    Setting Powerwalls to discharge during peak times

    sorry to revive this thread but we are researching adding some powerwalls to our existing solar. are you able to tell the powerwalls to power your home from 4-9pm as much as possible before pulling from the grid? and then recharge the powerwalls at night after midnight from grid power (rather...

    Anyone use Powerwall (with Solar) specifically for TOU savings? San Diego, CA

    thanks for the reply. the solar part was just to show that i'd be sending back our production from 4-9p at peak rates (instead of using it up in our home). i guess what i'm trying to say is i don't want to pay for peak rates and wondering if PW helps you accomplish that. i don't want PW to...

    Anyone use Powerwall (with Solar) specifically for TOU savings? San Diego, CA

    wondering if anyone out there has installed a powerwall with an existing solar PV system specifically for TOU savings? ever since SDGE moved peak times from 4-9pm, it's been increasingly difficult to keep my bills close to zero. when peak used to be 12-6pm, we often had near-zero bills for...

    Tesla took away 400kWh annual charging credits

    i had a similar issue -- they took away my 400kwh as well. i assumed a lease from another person 2 years ago and at that time they didn't transfer the FUSC and gave me 400kwh instead. fine, ok, whatever. i rarely supercharge but when i finally did a few months ago, it charged me for it and i...

    Tire foam delaminating

    i had the same issue and Tesla replaced all 4 tires for free (mileage on the original 22” tires was at 20,100). the pirellis with foam are designed for this car and it’s a defect that shouldn’t be happening. the foam is glued into the inside of the rubber and the adhesive fails and causes it...

    Noise and Heat While Charging

    i don't think there is any noise. sometimes the fans come on if the battery is very hot from driving that day, but usually by the time you start charging at midnight, it has been a few hours since the car has been driven. there is some residual heat that comes from charging, but it seems to...

    Protecting against curb rash

    it is annoying we don't have 360 surround, but in the meantime, i rely on the tilt down mirrors in reverse. only way to really see the curb. i personally don't like the look of those wheel bands.

    Cracked Rear Part & Small Dent

    sorry to see that. you can order the fender "garnish" from tesla. it is not too expensive, i think less than $60. if you do a forum search for garnish, you'll get a better idea. the dent on that rear bumper area is unfortunately wrapped around the "corner" of the metal rather than a flat...

    Does charging warm up the cabin interior overnight?

    i feel like it's getting worse. the interior temperature the other day said 89 degrees!! i opened the door and it was HOT and muggy in the cabin so i decided to check the temp via the app. the garage temp was 73 degrees per the IC display. outside temp was mid 60's. this morning, i went...

    P100DL with the lot price reduced (for new) $25k in 18 months?

    why not find someone to takeover the lease? fully loaded Performance is still coming out to over $2,000/mo on lease, so if you offer yours for less, you can get rid of it that way.

    Tesla: Give everyone 1000kwh per year at SC to offset Vampire Drain

    i'm glad i'm not the only one. i have changed the settings to whatever reduces the time the car is awake, but i lose the same 10-12 mi a day. when we go on trips and the X is plugged in at home, every night i get a message at midnight that it's recharging because it's lost enough to start...

    How many of you have done this?

    omg :eek: i can relate to kids being the HUGE distraction in cars. forget about cell phones, eating food, etc. kids are way more distracting! and if you are behind schedule and in a hurry, look out :rolleyes: but no, i've never done that and i find it strange that people can so easily tune...

    Car always sleeping!

    i wish mine would sleep more when not in use. we took a trip and left it plugged in at home. every day i got notifications that it was recharging at night. it lost 10-12 mi of range each night which seems like a lot. so in the course of one week i had to recharge maybe 80-90 of range even...

    Disappointing delivery & condition, returned my X--thoughts?

    i had a lot of the same alignment issues. took a bunch of SC visits to get right, but now it's much much better. this rear applique piece behind the FWD still bugs me. they replaced it and it looked the same afterwards. i think the way the frame is built it's just not level with the FWD...

    Tesla Service Center coming to Carlsbad

    my car is there now. pretty nice office and waiting area. very quiet business park area and not a ton of customers yet. no tesla loaners AFAIK, but they have enterprise rep there with other brand loaners.

    Took delivery today -- good, but not perfect (silver metallic pics inside)

    congrats! LOVE the silver metallic. ever since they discontinued silver, all i keep noticing is how many white and black X's there are on the road. enjoy having a "special" color!

    Delivery Notes

    congrats! 9 miles - awesome! you'll get used to the range - for most people it's nowhere near 1:1 based on a bunch of factors. i pretty much have to discount my range by 20-30% as a general rule of thumb based on how i drive :D

    Crazy rattling torture in my left ear!

    22" bent rim repair?

    AutoSteer Techniques?

    i rarely use AP since i don't do a ton of highway driving, but when i do, i still get nags even when my hands are at 10 & 2 on the wheel (or 4 and 8). i guess i don't death grip the wheel enough for it to notice o_O so the scroll wheel method is an ok alternative to prove your hands are still...

    My incredibly detailed CPO buying experience

    i traded in a 2014 S60 when we picked up the 2016 P90D. i had about 13-14k equity in the car. the said they will mail me a check for the difference over the payoff to the bank. i went back to my emails from over two years ago: 19 days from trade in for Tesla to simply pay off the loan at my...

    Build Quality

    i have noticed that alignment and trim shift over time. so i don't bother anymore. i made 2 SC visits to fix the stuff that was really off and wonky. but now the panel gap between my driver door and driver FWD is getting wider and is now much larger than the passenger side. almost like every...

    AutoSteer Techniques?

    if you use the scroll wheel on the steering wheel, that gets rid of the warning too. i'm not big on nudging the wheel either, it feels very forced. so i just scroll the wheel up/down and the nag goes away.

    Does charging warm up the cabin interior overnight?

    ok here's the result of the "test". came back at 7pm last night, cabin AC was set at 68 for the drive home. parked in garage, left it unplugged. range showed 127 miles. this morning, garage temp was 69 degrees. looks like i only lost 1 mi of range while unplugged for 12 hours, even though i...

    Does charging warm up the cabin interior overnight?

    thanks for the replies. preconditioning is off, i never use that. i opened the FWD for 2 minutes to load something this morning and noticed that it was quite warm inside, which has been the norm the last few weeks. it might have always been like that, but with warmer summer weather i thought...

    Does charging warm up the cabin interior overnight?

    hi folks. just curious about something. the inside cabin gets very warm overnight, like in the 80's. i am wondering why it's not cooler when i get into the car in the AM. our Model S was not like this and felt cold when getting in the car in the AM, similar to our mercedes (all parked in...

    Tesla no longer sells CPO, they sell "used cars"

    my guess is that your experience will vary from SC to SC. some advisors will probably goodwill it for you. and seriously, if it's a used car with 3 years/30,000 miles, why wouldn't squeaks and rattles be included from the original warranty up to 50k/4yrs. that's just wrong.
