    got email describing VPP payout today

    the email says they've mailed the check and not much else other than the amount - for me it's about $72. this is a little less than double the amount that i calculated with the spreadsheet that @Redhill_qik posted. i guess i must have screwed up my data input, so it's a pleasant surprise.

    weird TPMS behavior

    just got a "pull over now" emergency notification on my M3P; service menu said right rear tire was at 13lbs. checking with a tire gauge revealed 42lbs after filling a little bit of air into the tire. subsequently after getting going again the car gave a normal pressure reading for that tire...

    specific flow of lease return process, anyone?

    i have a leased M3 which is due back in mid-december. i actually extended the lease 6 months, but it's looking like i'll have my new car (not a tesla) a few days before the original lease expiration date. at this point, in order to avoid re-registering the car, it probably makes sense to try to...

    arcing/electricall sound when powerwall takes over?

    is it normal to hear a loud arcing noise when a powerwall2 takes over the home load? last night i was awakened by a loud electrical/arcing sound. i thought it might have been one of the springs on my garage door breaking and unspooling (horizontal springs for rolling garage door - this has...

    M3 lease ending mid-late december / want to lease model Y

    Hi everyone, sorry if this is a FAQ but i didn't see anything or my search-fu is weak. i have a 2019 M3P for which the lease will end in late december 2022. we wanted to get a MYP to replace this car. i called tesla to ask if there is any way to link a new lease with an old lease and the answer...

    PSA: norcal - powerwall PTO triggered switch to EBCE (CCA)

    i had previously opted out of the transition to EBCE back when it happened. not because i am against CCAs but at the time i was trying to get powerwalls installed and i didn't want the added complexity of the billing or the transition to effect PGE's PTO process for the powerwalls. everyone here...

    lease return experiences? (curb rash)

    later this year i need to return my M3 stealth performance. almost every M3 i see with the standard wheels has a good deal of curb rash, including mine. this will be the first tesla lease return for me. i understand from reading these forums that they don't do any pre-inspection, but rather...

    are the PG&E black and white bills still a thing?

    per some old threads (2018), when you get PTO for a powerwall PGE apparently moves you to a differently named NEM plan which then necessitates this old-style "black and white bill" billing. since all solar customers used to receive this type of bill, but at some point in the past were rolled...

    received EV -> EV2 transition letter [Discussion: CA Rate plans and PV or PV+Storage]

    this is something i was not expecting; i thought PGE would just switch my rate without warning. i received a letter the other day which looks like a mass mailing to EV customers saying that sometime starting in June i'd be transitioned from EV to EV2. a good deal of the letter is devoted to...

    Punished by Autosteer for no reason!

    took a trip to LA in the M3 and had a good time charging at the massive new SC at Firebaugh... on the trip home the autosteer kept complaining that my hands were not on the wheel... they absolutely were - it seems to want way more steering input than is necessary to detect hands on the wheel...

    powerwall acting a little weird - only charging to 91% in advanced mode

    anyone seen this? last night i tried to lower my reserve percentage (in advanced time-based mode) to let the PW run the AC for a while during peak. i don't know if this caused the problem but just now i found the PW idle but only charged to 91%, even though I'm 30 minutes from peak time...

    question re: permitting home stretch

    Hi all, my project has taken forever and a day due to redesigns, MPU and covid, but i'm in the home stretch. as of yesterday, both the fire inspection and the city building inspection have passed and tesla says they are in the process of "registering" my PWs with PGE. maybe this can't be done...

    question for anyone who is on PGE's EV2

    can someone who is on PG&E's schedule EV2 tell me what their "Current Rate" field of their electric service "Service Details" says on pge.com? i am on EV (for now) and my page gives "HEVAN" as the current rate. i'm trying to stay on top of when they might switch me to another rate due to the...

    ITC eligibility - install date vs. purchase date

    this seems like it would be a FAQ but i didn't find anything searching the forum. apologies in advance for bad-google fu. anybody know what date the IRS uses for ITC eligibility? i put a deposit down on 2x powerwalls in november 2019. the powerwalls were not installed until november 2020. it...

