying I could expect a delivery this month! I am not financially ready for it...

What a coincidence OP! This exact thing happened to me, but two days before you. In my case also, production dropped to zero around that same noon time, but on Thursday. And my system did not start producing again until 430 PM on Friday. So, from noon on Thursday to 430 PM on Friday, I had zero...
