    Do Tesla Powerwalls Discharge in Parallel or One at a Time?

    I have three Powerwall 2s. Each one can supply 5kW, and the three in parallel can provide 15kW. Obviously if I'm drawing more than 5kW, at least two Powerwalls will be supplying power. But if I'm using 3kW, does one Powerwall supply 3kW while the other two are idle, or does each Powerwall...

    Powerwall/System Misbehaving Today

    My plan is set to Time-Based Control, with peak rates starting at 3PM. I have my Powerwalls set for 60% Backup / 40% Time-Based. For the 8 months I've had the system, it's basically worked as expected. Powerwalls start charging up when the sun rises, generally they reach 100% by noon or so...

    Hansshow 10.25 Inch Screen (with front camera) for Tesla Model Y or Tesla Model 3

    Less than 1 year old, used for about 8 months but perfect condition. It's listed here on ebay for $100 (there's been no bidding as I type this). No shipping fee if you're willing to pick it up in Monterey, CA. Cheers, Fred

    Tip/Warning if you have more than one Powerwall

    Just had a Solar + 3 Powerwall system installed. Have been running off-grid while waiting for PTO. App shows 3 Powerwalls with a state of charge somewhere between 0% and 100%. Walls charge up to 100% during the day; house runs off Powerwalls when there’s no solar production. After a week...

    Ridiculously simple question about multi-powerwall installs

    Just had a 12kW/3PW system installed that overall I'm happy about (a lot happier than I was with the Tesla install at my previous house). But I was doing some basic system testing, which included running the house on each Powerwall by itself. House ran fine when only #2 PW was on, and when...

    Hansshow Model Y Power Frunk V4.2 (maybe 4.3?) - does anyone know how to program it?

    You're supposed to be able to adjust height, speed, and I don't know what else. But the abysmal "documentation" is pretty close to useless. I don't see any buttons or controls. Half of the troubleshooting steps end up saying "contact the engineer to update the software." Is it opening too...

    (Un)Pairing Phones to Powerwalls

    Background: Sold my house that had some solar + 1 Powerwall a year ago, just had solar + 3 Powerwalls installed on my new house. Things have changed app & control-wise for the better. I love having the system dynamically change the charging rate to the car so I can charge with excess solar...

    Solar + Powerwall: Lights have started flickering when off-grid

    Had a 12kW Solar/3 Powerwall/2x SolarEdge Inverter system installed 2 weeks ago. Haven't received PTO, but 1 week ago I discovered that, even as overcast as it's been here, I'm making and storing enough power to go off-grid 24/7. So we've been PG&E-free for a week. Everything's been working...

    Audible/feelable "thump" when going uphill around 40MPH

    When going uphill around 40MPH, our Dec 2020 Model Y will make a thump that you can hear and feel if your feet are on the floorboards. Steering seems tight, and it feels like it is coming from under the floorboard slightly in front of the front seats (which I think would be the battery). It...

    Does Tesla ever install solar + powerwall systems using Line Side Tap? (In California with PG&E)

    Seems like it would be an easier way to go in many cases, potentially eliminating the need for panel upgrades, 120% rule, etc. I've seen it mentioned a few times in this forum but I can't find a clear answer to this yes or no question.

    Help with Hood Adjustment after installing installing Hansshow Power Frunk V4.1

    Just installed the 4.2 frunk kit in my 2018 Model 3. Everything's working, but when the frunk is closed the driver's side of the frunk is pulled down significantly (3.5mm) lower than the top of the quarter panel. I've tried adjusting the mounts to compensate for it, but it hasn't helped. Even...

    Questions about recent solar installs

    I got a 4kW Solar / 1 Powerwall system installed in my old house in 2018. SolarEdge inverter and optimizers, generic panels. I was overall pretty disappointed - 2 days after the install a fault in the gateway made me lose all power (PG&E and/or solar/battery) to my house, and I spent 2 hours...