    Bay Area powerwall installs delayed again?

    my long-delayed powerwall installation (april) was delayed due to the shelter-in-place. at some point in the last month or so i checked my tesla account to find that they had scheduled july 7/8th for the main panel upgrade and install. they never communicated this to me but it was at least in my...

    bug in scheduled charging (across several versions)

    i happen to be on 2020.20.12 but this problem was at least present in the prior version as well. for some solar debugging experiments i had to set my 2019 M3 to start charging around sunrise. after that was all finished, i turned off the schedule in the car UI. prior to that i had no schedule...

    tesla insurance website broken...

    anyone know what's up with tesla's insurance website? from my tesla account, if i click on the link under insurance, i'm sent to teslainsuranceservices.com, which is 404 even at the root. my CC was stolen and i received a new number yesterday. as luck would have it, tesla tried to charge my...

    is tesla energy still installing in norcal?

    i can imagine that these guys have "essential work" exemptions from the shelter-in-place going on, since some part of their operations are electrical repair. as a reference, sunpower stopped sending techs out for a couple weeks but the other day they decided to resume. anyway i have contacted...

    powerwall control during internet outage?

    one more pre-installation question from me: presumably since the powerwall control is all cloud-based, what happens during a power outage if your internet goes down? is there a way to connect to the powerwall on your local network? does the gateway itself have a web server? at least for me...

    powerwall installation checklist? (existing solar)

    has anyone put together a good checklist for tesla energy PW2 installations (with existing solar)? i have an install scheduled in 3 weeks. i expect that they are going to test everything that needs to be tested, however, i know that once these guys leave my property i'm probably never going to...

    applying for CA HOV stickers with temp plates

    in reply to an earlier question i had about license plates, it was stated that you can apply for the CA HOV stickers with your temporary plate number. the state either holds onto it until you get your real plate # allocated or just goes ahead and issues the stickers - not sure. however, i was...

    the "rear camera doesn't work" problem

    today when i powered up and tried to leave the garage, the backup camera did not work. subsequently i realized that none of the cameras must be working, since the machine vision stuff was completely offline. furthermore the GPS was not working and my map position was not updating. not...

    that Creep can Roll (and Hold) - wishlist item

    something that occurred to me the other day: i prefer to use hold as it most closely emulates the one-pedal driving of the Bolt that i am used to. however, for pulling into the garage (a tight space) it's easier for me to use creep mode with my foot on the brake. the Bolt has a traditional...

    car damaged @ delivery center ... what to do

    i got a call 2 days ago that my P3D- would be available to pick up today @ fremont, 13 december. on 12 december the delivery center called and said they noticed 'a dent' in the car and would need another day to repair the car; delivery was re-scheduled for 14 december. got a call today saying...

    true M3 delivery lead times?

    although tesla is claiming 2-4 week deliveries for new M3 orders in california, there are many posts here from people who ordered in october who still don't even have a VIN. what's the prevailing wisdom? tesla's claim of 2-4 weeks seems like bunk to me. anyone know the current average delivery...

    tesla lease in CA - does the car come with permanent license plates?

    i'm trying to finesse order timing so that i'm not paying two leases for too much time. bolt going bye-bye and our next car will be an M3. in the past, in order to apply for CA HOV stickers, i've needed to have the license plate # in order to make the application. for anyone that leased an M3...

    powerwall install, NEM2 vs NEM1 & rate EV

    Hi all, tesla energy has sent me the paperwork to apply for the interconnection of my powerwalls ahead of installation next month. before signing, i wanted to check the wisdom of the group one last time - from reading threads here, it seems that PGE will grandfather rate EV customers for 5...

    what happens when a powerwall2 fails?

    as i understand it, the way a powerwall2 keeps your solar online during a grid failure is that as far as the inverter is concerned, your powerwall is the grid. so what happens if a powerwall2 fails even when the grid is up? do you lose power, or does the PW2 have some way of bypassing itself if...

    is there a FAQ here regarding tesla battery technology?

    Hi, I am a leaf owner that reserved a model 3. is there a FAQ here about tesla battery technology? are people keeping track of degradation in model S batteries? hard to search for "FAQ" as the board software deems the search term too short. i just want to get up to speed on the tesla side of...
