My utility TOU plan is straightforward and displayed in my solar app. So I can schedule the times based on that and I should be covered. I’m in CA so rates are high. I used to be on a tier system at 32c and 42c for tier 1 and 2. Now my off peak on TOU is 21c, and peak is ~52c. Nice to know i...

So you use this product while driving or only while parked?

Slightly related topic. Does everywhere here as G3 wall connectors to your Tesla app? I haven’t yet, and I see I can still do schedule charging and departure as is. Not sure what else I’d really look to do with it.

Electrician: “It has narrow tabs that I missed landing correctly.” 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the review. I’ve been considering a variety of options for summer as during todays nice spring day, 75F, my car is parked in partial shade and is still 110 F inside. I do have a windshield shade in place, but otherwise car is stock.

Charger is working. They came by Saturday and I will wait till Monday to ask what the deal was. They didn’t send me photos of the terminals but I think they took the readings, so I can hopefully find out then.

I’ll think about this one…. But leaning no.

I was not present. For convenience (Lol) this was installed as part of a larger solar project. My point being the contractors were at the house for 4-5 days. I should have specified that I want to be present during the wall connector install and do a test charge. But I didn’t, and they...

Thank you. That’s what I figured. Contractor said they’ve done many of these installs and this one they aren’t sure what the issue. Possibly the unit but not sure as of now. Tesla support wants these three items to troubleshoot. Electrician will come back and get them (which I asked them to do...

Correct. I’m telling you, in smallish remote towns contractors have their choice of jobs and it shows. Compared to a city I grew up in (100k population) it’s vastly different. I specifically asked to meet them this time, to do a test charge, but didn’t.

Does anyone recall if the green LED lights on front of the unit glow as soon as the unit has power? Mine are not glowing right now, but again I haven’t connected it to my app yet. Not sure if that matters though. I did try to just plug it in to the car and same result as before.

Well the installer came back but didn’t notify me of his arrival. He told my wife afterwards that there was a bad breaker. I came home after work and have the same experience as before. I live in a fairly remote town so the installer choices are limited. Frustrated right now.

Yes it is. I checked that during the commissioning steps, Tesla has that spelled out before you hold down the button to connect to the wall connector network. Screenshot via https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/wall-connector/troubleshooting

Installer will be coming back tomorrow. I will share what I learn after that visit.

Thank you KP. This is a lesson learned. The location I chose is also iffy for wifi, it should work but that may cause some future headaches. Why do you have the 15-min charge test? Does something get checked or tripped after that duration of time?

Hi all I recently had a wall connector gen 3 installed as part of a larger project (solar install). My wall connector does not glow green and it will not charge the car. When I tried to connect it to the app , I got to the step where you hold the button to cause the green lights to turn on...

yes and what do those returns do in terms of your real purchasing power?

I’m not talking about investing, I’m talking about saving. Investing is taking risks for upside or gains. Savings should be retaining value. Many now invest merely to keep the same purchasing power in the long run. Savings hardly exists because of continued monetary debasement, you actually...

Oops, Daniel in SD posted the graph. Cheaper commodities is a good thing to me. But the main thing, is to not have purchasing power essentially stolen from USD holders via continued debasement.

Yes, so those folks got a debased currency and others got increased asset prices due to M2 increase (inflation). Those are not the same. Your graph to me is less informative as it’sa ratio, and it still shows a 2x anyway.

Why is it gone now?

Regarding inequality and M2:

How long was the US on the gold standard and did that period lead to economic ruin? I think the opposite. It seems that inequality in the US has grown right along with the growth in M2 supply. Is that compatible with your statement? I truly don’t understand these types of posts. I’ve been...

I would do the same thing. One of the reasons I enjoy the Tesla is the simple interior design. I enjoy being inside the car. The change to basic visualization (or whatever the name is) really changes that enjoyment.

Same boat. My trial just ended and wow it’s bad. Can we make the screen map only, or are you forced to keep the essentially useless car visual in place?

Yes, that is what I’m doing. I accelerate the car to a given speed, say 70 mph. Then I pass a truck speed sign that says 55, and the car auto adjusts down. Then I sped back up, reset the value, and repeat this process with each sign I pass. Or did I misunderstand the method you are describing?

I would love to have basic CC back. In CA we have slower speeds for trucks on highways, and the car always adjusts down upon passing those signs. It’sa frequent annoyance and I haven’t found a way to mitigate it as of yet.

The Analyst from Bloomberg says: “And I get that the coverage is relentless and prob annopying to some, but these numbers are absurd, highly rare stuff here.. it would be like asking a scientist not to get obsessed with Haley's Comet or something”.

Bitcoin ETF activity seems to be much more than “meh”.

I have not heard of this before. A couple questions: Do you have any suspension changes? What did you do with the wheels? Put them back on? Did the service center say your brake performance or function was impacted? I’m assuming these are the 700kg load wheels as they are from a 2018 M3. I’m...

I submitted CA and FED taxes last night and both were accepted. I might be moving to Free Tax USA next year. How do they make money?

That’s cool. Have the interior ambient lighting?

I would think they are the 700 kg version as poster mentioned it was a 2018 M3.

Turbo tax said my forms are ready now. FYI

I’ve been wondering about the new Photon 18” wheels from the new M3. Those may fit based on the Aero experience, though the recent poster’s brake comments is new information.

Good question, and the 700/750 question as well.

Hi. I prefer the look of the new 2024 wheel covers, but have the older wheel design which looks slightly different. Does anyone know if the new covers will fit on the wheels from 2023 and earlier M3 vehicles?

Good news. All in all, waiting till 2024 might have led to a lower price on the MY and a simpler tax credit process. Live and learn.

Turbo tax is still saying the forms are not ready yet and I can’t submit. Has anyone else submitted via TT?

My state doesn’t have the tax credit, but I wish I ordered a hitch, and my kids wish I got a different color. But midnight silver is no longer available so it’s gonna get more cool with time. Would be interesting to see about this, but how did you get the quote on your trade in? You have to...

Thanks for the input. After browsing other threads, I am leaning towards getting the Chuck Bucket. https://chuckrack.com/products/chuck-bucket-2-0-w-standard-base-post-pre-order-sale

If we have the form visible on the Tesla app, does that mean the IRS has also received it?

Tire rack specs will show the wheel width range for a given tire size. For 235/55/18 I typically see 6.5-8.5”.

I will log in tonight and try again. TT made it seem as if it was on the Fed’s side. I did enter my vin and related info into the TT program, so I assumed it was all good till I received that message in the review stage.

It may hold it up for 2024, not sure how to gauge that.

I tried to file federal taxes tonight with Turbo Tax and received notice that I need to wait for Feb 21. This is for a MYLR bought in Dec 2023.

BTC is already used daily, all over the world. By people who apparently value it more than you do, which is fine. We don't all value things the same, as my purse example tried to illustrate. To say that BTC has 0 value when the market has obviously proven otherwise, over a decade plus of time...

This is a great post, though I disagree with the last aspect. You know what has ZERO value to me and nobody "needs"? Designer purses. That's my opinion. However, my one humble opinion does not reflect the market as a whole. Obviously designer purses have value no matter how much I think they...

So you can stay in denial forever, as you have no real criteria to change your mind. People all over the world use it for goods and services today. That's a simple fact.
