    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Good luck. I just sold my 22 MS and it'll be my last Tesla. The quality was still bad. Loved the car at first and yes bad delivery experience as took hours to get into the car in some church parking lot in Austin due to tech issues. But since then it was fun but I'd say quality was still not...

    Do PWs stay off grid a while on purpose in short outage?

    Thanks! System is new b so getting used to its behaviors but definitely seems to work well.

    Do PWs stay off grid a while on purpose in short outage?

    Our neighbors all said we had about a 2 second outage last night but we had a report of a 9 minute outage before our PWs said the grid was back and reconnected tk use grid energy. Is this normal behavior? In short outages do the PWs wait a while for the grid to me reliably on before switching...

    Potential Storm Watch Issue

    If the grid goes down. They literally in the gateway disconnect physically so I’d say in that scenario they are isolated. Not if precharging for an event though.

    New 30% Solar tax credit

    I think you were not supposed to file until the PRO date year. But either way yes you just have to file an amended return.

    When the ACTUAL cybertruck pricing is released…,

    The F150 has a super functional interior. Something the truck masses love. People don’t want the vents controlled on the screen, a sparse j terror, etc. I’ll say the F150 has a really refined interior over the years based on feedback.

    What was Tesla's estimated price of Cybertruck March 2020?

    None of those prices will hold. He said specs/pricing will both change (not be possible) in investor call.

    Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

    Nah, where we are we pay 9 cents, and they buyback for 5 cents. If you can find a 1 for 1, thats great still. Texas is a net metering voluntary state so companies don't have to do it at all, may go away someday but likely 50% or so seems to be what most are going to. Can't help on the...

    Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

    Yeah, they should charge fine on a sunny day, depending on how much energy your house is using. Our usually fully charge up by around noon even or 1PM at the latest on each side. 1 side is like 11kW of panels and 2 PWs, and the other is like 10kW of panels and 2 PWs, both charge by then and...

    Tesla Solar in Houston & Surrounding Area’s

    I’d say some basic advice from me is: 1) use the cheapest electric provider pricing, or plan that discounts nights if your going to use backup each night. Daytime you’ll use solar or have excess. 2) get at least 2 PWs, if ya have one AC and other electric stuff ya need two for them to turn on...

    Bad off-grid data?

    Having a hard time figuring out these bad estimates and data that show up in an outage or when off grid. 1. When off grid I show solar production which is bad since it’s 10:20pm hehe. 2. On the usage estimate, does that change real time or is it using historical data? E.g. in this pic if I...

    Austin Energy and Powerwalls

    Just Austin, not statewide. 45 minutes west of Austin here in Marble Falls with PEC - and its normal net metering. Austin is a special city in Texas, very Democrat led/liberal in nature, lots more regulations, permits, costs, restrictions, etc. It's a reason that we want that "Texafornia"...

    Does Tesla not sell Gateways with less than 2 powerwalls

    We have a similar system going in next week, 19.2kW and 4 Powerwalls, and seems 2 gateways so whole home is backed up. Question though - It seems that will require sort of a 2 homes view in the app? They said that it will basically be 2 separate systems, each with 2 powerwalls that they try...

    Wait times for Solar?

    Can't wait still, install is on 5/16 Powerwalls (1 day) and 5/17-5/20 Solar (4 days) soon. Been waiting since about October 2021 here.

    2 Powerwall+ vs 1 Powerwall+ and one regular Powerwall

    PW+ also has a limit of 4 powerwalls totally right now. Could get updated in future.

    Using 100% of the solar your panels produce [DC / AC ratio]

    I’d also say in Winter you will produce less and as panels degrade over the years so your ratio of use will improve over time.

    Tesla just canceled my order [on solar panels for a new house being built]

    Ah just wait until u can provide all pics of panel, roofline, AC units, etc. if doing panels. They will do a site visit assessment (or two) as well. We started ours as soon as I could get all those pics done. The electric bill can be an old one or just estimate if ya need.

    2nd Tesla Site Assessment Visit?

    Thanks, yeah it’s def the PWs some. Man I wished the bidirectional stuff was standard already - we are about to take deliver soon if a Hummer, has a good 200kWh pack in it.

    2nd Tesla Site Assessment Visit?

    Quick question, did any of you guys get notices from Tesla after their initial site assessment. We did all the online stuff, had a long initial site assesment where a guy came out, then got design, got install planned for May, but we have a 2nd site assessment tomorrow. I'm assuming this is...

    Value of a new 2022 Tesla Model S LR? Have to sell in month(s) ahead

    Thanks all, when sell in a bit appreciate the inputs. For now, going to drive it probably 500-1000 more miles it seems until Hummer comes.

