Well, originally Tesla said the payouts would be in the 4th quarter. First year was like January 3rd then February and this year was March

I tried it once or twice last year but was too much of a bish to leave that setting on for the whole season and then see a fat zero for the payment.

I can tell you for a fact that they only count the powerwalls output and not solar. I’ve been in the program 3 years and have calculated the outputs and the payments. I had the same questions we all have at the beginning. You can use up all the power your battery is exporting and it does not...

Has anyone here constantly used the charge from grid option after feeding the grid during an event. I’m wondering how the grid would know if we charge from grid before or after an event. Now that we have the option in the app to do so. This means you can have more powerwalls than enough solar to...

Nothing yet. This is the latest I have been paid. Last two years have been late but not this late. First year was either late December or early January. Last year was end of January. Not even peep this year. Last year they at least sent out emails ahead of time but not even that this year. I...

is there a way to have the rear hvac turn on when I turn on the heat remotely? I heat the car up in the morning but I have to manually turn on rear hvac fan manually and it’s always cold for my daughter. Thanks

Yeah last year I got an email late December saying it was on its way. Crickets this year so far. Last year I got it like third week of January. I’m feeling this year everybody will be missing their checks lol

Damn I’m here wondering about 2023 and you haven’t even got red paid for last year. I hope it gets resolved

I haven’t even gotten the email

Same here. Back in august I wanted 3 more powerwalls and the paperwork went fast. They needed to schedule a second site visit to do an impedance test to make sure I can push back that much power back into the grid. They gave me the runaround for a month on the second visit by rescheduling 3...

Yeah that’s why I’m asking cuz since Tesla let’s you how would the grid know unless they require tesla to limit but it would be easier for tesla to just limit the user instead of giving us the choice lol

Talking on this subject, what is the limiting factor as to why we can’t charge the powerwalls from the grid. I understand the the connected solutions specifically says you can’t charge from the grid to be able to unload your powerwalls during an event but since Tesla now lets you toggle the...

Where did you advertise your car sale.

Lol usually Tesla is pretty good on their own delaying installs as much as possible

I have not done it but maybe it can be done with home assistant. If your solar can connect to home assistant then you’ll see when it’s producing and activate the charging of your car. This could be a lot more messy

I convinced them to put them in my basement just hoping they follow through. They have cancelled and rescheduled twice already for a second appointment so they can check the impedance of the grid.

Birds Eye view requires the cameras to be place in different place than they are placed currently for FSD plus it also requires tesla to pay to use that feature as someone else has the patent for that.

Yea while on grid you’ll be able to use your powerwalls to Pierre everything. Only while off grid will the first 200 amp panel next to your meter be inaccessible

Thanks I’ll do that. Thanks for the reply with my butchered post.

Wondering if anyone has had same experience. Ordered three more powerwalls ontop or original two. Had home inspection about a week ago and then paperwork online and the. I see that they added a. We home inspection for a week from now without any reason as to why there is a second inspection

Not worried about this since I have a second solar system I installed next to the tesla solar which can charge the solar batteries pretty quick. I can control the total export of the whole system. I was just worried tesla or the grid had a set limit of powerwall specific backfeed cap. I’m a...

Yeah I just been looking around and have not seen any first hand account of more than three powerwalls and a want to make sure I’m not missing something obvious so I ask. I get back about $1,500 per PW in Rhode Island and plus the 30 percent rebate also helps. In my case they pay back for...

I have two powerwalls on a connected solutions VPP program and I’m wondering how many total powerwalls you can have backfeeding the grid. I only have 8kw solar but when both powerwalls and solar are feeding back I can easily get to 15kw backfeed. Gateway is connected to 200 amp main and solar...

Does anyone know the max amout of powerwalls for VPP or connected solutions. I have two now and want to know how many powerwalls I can have total and send back to the grid.

Tesla directly

i already have two powerwalls in basment along with solar and im trying to add 3 or more and they sare saying that only max of 2 powerwalls inside home even though this is the first im hearing of this. im perfectly set up to have more powerwalls in my basement instead of putting them outside.

So we have a tornado watch and the powerwalls were drained from yesterday and still not in weather mode where it would charge powerwalls from grid

The check does not come from national grid. National grid pays tesla and it’s up to Tesla to send you the check. I doubt national grid did t pay them but possibly just tesla dropping the ball as usual.

It’s just based on the energy exported out of the powerwall. It doesn’t matter where it goes. If it goes to the grid or your house makes no difference. I use to think it needed to go to grid so first year I minimized my use during the events to export as much as possible. The next year I did not...

No it doesn’t matter what you use. As long as your powerwalls were fully charged before each event and you participated in all events you should get about 1450 per battery

Something is wrong with your system. I have two powerwalls in Rhode Island and I got like 2,900

Thanks

I’ll be nterested but at 2k if ya decide to sell it at that point. I’ll pick up.

Lmfao what is it with people not doing searches here. You want 19 inch for your 20 inch inductions PLUS $2k lol. People are buying brand new uberturbines for $2200 without having to sell their 19s

The lack of visibility I suspect is from tesla and their great customer service

Lmfao

1800 and I’ll take them. Not trying to lowball I’ll just be removing the tires at some point. I’m in Rhode Island b would have to drive down.

Post if you decide to sell. I’m looking for a set but mostly for the rims so if it’s a good price I’ll check them out.

So this year is more delayed than last year even though they have sent two or three emails ahead of time unlike last year prmosing that they were working on it. Maybe it’s time to start tagging people on Twitter like last year.

Nothing in Rhode Island either. Even though this year we have received two emails saying they were working on it.

So we are again here with no check even though they mention that the payment is expected before year end. Last year this is the time we started making noise on Twitter before we were promptly contacted by people saying our checks are on their way. This year they at least sent out emails ahead of...

I mean sent from email address

Lmfao I got the same email and they called me Russell. I almost thought it was phishing scam but the address seems legit.

Yea they require the installer to apply for the grant. I tried everything I could to give them the information they wanted but they would not budge. In the end, I felt that this program is already allocated to a few installers and that that’s how they want it and don’t want to accommodate...

This coincides with what happened to me in 2021. Tesla initiated the paperwork and then didn’t follow through with required paperwork required. I can see why they wouldn’t want to work with Tesla. I was lucky enough and persistent enough that I got tesla to cut me a check for the amount that REF...

Same here. I think this has been the first two hour event that started at 4 and ended at 4. For me, every single time they started at 4 it would keep pulling till 6:06 j Tik batteries were drained but wouldn’t start charging until 7 which means the event was still active.

This makes no sense. Yesterday we had storms and 70 degree weather and barely any sun yet they called for an event. Today full sun and 90 degree weather and no event.

I got an Alexa warning of flash flood and my weather app says flash flood but tesla app never went to storm watch in north Rhode Island and with only 70 percent full and seventy degree weather we are pulling from batteries.

Last year they were a lot more selective on which days were pulled This year seems like they are going for the max amounts of pull allowed

Can’t believe they really called an event today with all day rain and temps in the low 80s. Powerwalls barely above 30 percent full.
