I had a few hour power outage yesterday where my Powerwalls immediately took over with no interruption. At that time clouds were variable and solar was intermittent. The Powerwalls were slowly being discharged and not knowing when the power would return, I began removing non critical loads from...

Probably not, but ... A few weeks ago my car started complaining about a HV Fuse that needed replacing. Looking over TMC it appears the earlier cars had a battery supported fuse with a 10 year life. There is nothing in the car to determine if the battery is good or bad, just a clock at...

I was poking around in the PW API site_info and honed in on the retailer tag. Mine was listed as CleanPowerSF. I don't live in SF and had to look them up on the internet: https://www.cleanpowersf.org/ So I am guessing Tesla just used this as a default rather than leaving it blank. Anyone else...

For the last several months I have often received a notification from the Tesla mobile app that my car has stopped charging. Its a bit random but usually within the first few minutes of charging. I have a Gen 2 WC and it has been installed for over 6 years. I have had it running at 72 amps and...

The perfect CT storm. :)

Is there a local API for the Solar Roof like there is for the Gateway? I know that the app has a separate panel for the Solar Roof from the GW. I have also used the GW local API but all solar is bundled in the site/solar returns. I have three solar sources (3 invertors) and I wanted to see if...

Today I got an email addressed to "Hi Mohammed" (not my name), to validate my address in my Tesla account because VPP payments would start after the first of the year. Anyone else get this email? Did they use your correct name?

I was having difficulty in understanding where all the elements came from in my annual true-up bill and reached out the both @miimura and @Redhill_qik for some insight. From our discussions a document was created that is copied into this post. This document explains the factors that determine...

Just a quick observation: Today I had an unscheduled power outage just before peak at 3PM. Powerwalls (2) were at 100% and solar was being returned to the grid. There was a quick pause in power (a few none UPS devices restarted and one needed manual restart). Frequency jumped to 60.3 which was...

Today I caught Time Based Control altering a decision in what appears to be a near term solution. In the past I have seen it go down with the ship. If it's analysis for several days indicated a strong pattern it would stick with it. Last night it was hot and we kept part of the AC running most...

Today I wandered over the Solar Roof portion of my app to see how it was performing. I noticed the graph of energy created today but then noticed that the current kW value was 0. This is a solar roof on a Delta Inverter. I have two other solar systems measured by CTs on my PWs along with the...

Yesterday I attended the mass front ball joint lubrication and inspection service at the Rocklin service center. This was for selected Model S/3/X that had not had their ball joints inspected and lubricated from other visits. It was like organized chaos with service people running up and down...

The other day I went to the Hard Rock Hotel in South Lake Tahoe. It was packed with never more than 2 stalls free for more that a few minutes. I arrived with about 30% SoC and got around 50 kW rate as I was paired with another X. After about 20 minutes that X departed and my rate climbed to 110...

I did a screen capture of my solar production at the end of the day and this is what I got. It was also verified within 2% using the value of the three inverters. A few days later I did a screen capture of the same day and got a hugely different value: And if I download the data from the...

The Delta M4 that Tesla supplies only seems to have Bluetooth to talk to their little gateway box you need to plug into a ethernet cable. Delta says the M series can have Wi-Fi and ethernet as an option. I am looking for a way to see what this inverter is doing vs only the aggregated value from...

I don't have too much hope any of this will ever be resolved. A number of years ago Tesla made a change in the UI where if the backup camera was showing (default when you put the car into reverse) any touch of the screen would cause the backup camera to disappear. This is a huge safety issue. I...

I think storm watch just kicked on for El Dorado County. I have it set in the app but its not showing as on. However just a few minutes ago my power flow from the grid just went to 6.7 kW to the PWs and they are charging. Solar is only putting out about 2.5 kW.

I thought I would share my experience with having a solar roof installed on a small building. While not all of my experience will necessary translate to others it may help some of you. And its a way of pseudo documenting the progress. First up you should know that I go out of my way to buy the...

I have put a reservation in for Tesla solar roof to go on a remote building that is about 200 feet away from my main panel and existing powerwalls and other solar inverters. That circuit is currently fed by a 50 amp breaker and has almost no load on it. It's in a barn with a few non used power...

Still in the review process ... Population exposure to pre-emptive de-energization aimed at averting wildfires in Northern California - IOPscience

This one is for the networking Guru's in the house. My PW Gateway is connected via wifi to a Pharos CPE210 as an extender which is hard wired to my ASUS router. I have assigned a fixed IP address in the Pharos and it shows connected with SNR around -80 dDm amd CCQ at 100. I have an ASUS...

Last night my PWs got 1.46 of the firmware. I have been running in Cost Based mode at 50% reserve for months and except for one event last week all seemed to be good. PW will charge to 100% during the day and flip to discharge at peak (3pm). Generally finish peak around 75%. Today the powerflow...

I am fully aware of the need for a Sure Start/Soft Start when the Powerwalls are isolated from the grid and powering my home for starting certain high current devices. My question for this thread is this scenario: My PW's are full and any solar is going to the utility, house being fed from PW...

On another thread I saw someone post that the California superchargers were off line to prevent people clustering for COVID-19. I went into my car and sure enough all the So Cal and LV chargers don't show the occupancy. Not sure if that means they are offline or not. The Nor Cal ones north of...