    Value of a new 2022 Tesla Model S LR? Have to sell in month(s) ahead

    Hi, curious to what fair value is for a 2022 (Jan build) white Tesla Model S Long Range, upgraded 21" wheels, white interior, reg autopilot. Basically babied the car but there is likely a single paint chip on bumper or so from driving normal use. Car has 2000 miles now. Only upgrades are...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Our Jan build 2022 has been great so far white/white/21s, no issues. Actually going to be selling it around August/September I think as going to go ahead and take our 2022/23 Hummer EV1 that is due to be delivered then - confirmed the order recently with GMC and dealer. They are going retain...

    Rear Screen Stays on

    My rear screen is on all the time too when car is on. If you have the rear AC off, then it has a little power icon in back (unless have it locked) for passengers to turn on if want. Doesn't seem to be a bad thing that it is on all the time, but would be cool I guess too if only on when someone...

    Solar developments in short & long term

    I’d say: 1) panel efficiency will go up a bit, but 2) mainly larger cheaper storage in the form of your vehicle providing the equivalent of 8-10+ current powerwalls will be a great next step.

    Wait times for Solar?

    I’m assuming if we signed all the contracts and installment plan (we only put down 50% for now), that they are going to honor that pricing? We have just been waiting on an install day in May 2022 that was schedule 1-2 months ago.

    Wait times for Solar?

    Ours was started/ordered last Aug/Sep and is set for May install so about 8+ months - been a long wait.

    2022/2023 model s refreshed refresh changes?

    Curioius for thoes then with new S, without radar - does your display typically show cars in front of the car in front of you? I.e. big truck in front of you but it shows the car in front of that one? Mine does that with Radar right now - i.e. Elon says it bounces under/back or something in past.

    2022 MS Long Range - What you seeing?

    Oh yeah totally, I know I need to compare with the 21” states range. Nice getting an estimated 377 still I guess over that. With 19s wandering then of over the 405.

    2022 MS Long Range - What you seeing?

    Curious, after a couple thousand miles here on my 2022 long range, I’m still getting 265 at 70% and 377 at 100%. Not that you get that in reality but it’s what the car shows… no degradation yet. What y’all seeing?

    MODEL S REAR REFRESH FEB 2022

    Yeah lets see, haven't seen capacitive vegan leather yet ;-) but perhaps there just could be some pressure sensor in the assembly - will need to be sensitive as the logo area feels awkward to push for sure.

    MODEL S REAR REFRESH FEB 2022

    I call bs on the middle horn since Nov. If you push, there is no give/anything that seems would trigger a horn. Elon is likely talking out his a@@.

    Value thoughts / Interest?

    Hey all, need to sell a 2018 Tesla Model 3 that bought back in December as a temporary car to use until our Long Range S came in. The S came in early so going to move forward selling the 3. Thoughts on value or asking price? Its a 2018 Long Range RWD, has 33765 miles on it, warranty until...

    MODEL S REAR REFRESH FEB 2022

    I have to say, while the lights probably look cooler being more blended/less LED like, I think I like the old design better. The black Tesla bar looks sharp on the new 2021/2022s really. I like it a lot on the white 2022 MS we have, better than this more body colored version coming out...

    Discussion: "Powerwall +"

    Tesla is moving super slow now, no communication, etc. Our project had system design approved last year, and our utility approved the project to install last Nov/Dec (and they charged us their fees). Now here we are with Tesla like 60 days later without a peep of communction, no responses to...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I picked up my long range today, an NF467 VIN in Austin. The pickup did not go totally smooth as after accepting delivery on my app the car did not add to account. So here I am standing in a cold church parking lot alone on hold with Tesla vehicle services since SC doesn’t answer for like 30...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Well, I guess I can get excited now as the delivery center said we are still on for picking up our MSLR day after tomorrow on Thursday. I'll try to also report back with some findings/learnings as I know I enjoyed reading those in the past - good and bad.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Super nice, enjoy! Love the blue too - it was blue or white for me. I'm still surprised that its the back truck floors and parcel cover that are still missing always - those are pieces of the car that should be easy to produce but they must have a messed up supplier right now for sure.

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    This thread can be both. There are a lot of us Long Range customers waiting though so may be the most right now, definitely if you see an older RN like RN1149/RN1150 at this point getting and EDD, its from an old April-May 2021 order that is likely a long range.

    2021+ Model S Refresh - white interior thread

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Nah, it does horrible in rural areas too. Have it on the Model 3 we have right now - horrible, would have killed me every day at this point more than once on a simple rural drive into town and back. Anything beyond basic autopilot lane steering is worthless right now on a Tesla - if standard...
