Your picture did not seem to come through. For the Time Based Control - I think ideally I want to charge the powerwall any time there is excess solar over my house consumption. I would then like to power the house any time there isn't enough solar till about midnight then shut off. I would...

I have my reserve set to 5% on my app. But when I look at the powerwall from its IP address in my network - it charges down to 10%. Either way we seem to use a lot of electricity. We have a 5000 sq foot house - two hybrid head pump water heaters, fish tanks, computer server that runs 24/7...

Just had my powerwalls installed two weeks ago. I am still trying to find the sweet spot to maximize savings by time of use and still minimize my NBCs. Right now I am running on self powered mode. This seems like a good option for me because the powerwall charges from any excess solar...

Is this app still working? I just installed - however I am not able to login.

Found another thread that covers NBCs (non-bypassable charges). Self powered might be my best option going forward. Then move all my usage to the day time when I am generating power? Has anyone done the math? When you hope to generate the same or more than you consume in a year. Is there a...

Update to my first posting. I super appreciate all the feedback so far. Going to cover two different issues in this post: First: In Jan/Feb I added a 2nd string of solar and 2 Tesla Powerwalls. Imagine my horror when I get my first bill and my monthly rates go from $1-2 per month to $56 in...

For SCE Customers: New plans become available April 30 . Time-Of-Use Residential Rate Plans TOU-D-Prime - need to have an EV or Electric Storage. .49 4-9pm .13 9pm-4pm. Weekend .27 4-9pm, .13 9pm-4pm. This seems pretty good but there is a .40 Daily Charge. My current grandfather plan - SCE...

Question - I just had two powerwalls installed. They set it up where pretty much my whole home is backed up. The only items outside the backup are EV charging circuits (which I use at night) and one of my two solar systems. I have two solar systems - one 11.6kw and one 13.2kw. Tesla put...

Check out Energy Federal Credit Union. Dealt with Malena. They have a 1% discount for energy efficient cars and offer terms up to 96 months. I got 1.31% for 96 months. I don't plan to take that long to pay it off - but the money is so cheap - why not! If I had a score 780 or higher I could...

Yeah - everyone's points are completely valid. That is why my original post was "wouldn't it be cool if...." For sure there are design challenges, practicality issues, cost concerns - but I don't think it is impossible. Technically I don't think it would be much more than adding some...

I am not trying to justify its use. I drive to vegas 7-8 times a year. Normally non stop or a quick stop in Baker. Either way I have read many stories of drives showing up in Barstow to find all the spots taken adding 30 minutes before you can even plug in. I am sure it is not going to get...

Just seems like if they made it modular and self substantiating in terms of cooling. Then all you need is a wire / connection to add on to the existing power pack. I agree one box of batteries to set in there would be way too heavy. But what if it was 5 -6 pieces that fit / slid into a...

I am still waiting. Late September delivery. But I can't get the Model S out of my head. Can't find enough content online to fill thirst for stories and information. I will have the parcel shelf - as it is standard now. I just thought that space would be an ideal spot for an upgrade...

In the trunk of the Model S there is a storage compartment where the optional 3rd row seats stow away. Wouldn't it be cool if there was an option to have that compartment converted to a 2nd battery location? Maybe a modular battery back - since lifting up and placing a battery pack that size...

In retrospect - I think the tesla team is very accustomed to customers changing orders. However if the customer gives any hint of it "being ok if it can't be done" they probably come back with a response of no. I had read from another post in this forum about ordering the 3rd row seats -...

Well some good news to report - my change order went through. They said it "went up to the top" - so maybe that means Elon had to sign off on it. (Kidding) Either way my change was made and my delivery data remains the same. I did find it strange that my "reason for changing" seemed to...

So I ordered Tesla Model S back on 7/23. I debated long and hard about my options and choices. One of the options I decided NOT to get was the Panoramic Roof. I was pretty set on all my choices then after reading thousands of posts here and on the Tesla Forums - I decided that pretty...

I was in the same boat as you. All I knew was that I wanted a white car. I went back to the Tesla showroom and got a good look at the Pearl White then really compared the interiors. I prefer a light color interior and had my mind set on gray. However after going back - here is what I...

Ordered Model S P85 - delivery is in September. Had an electrician come over today and he is working up a quote - seems to be making it really complicated...but we will see when I get the official quote. Since I am going to get one Nema 14-50 installed - should I just go ahead and get two...

Ahh all good stuff. Glad to see I was not the only one agonizing over the choices. I almost feel this might be an area where Tesla could be losing customers. I was in Hong Kong wanting to buy custom fitted suits. I went into a shop and was overwhelmed with all the decisions. I said I wanted...

I am not going to argue against this approach. Maybe I am just trying to justify in my mind that getting higher end will protect the investment. When I compare other high end vehicles to their counterparts - I think it is safe to assume you will get back the extra cost. My M3 for sure...

Ok - went back to the Brea, CA store and made the decisions. How many hours can I go before changing my mind! I put the deposit down - so now it feels more locked in....but I know I can still modify my choices.... Here is what I went with - and my reasoning... Pearl White - (they had a Pearl...

OK - kinda of turning the topic a bit from options to purchase thoughts...... I think if I do this - it is going to be a sticker price of 120K - 110K after my tax incentives. What do people think about the resale value? I had a 2006 BMW 750LI fully loaded - that car new was 100K. I see that...

I live in southern California - so the cold weather package is not needed. I don't think the Dual charger is needed for me. I don't have a long commute - in fact I work from home. So the car would be used for driving the kids to school, running errands and whatever social driving / local...

I am sure this has all been covered somewhere here in some fashion or another. I apologize if this is another one of those "what do I buy threads" - But I am new and potentially about to spend 120K on something I for sure don't NEED but on something I WANT. I live in Southern California - I...
