The IRA restores the 30% tax credit for an EVSE and it's cost of installation up to a maximum credit of $1000 (businesses can claim a larger amount) Originally this credit ended last year but has now been extended for installations through 2022 and is retroactive from the beginning of the year...

I had a home service appointment today and got busy and missed Omar, the tech's, message that he would be here in 10 minutes. I noticed it an hour later. No doorbell, no call. Just fixed and disappeared. How can anyone not like this kind of service?

My wife updated her phone to app version 4.00. I have not updated my phone app since I like the combo graphs. However, today, my app stopped showing the solar / powerwall "tab". Rebooting the phone didn't help. Any one else see this? Any suggestions? or am I forced to go to the 4.0 version?

We have a 21KW solar roof and 3 PWs. Lost power a couple hours ago and recently noticed the PWs are not being charged by our solar generation which the app reports at 0. The PWs are at 87%. Given it's mid day, I expected the sun to be charging up our PWs or supplying the house which is only...

I now have 5 months of PG&E bills showing usage for On Peak, Part Peak and Off Peak. Using Tesla's Advanced setting in the app's customization setting and as expected tesla shifted grid load away from Peak and Part Peak, leaving most pull from the grid during off peak. After 5 months (3...

Does Tesla's "Vehicle Charging During Power Outage" capability work for Tesla vehicles using a generic EVSE (with adapter) or will it only using the Tesla Wall charger?

Just got my pto and I'm trying to decide the best way to use my powerwalls (3) and solar. I'm expecting to generate more than sufficient power over the year to meet our needs. Should I fill the powerwalls during the day and draw from them at night? Or, keep them in backup mode and use the grid...

Waiting for PTO, but very concerned about the low level of generation. Tesla told us the we should expect daily averages of between 11kwh and 22kwh for November and December. Our average for those months was under 4kwh. Tesla won't tune the system until pto, would we see that big of a...

I'd like to ask opinions on this. If you were to move into an apartment with a dedicated parking space, would you rather the parking space have a pre-existing hardwired 120V 20 amp J1772, or a 120V, 20 amp outlet? Not both, but one or the other. Why and would it matter as to what EV you...

we know that we have to provide families in apartments the option of having an EV. We’re working on some potential building codes for new apartment complexes. We’d like to allow both shared L2 and simple L1 solutions. What would you like to see in a building code? Some questions and concerns...

Just turned on a solar glass/ 3 powerwall system and not getting the expected generation. Can one add add traditional solar panels to a solar glass / powerwall installation? Are there any parts of the existing system that can be shared, or would this be a completely new independent system.?

We did a final Placer County inspection of our solar roof today. Not granted. Discovered that any new roof installation in high fire risk areas must have gutter guards included. We did gutter guards 20 years ago and they were terrible. Pulled them out within 6 months. Hoping they are much...

Apologies for having started this in the rooftop layout thread, but I hope there might be some suggestions from the broader community. We just turned on our solar glass roof with three powerwalls. Expected generation to the some reasonable portion of the 21+ kW spec'd. We are seeing peak...

Anyone know the rated range miles for the 90D in 2016? Guy

EVers, Drove the AlCan in July / August 2014 from US border to Fairbanks with a Tesla Model S85. Starting the planning to do it again July 2020 in a Tesla Model 3 or Model X. Both have electric ranges over 300 miles. Any interesting changes since 2014? Guy

We have a location in Ashland that is 140 miles north of north of a charger and 50 miles south from another. If we were able to find a land owner with power that would be accomidating to an SC site, to where should we past a recommendation.

Repeating my 2014 Model S drive to Fairbanks, I'm considering driving a new M3 to Alaska. Anyone interesting in purchasing it when I get there?

In 2014 I drove a Model S to Alaska (my Tesla Tijuana to Tundra Tour - T5). It should be a bit easier with a Model 3, so I'm thinking about going for it again. So a couple questions for the community. 1) Has anyone else taken an EV from the lower 48 to Alaska. I consider the ferry...

The discussion always seems to imply that the car has to take full responsibility of handling every possible situation. Currently we provide freeways which limit the challenges to driving. Minimum speeds are established, fences keep people and animals away, access is restricted, etc. I would not...

Two years ago as part of my T5 (Tesla Tijuana to Tundra Tour) I made the trip from Phoenix to Fairbanks (via B.C. and the Yukon). Has anyone driven from the lower US to a Alaska w/o taking the ferry or being towed? Technically you could say the Alaskan panhandle could count, where's the...

These are big ticket items, at least to us. Any suggestions best way to sell an S with the uncertainty of an X pickup? What are the best venues to sell an S? Any experience in private party sales price compared with a trade in with tesla? General advice along these lines would be appreciated.

I was at an owner's gathering at a Tesla shop and mentioned that the model S for our family was a huge step up in cost of buying a car. Our previous most expensive car was about $35,000. Most of our cars were purchased used, although to be honest they were company cars with only one year of...

Folks, Please help with my understanding of the electrical world terminology. My knowledgeable brother in law, says there is no such thing as, or it’s incorrect to refer to, a two phase 240V service. Rather it should be referred to two single phase lines. Calling a service a three phase 208V...

The moment you dread... Having to come to a stop on the freeway and seeing the car behind coming up too fast. I can see on the rear camera as a 100 foot separation behind me drops to zero quickly. As we get the hit, it feels like my seat wraps around me. Felt like a hard hit and i told my...

I moved this from the Model S forum. Guy Some of you followed my T5 event (Tesla Tijuana To Tundra Tour) in which I drove a model S from the Mexican border to Fairbanks. The Canada / Fairbanks portion to 9 days. I'll be creating a trophy for the person that beats the prior time from the US...

Here's an article by the Fairbanks paper. Fairbanks Newspaper on T5 Also some good discussions with the Fairbanks power utility which should result in an article in their publication(s). My thinking is to establish a trophy to be handed off to each person that beats the prior time. Given...

Counting on the Calif incentive for EVs? You should check the new restrictions: New Restrictions in with State PEV purchase incentives

A recent decision by the CARB Board may affect your EV buying decision (at least a little...) A previous restriction existed of 2 EVs per person per year would be eligible for the $2,500 or $1,500 rebate was modified to 2 EVs per person per lifetime. There is NO grandfather clause. If you...

Still working my plans for a trip from CA to Alaska. As one get's further north, power sources become difficult to located. Some RV parks have 50A 220V service, but in some regions only 30A 120 exists. It's been mentioned that if you can find two circuits that are opposite legs, they can be...

You may have seen my posts on trying to get from California to Fairbanks. Seems to be possible on paper. Of course it's pretty easy up to vancouver. Looking at taking 97 to 1 to get from there to Alaska. Are there any Tesla owners along 97/1 between Kamloops and Whitehorse? Wine in exchange for...

Today my model S asked if it was OK to download a software update tonight. I already have 5.9. Anyone else getting this message? Guy

Tesla aficionados, How long has it been since you've been to a drive in movie? We tried it out tonight and concluded that it was better than going to a theater. Cheaper too. Better seat, personal AC control, bring your own food and drinks. Biggest challenge was keeping the headlights off...

major bummer! Just finished doing our 2013 taxes with our tax guy and I mentioned that we are getting a model s soon. As such, I expected that we can deduct the sales tax instead of state income tax on our federal 2014 tax form. Unfortunately, our tax guy said that currently they are not...
