    I set my powerwall backup reserve to 100% - Does it matter?

    Count me in this group: I "suffer" from both range & cloud anxieties!

    I set my powerwall backup reserve to 100% - Does it matter?

    I’m new to this, and still waiting for PTO. As of now, my 2 PWs (~14kWh system) is set to 20% reserve. I’ll probably maintain the same reserve capacity as: 1) we rarely have outages in our area (White Plains, NY), and 2) would like not to use the grid.

    Tesla to add the ability to Charge EV with excess solar

    New to CoS: we have a newly installed 14.5 kWh + 2PW system with 1:1 net metering. We are still waiting for PTO. So, just experimenting with CoS. 1. This morning when I plugged in our M3, the car had approx. 68% battery left. 2. First both our PWs were topped off at 100% - this is expected...

    Charge By Solar Not Showing

    This. Is there a hack to avoid depleting the PWs in the night when I plug in both our cars?

    Is Full State of Charge Harmful to PW2

    Our system just got installed last week (in NY), and I am in your camp -- need max ROI. So far, I have left the PWs at default (50% discharge) -- is your discharge level much lower (say 20%)?

    Discussion: Powerwall 3 [Speculation / Discussion etc]

    I’m in a similar situation as you….more inclined to proceed now as I expect the PW3 to be priced much higher. Also, given Tesla’s past history which product releases, “April 2024” might very well mean “December 2024” for mass availability. Who knows what our local utility might be doing by the...

    Discussion: Powerwall 3 [Speculation / Discussion etc]

    Hmm…where is this information? Tesla website says install must happen by 10/31/23. What is now explicitly added is that only PW2 & PW+ will qualify for the rebate.

    Discussion: Powerwall 3 [Speculation / Discussion etc]

    My Tesla advisor just called to inform that the Town building department has approved our plans. Of course, I asked him about PW3 -- he replied that he is unaware of any PW3 installations in and around the NYC area. Apparently, the Tesla Energy people were a bit "shocked" to learn about official...

    Travelers insurance rate increase in NY

    Hi – seeking some advice here. We have a 2021 MY and 2022 M3. Both cars are insured by Travelers. We live in NY. We just received our new policy documents, and compared to last year, the premium has gone up by almost 16%. Our driving record is spotless, there have been no accidents or issues...

    Model Y to Model X?

    I’m debating the same with our 2021 MY - Tesla or Caravana sent me a lowball offer for Trade-in….are you considering privately selling?

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    Is the solution to actually just lease Teslas…? Is that what Musk and co. want most customers to do…?

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Thanks for the helpful discussion, but per the Tesla manual, the recommendation seems to be to charge to 100% for daily use….where does it say to charge to the car to say 80-90%, and then top it up to 100% “before the drive”? If your vehicle is equipped with an LFP Battery, Tesla recommends...

    Tow hitch bike rack for model y

    This looks like a good option, for a reasonable price. I also don't have heavy bikes (2 small kiddo bikes)...quick question: did you need to also buy the tow package? (I have a MY: Model Y Tow Package).

    2022 RWD Footwell door pocket light mod?

    Hi - I recently picked up my M3 RWD, and looking to add footwell/door pocket lighting. I am coming from an X5, and this seems like a basic feature for cars at this price range these days. Have you be able to implement your idea? If yes, will appreciate sharing details. Thank you!

    SR+ vs LR AWD $13k price difference

    With recent M3 SR+ price increase, I suppose the argument goes more in favor of buying an M3 LR?

    Congratulations on your new ride! Since you had an M3 LR before, what made you switch to SR+ now? I am debating SR+ vs. LR M3....

    North of New York City - really want to spend less on a Model 3...

    Hi - I’m in a similar boat: live in southern Westchester (Scarsdale), and my round trip drive to NYC for work is about 45 miles. We have a LR MY at home, so this M3 will be my daily commuter. Given the recent price increase for the 2022 M3s, the price difference between this SRP and LR is...
