    Black screens and failure to start charging

    Twice in the past 3 days my 2019 Raven MX has greeted us with black screens. This last time it also failed to start charging (we use the scheduled departure method). In both instances, we were able to get going by using the two-button reset method. Tesla replaced our MCU2 last summer when we...

    Questions about scheduled departure charging

    I live in SoCal and I’m under SCE’s Prime TOU rate schedule (where rates nearly triple between 4pm and 9pm) and are basically the same other than during those hours. I set up my scheduled departure charging to reach 90% by 8am and specified 3:45pm as the end of off peak hours. Today, I...

    MX doesn't consistently recognize it's at home

    2019 Raven MX. We have 2 driver profiles and both are set up with the "exclude at home" options enabled for walk away locking, auto door opening and sentry. About half the time, when at home, it behaves as if it's not at home (locks doors, sentry is on and door auto opens). We very recently...

    Confused about SCE PTO and NEM 2.0

    I just received a long-awaited PTO from SCE for a battery-only installation (solar panel system was installed in 2019). As expected, the PTO confirms that I will be (remain) under the NEM 2.0 program which I have been on since 2019. However, it goes on to say ... "The Solar Billing Plan will...

    Are adjustable toe arms necessary for better rear tire wear?

    I have a 2019 Raven MX. The most I seem to get out of rear tires is about 20k miles. I'd like to increase that if it doesn't require too much of an investment as I only plan to keep this car another 2 years. Based on several threads here, it would seem that N2itive and Macsboost might be the...

    Preparing to be towed with black screens

    2019 Raven MX with both screens black (no reset methods seem to work). It still goes onto R and D so I’m probably able to drive it but who knows for how long. It would be safer to be towed and that’s what the SC instructed me to do. Assuming I can find neutral, is that all that’s needed to...

    Both screens black and won’t reset (tried both two button and four button methods)

    2019 MX Standard Range. 38k miles. We were away for a week. We left it plugged into level 1 charging at home in the garage. Last time I checked was a few days ago and it was charged to 90%. App says last time it saw the car was 2 days ago … but app won’t connect. Car was unlocked. Lights and...

    How to protect new front half-shafts

    I just picked up my 2019 MX Raven from the SC today for its last in-warranty service (expires next week). Among the repairs was replacement of the front half-shafts. What is the current wisdom on "best practices" for preserving these new half shafts (e.g. run suspension in low, drive in chill...

    Set Falcon door to custom height?

    I found where i can set the height to “auto” or “low”. Is there a way to set it to a custom height (e.g. 90% of fully open)? I ask because my passenger side FWD top seal is starting to rub (just in the rear) when fully open and I don’t want it to get worse and damage the seal. I know a door...

    Powerwalls installed without CT on non-backed up loads

    I have had a 10kw solar setup since 2019. I recently had 2 PWs (third party) installed awaiting PTO from SCE. City final inspection is complete. My main panel is a 400 amp service integrated with meter. The battery installers ran a 125 amp circuit to a backup loads sub panel next to the GW and...

    Would adding off grid panels trigger change to NEM 3.0 in CA?

    I live in CA (SCE territory) and currently have a 10kw grid tied system installed in 2019 under NEM 2.0. I realize that adding panels to my existing system would trigger a change to NEM 3.0. I am considering the possibility of adding a smaller off grid system (panels + batteries) to...

    Powerwall 2 installation location questions

    I’m nearing the end of a loooonnngggg battery install (to an existing 10kw solar system). I have 2 PW2s. My installer has already mounted the batteries on an outside stucco wall of my house. The latest crew leader told me that he didn’t think I would pass inspection because the batteries are too...

    2019 Raven Standard Range “Park assist not available”

    Driving down the road, for no apparent reason, “Park assist not available” warning popped up on the display. I thought it would just go away in a few minutes but it seems to be persistent. I rebooted (steering wheel buttons while on brake) to resolve a different (WiFi) issue. It fixed the WiFi...

    MX won’t connect to WiFi

    My MX has always been connected to WiFi when it’s home. Never a problem. Recently the app tells me that there’s an update available but I need to connect to WiFi. I suspected some sort of glitch with the network connection. So I “forgot”the network connection and attempted to login to WiFi to...