    Phone App: How/Why does "Unlock" work immediately but car still takes forever to wake up?

    Forgive me if this has been covered before. Sometimes when I want to do something from the app, I get "Waking Up" for as long as a minute (or longer). But if I press "unlock" the car unlocks immediately - clearly the phone and at least some significant part of the car is communicating. But...

    California NEM rules changing to allow energy storage arbitrage

    CleanTechnica reports: The early February breakthrough in California energy storage rules under Net Energy Metering will still take time to be codified, but the great news is that energy from storage can be sold to utilities as long as the storage equipment meets a new Underwriters Laboratory...

    Is this what Storm Watch looks like for everyone?

    The yellow triangle with the "!" makes me think somethings not right...right? It certainly isn't working for me - we've had severe weather alerts (and 5 power outages on Feb 2 alone), but I never saw it charging from the grid.

    Powerwall: "You will not even notice that the power went out."

    Tesla makes this claim at the end of the answer to the second question here. Has anyone (conscious, and with a visible light on) found this to be true? Hilariously, as I was typing the word "found", our power went out. The TV (that I use as a monitor) clicked and went black, the A/V receiver...

    Why aren’t our Model 3s Supercharging faster?

    Was monitoring my Supercharging today. Started at 120kW as expected. A while later I noticed that it had dropped to 60kW by the time it had 150 miles of range. “That’s normal”, I thought, “Superchargers taper off as the battery gets full.” And I started wishing we would get V3 Superchargers...

    Tesla App Reliability

    How reliable is the Tesla app for you? I find that sometimes responds instantly, and sometimes not at all. For example, right now it's 1:43PM and the app says it was last updated at 8:15AM, and no amount of refreshing, app restarting, etc. will get it connected. It just says "Unavailable" at...

    Tesla Energy FAQ?

    I got a Tesla solar + Powerwall system in September and I'm trying to understand the entire system better, at least down to the different modules - what they do, how they communicate, what controls what, etc... Looking at a few of the posts here, it's clear that many of you know a lot about the...

    New Tesla Solar + Powerwall System: Is what I'm seeing normal?

    I'm in Monterey County, CA with PG&E. Finally got my 3.9kW + one Powerwall system turned on and working two days ago. (Tesla remotely noticed some minor issue with my Powerwall that they are going to fix when the parts come in, but it seems to be working OK in the meantime.) I've set the...

    Track record of anti-Tesla FUD vs reality over the last 15 years?

    Has anyone (in a thread here on TMC or anywhere else) kept a running, semi-detailed timeline of all the anti-Tesla FUD with each item followed by how it was proven utterly wrong? I'm getting so tired of trying to explain to people how things are actually AMAZING at Tesla, when all they are...

    Help understanding TSLA1 (adjusted) options

    I'm trying to figure out how my TSLA1 Jan 2019 $30 (originally standard SCTY $30) options are comparing to equivalent standard TSLA options. I expect the spread to be wider since they'll be less heavily traded, so I wanted an idea of how much wider. Here are my best calculations: Does that...

    How do I delete an abandoned response?

    I wrote a response to a post that I decided not to post. However at the bottom of every page since is that abandoned draft. Probably won't happen, but a little worried I might accidentally hit the Post button. Have deleted all the text, but it comes back on the next page. It also follows me...

    Brokerage offering "Fully Paid Lending Program"

    I just got an email from Fidelity, where I hold a large SCTY position (I'm sure this would apply to TSLA, too), inviting me to participate in their "Fully Paid Lending Program". Apparently I loan some or all (at their discretion) of my shares to them, and I get a monthly interest payment on...

    Audio system features

    I'm trying to decide between the base audio system and the Ultra High Fidelity Sound system. While there are many "is UHFS worth the money?" threads, I didn't find clear answers to many of my questions, so I hope this thread can fill in that gap. What are the differences between the audio...

    Regen FAQ?