Is there a way to obtain the SoC history by time for the Powerwalls? I can download the energy flow by time in the app but did not see a way to do the same for the SoC.

When I did my PW design I purposefully excluded backing up my Wall Connector because my regular charging rate (about 18kW) and my capacity (26kWh) would overtax my PWs. So I left it on the grid side panel. Last night my car was scheduled to charge at midnight and needed to be charged from 24%...

It's probably my confusion and I have not read the restrictions yet but I am not sure why we are restricted to only selling back solar power while we produce it. It would seem we should be able to save our solar power in the PW and then play it back anytime during the day we want to just as...

On both of my FWD there is a distinctive sharp clunk or snap when the doors are opening. It happens about 1/2 up and I have confirmed it is in the middle of the two doors vs the main hinge at the top. The SC thought it was some trim objects but I am suspicious as it happens on both doors. They...

Charged to 98% the other day since we were eating lunch at a slow restaurant. This should have resulted in 98% of my 90 kWh hour battery or 88.2 kWh. A few miles down the road I captured a screenshot of the trip and here is what I got: Doing the math: 88.2 kWh - 3.8 kWh = 84.4 kWh...

I am about ready to release EVTO V5 but want to validate it with a few testers first. EVTO is an iOS and Android app for advanced trip planning. You can read about it here. I need up to 4 testers who can spend between 1-2 hours evaluating a few of the features and to answer two simple surveys...

By now many of us have installed the sw that supposedly pre warms the battery while en route to a supercharger to make it more efficient during the early charge cycle. I am trying to ascertain what physical differences to the cars displays take place when this happens? I would love to hear...

Recently I have noticed a rather distinct clunking sound that appears to be coming from the passenger FWD. It's not loud and only appears on uneven roads at lower speeds (ie < 20mph). I opened the door slightly (about 6") and the sound seemed to disappear on multiple tests. It kind of sounds...

Last Friday my key fob worked great. I was on 2019.12.1.1 for a few weeks. Going into the garage with my auto open doors set to on, the fob of course opened the door which I pushed closed. This happened once more and then the car decided not to do it again as usual, or so I thought. Later that...

Does anyone have the location for the rear camera cable joint connection for an AP1 MX? It's not where the MS AP1 cars are. And where exactly is the APE on an AP1 MX? It's not behind the glove box like an AP2 car. If I knew where that was I could perhaps take the output to the display from...

Yesterday I picked up my 2016 MX from the SC after it's second annual. When I got in the car and attempted to drive forward I got the red STOP alert in the center front. It did not show any obstruction indicators on the sides and nothing was in front of the car. The service techs took it back in...

Five iconic national parks equal one epic bucket list adventure. This is how Utah’s Office of Tourism describes their Mighty 5® 10 day itenary of breathtaking national parks and another set of National Monuments and unique state parks too. I used EVTO to follow their 10 day itinerary, along with...

Is there a access to the cars charging log? I am looking for a way to determine how many kWh's I have dumped into the car from home over the last year. I suspect that I would probably have to get one of the logging apps to gather this info but was just wondering if there was any way to get it...

For as long as I have owned the car I would get a rattling/buzzing sound somewhere behind the front seating area. It sounded like a loose wire or some other object vibrating. I took it on bumpy roads with the Tesla SC but we could not duplicate it. It mostly happened on a road near me that had...

Since day one I have complained about a leak at the back corner of my drivers window. When at cruising speeds you can hear air noises and also when you wash the car or are in heavy rain driven from the left rear, water enters the cabin. It's not much and after taking it to Tesla a number of...

Last Friday I had a full day of EV trips running to/from the airport multiple times. At the end of the day I plugged into my HPWC (car set to 72 amps on 100 amp circuit). The car was at 14% when I plugged it in and the charger was set as usual to timed delay charging at 11PM. I have turned off...

Clean Fuel Rebate for electric vehicles

While it's still fresh in my mind I thought I would post my observations of driving our Model X in some winter driving conditions over the last week. Note that I am a fairly new Tesla owner (since March) and we have about 8k miles now on the car (90D - see sig). We live in the foothills of the...

http://jalopnik.com/tesla-branded-mdma-is-out-at-clubs-and-its-dangerously-1786277635 :eek:

I took a little mini road trip yesterday and a bit the day before (about 450 miles). We left home in the Sierra foothills east of Sacramento with 80% SOC in our 90D. It was just the two of us. Weather was warm but not hot so no real AC load. There were some good head and cross winds around...

My 90% has recently descended down to 233 miles from 237 so I thought I would give a 100% charge a try. My car has 2400 miles on it. Last night I came into a supercharger at 8% and thought why not? I had another 75 miles left to burn off so I thought it would be a good time. At first the timer...

I don't think I know how the operate them like the original ones. When I first got the car after the replacements were installed I had a new rattle. I found it was because one of the seats that was down was not really locked. So I push harder on it and I heard a distinct latching sound. Rattle...

I am new to Tesla's and EV's in general. I used to spend a fair amount of time flying propeller aircraft (70's and 80's), mostly in single engine planes. I have a private pilot's license (SEL) with a instrument rating but don't fly anymore. As I have been getting acquainted with my Model X I...

While some of us are getting a few miles under our belt with the Model X I thought I would start a new thread where we could describe some of the minor improvements/additions we would like to see in the Model X. These should be things that are easy to add/fix and not require engineering changes...