    Some questions about how Powerwalls, Gateway, Solar and CTs work together

    I have a pending installation of 2 PWs, gateway and critical loads panel with existing 10kw solar that is stalled due to some vendor conflicts. Without getting into details (in another thread), I have some questions about how Powerwalls, gateway, solar and CTs all work together. A better...

    Vendors have literally halted my Powerwall installation

    I apologize that this is so long. I've tried to make it as brief as possible. But, there is so much to explain. I am nearing the end of a dual Powerwall installation and my project is HALTED until I can figure this out. My problem is with the vendors rather than the equipment. Allow me to...

    What exactly does the “shutter” feel like?

    2019 Raven Standard Range. I fear that I may be sensing the dreaded shutter on acceleration. However I wouldn’t really describe it as such. For me it’s more of a thumping sound until I let off the accelerator. I don’t feel any sensation in the steering. It just sounds/feels like banging/thumping...

    Broken trunk latch door

    2109 MX Raven Standard Range. The hinge pin on the little spring loaded door on the floor that conceals the trunk latch hook worked its way out of the plastic tab on one side. As a result it got off center and the force of the trunk closing seems to have broken off the plastic tab that holds the...

    WTH is this?

    It’s a wire (looks like solder on the end) just hanging down under the car behind the driver side front wheel. It doesn’t seem to be causing any issues but it could be related to a feature I’m not currently trying to use. Any ideas?

    Where to buy body parts?

    There are plastic strips that run along the edge of the pan under the car between the wheel wells. They are attached by plastic button clips. My car has a tear in that strip and one of the plastic button clips is missing. As a result the plastic strip has a small (~3 inch) section hanging down...

    SoCal owners - front license plate - yay or nay?

    Do you have your front plate mounted? If not, how aggressive are the cops to enforce? Have you been busted? Is it just a fixit ticket or is there a fine? The car just looks sooooooooo much better without it.

    Who has disabled auto-present?

    Our car is still new to us and we’re slowly becoming familiar with some of its unique features. My wife wants me to disable auto-present. As cool as it is when I’m actually approaching the car to drive it, I also find it annoying when I’m innocently walking near the car with no intention of...

    Condensation in left side tail lights

    I just gave my new-to-me 2019 MX a bath. I noticed both left side tail lights have pretty significant condensation in them. Most has faded after an hour or so. But this is concerning. I’ve got a year left on the warranty. Is this covered or something we live with?

    Sharing AC circuit with wall charger

    I have purchased a wall charger for my new-to-me 2019 MX. My service panel on my house is on the opposite side of the house from the garage. While possible, it will be complicated and expensive to run a new circuit to the garage for the wall charger. There is no dryer circuit to commandeer- so...

    Preventing AC from running while grid down

    We're in the final planning stages of our 2 PW2 install. I have 3 split AC systems (main house, addition and guest house). 1 will be configured as a non-backed up load (main house). 1 of them runs off of a sub-panel that is a backup load (addition). Another runs off a sub-panel that comes off...

    Phantom braking

    Is this even a thing with MX? Most of the articles I’ve read mention M3 and MY. Does it only affect cars without radar? Do any/all MXs have radar? Does it happen with Autopilot or FSD or both? I’m getting my 2019 Raven (no FSD) later this week and want to understand if this is something I need...

    Powerwalls coming soon but first install wall charger

    My SGIP Powerwalls (2) are coming soon and so is my used Model X. So I need to get busy and get a wall charger installed. I have about 100 ft run to the wall charger location from my panel. I plan to put a j box at about the 75 ft mark where it enters the garage. If I want to install it for the...

    Clarification of how a Gateway would work with a 400 amp service

    In 1990, I added a new section ("addition") to my house and built a separate guest house structure. At that time, we upgraded to a 400 amp service to the main house. From the main panel, 175amps go to the "addition" sub-panel and, from that panel, 100amps go to a 100amp sub-panel at the guest...

    Powerwall 2 into Sub-Panel?

    I am researching a project to install 2 Powerwall 2s into an existing solar installation on my house. When I had my solar system installed a couple of years ago (27 LG 370 panels with IQ7 microinverters), there were complications surrounding the routing of conduit and placement of the combiner...
