    New Tesla Solar & Powerwall Installation!! How many powerwalls??

    Depends on what you are using them for, and what your utility allows. 1.)if you are looking for protection from power outages, then the powerwalls will sit charged most of the time. Living in PA, having powerwalls with our grid has been super awesome (we find out we lost power when the app...

    Requesting Help Determining if there is an issue with one of my Tesla Solar Strings

    I feel silly for not using it sooner. It's an older IR scope, and It's definitely come in super handy over the years (finding heat leaks in the house, kittens hiding under a shed, finding a neighbor's pet who had run away).

    Requesting Help Determining if there is an issue with one of my Tesla Solar Strings

    Correct on point 1. I'm wondering if an MCI is tripped on the roof or if some other connection issue is going on up there. I'm assuming it's a 2x10 string that's active, but it's possible they wired the 2x7 into the working inverter. So it's either 3 panels hot when they should be cold, or 9...

    Requesting Help Determining if there is an issue with one of my Tesla Solar Strings

    Best I can do, I only recently hooked up the pypowerwall (because I'm a fool) and there hasn't been a gold-standard pure sun day. This was before the inverter with string C/D died a horrible death.

    Requesting Help Determining if there is an issue with one of my Tesla Solar Strings

    Due to how the ground falls away from my house on that side, I had to hike to my neighbor's property. I was worried about IR reflections, so I took some from one angle, then walked a bit to get more shots from another. I also varied the color palette to help the data pop a bit in some of the...

    Requesting Help Determining if there is an issue with one of my Tesla Solar Strings

    If so, i'm unaware of how to do so. I've logged into the Tesla Inverter, and had pypowerwall pull all the data from the gateway, but I believe with the way they have my system setup the only wires coming down from the roof are the actual DC conductors. It'd be super awesome if they had a test...

    New Tesla Solar & Powerwall Installation!! How many powerwalls??

    Do they? I had been told that in order to get 240v backup, I needed two of them. (not that I was going to get 1). Sorry for the misinformation, learn something new every day :-)

    New Tesla Solar & Powerwall Installation!! How many powerwalls??

    At *least* 2. 2 gets you 240 backup. We started with 2, and are adding two more to buy a bit more backup time incase of power loss (we just got hit by a giant storm that took out power for almost 24 hours, and our two powerwalls (not running heavy loads like the dryer or AC) carried us through...

    Requesting Help Determining if there is an issue with one of my Tesla Solar Strings

    Greetings! I was stupid and didn't setup a pi with pypowerwall (and the dashboard) until recently, so I'm in the hole already for trying to determine if the array I have is working correctly. The whole setup has been live for a couple of days past one year. Three strings total, with a small...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, I can only give feedback on the M3LR we just picked up, no hum present. (Went down to the garage to check) Car is deathly silent with climate control off. Put it in reverse, backed up, put it in drive, pulled forward, no hum. Manual park, no hum. Just one data point though. Maybe...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Depends, are you referring to the heat pump sound, or the pedestrian warning system warbling noise? (Only had my M3LR for a couple days) I can hear the heat pump condenser fan when standing outside of the car if I turn climate control on remotely. The PWS is a weird warbling noise mandated by...

    Picked up a beautiful, no panel gap (Including the rear lift) or other issue 2022 M3LR (as an engineer, I went over it with a fine tooth comb). Got a nice 2 hour drive home, and holy smokes the car is awesome. Autopilot was super nice for the drive home. I expected it to bail out in any city...

    Complete what you can, but I left payment as cash until the vin came in, then sent a text to my SA, who changed it to financed.

    It makes more sense when you look at it as tesla batching like orders for a geographic region and submitting them to the factory. Those of us with Blue M3LR's in the PA area have had our updates ping almost in lock-step with each other, for instance.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When we did our test drive, the settings under drive had been all tweaked to hell. If you haven't, I'd go in and set them to chill/standard regen/hold braking or whatever combination you want. Besides the speed, which we also noticed, was how the car stayed flat and stable in turns (pretty...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Amazon :-) Not sure if it's okay to provide a direct link, but if you do a search for "Remove Before Flight Banner" you should find a selection. Mainly got it as a fun little thing, and a visual reminder that the old muscle memory pattern of "Get in car and go" has an extra step now of...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    So, question because our tesla person said to look to get financing in order when you get the VIN number. Did you get the VIN email at the same time as the final payment email? (honestly curious)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ohh...I hope you love it as much as I did, but maybe the service center will give you a test drive? If you don't get a chance...take it slow lol. The instant torque is no joke, and the Regen braking on standard (one pedal driving) instantly was addicting. Made my current daily driver feel...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think they're making the white seats first, judging by the Edd's :-D just double checked, and my edd is still 11/5-12/5. Got to test drive an older SR and fell in love. But, positives! Plenty of time to get the wall charger installed, and order all the accessories and floor mats and whatnot :-)
