You're right, it started making sense to purchase the inherited PPA outright starting a couple years ago but doesn't save me any money, just sense of control that comes with "taking back" my roof. At this point it is a wash whether I purchase now or right before selling the house (which won't...

Doesn't sound like you watched the interview. Actually tells you what he'll live on and describes his level of financial security. Quite an entertaining video overall.

I've a Sunrun PPA that I inherited from the previous owner. Signover was straightforward in 2013. I've been plotting some way to get out of the PPA since. Is there REALLY no way?

2017 75 RWD installing 2020.40.8 now. Was hoping it was going to be FSD! :-(

Yes, finally was able to do the same and it fixed the problem with the trunk opening to 3/4 height.

Just brought home brand new Model X. Still the same end of third quarter (September) 2020.

Why doesn't Tesla "just" redesign the whole heating/cooling system to include octovalve for Model X so it too can get some next level efficiency going?

Have models 3 and Y batteries gotten into S/X yet? Also, would it be out of the realm of possibility that either octovalve or superbottle made it to the S/X by now?

Just referencing an old 80s Mervyn's ad...

Essentially what ARKK is advocating. A lot of synergy's there.

Nice discussion, my reference to Cathie Woods of Ark Invest is to bring up their advocacy for a "beta version" of the Tesla network to be launched right now before L5 autonomy is achieved. They describe a non-autonomous network to compete with Uber and Lyft, isolated to large metro areas in CA...

open, open, open

Time to revive this discussion methinks, with Elon tweeting about it a while back and Cathie Woods evangelizing for it, I'd like to hear member discussion on this subject.

Awe geez! Bureaucracy surely can make distinction between...never mind. Sigh.

On July 30, I spoke with this contractor (who has done 11 of these sites) ...he estimated around early to mid-September.

About a month or two ago there was construction fencing around a large area in the Palmdale Target Parking lot. My bro in law and I were certain it was gonna be the Palmdale supercharger! Wawa, no dice.

All the MDs and other medical professionals commuting to and from Woodland Memorial Hospital, I'm sure. That's the route I used to take from Davis to Woodland myself before I relocated to Socal.

True there are more ideal places close to the E. Main St. exit of I-5. Also think there wouldn't be urban superchargers for a farm-town like Woodland... regular superchargers for long-distance I-5 travelers for sure.

That actually wouldn't be a problem, barely an inconvenience. I've seen a lot worse (check out Valencia SC for example)! Decent spot for superchargers in my personal opinion!

Palmdale Target near the mall.

Sorry to report, after inspection it appears to be a wholly Target, Inc project. Doesn’t look like a Supercharger install. Oh well...

Suspect site at Palmdale Target parking lot. Fenced construction looks aweful lot like Supercharger install. Pictures from bro-in-law coming soon as he will survey the site tomorrow and snap some pics.

Lane markers, surrounding vehicle animation, and autopilot gone with Sentry Mode. Instant fix without having to wait for car to sleep: Park, turn off Sentry Mode. Turn off Autopilot. Reboot center screen console (press and hold both scroll wheels on steering > 3 secs). Check to see autopilot...

Nicely done!

Derp! 19"...I stand corrected.

Got VIN > 2600 today! Hooray! ...White, 20" wheels, autopilot.

Yup, ditto that.

Looks like @gldfld will goto the front of the line. I am also a current owner who reserved 08/02/17. Delivery estimator has me in the "first production group" for Dec 2017 - Feb 2018. Major caveat of uncertain significance...we have two Teslas. I made my first reservation on 03/31/17 and...

My wife was at City Hall last week and overheard engineers discussing the plans for city approval. "Awesome-town", as the city likes to call itself, is getting more awesome!

Yesterday 9/16 at 4:30 pm. Still not on the official map.

Knock on wood!...

Make an effort to request it the day before you are scheduled to pick it up. Just like car wash.

How 'bout impact of the eclipse happening tomorrow? Wanna see pics!

Won't someone post pictures of line at this supercharger? Or did the congestion fail to show?

Please elaborate on what you been by customers, "reneging on the leases".

Yikes! Torn between the guilt of not packing up the kids and taking them to see it in person, and the pleasure of not having to worry about the Superchargers. I'll be able to see it better on 4K TV, pleasure > guilt in this case.

Can you send me his number?

What are the industrial needs of a Gigafactory, in particular, industrial facilities located near a Gigafactory?

We're in the midst of a road-trip with two Teslas spanning Socal to Southern Oregon and back. Noticed heat is a huge factor, where simple tree shade seemed to allow unpaired stall to output more than twice the charge rate as an unpaired stall in the sun. My latest simple head-to-head...

The Gardnerville / Topaz Lake SC is facing a Chevron station owned by the nearby casino. It has the cleanest bathrooms I have ever encountered. Not just for service centers, but hospitals, and homes. My middle daughter offended my wife by saying it smelled, "nicer than our bathroom at home"...

When lightly used SC shows one or two stalls in use for extended periods of time, I've learned that it is because a plug is not or could not be placed back within its holster, or the stall is simply off-line. I witnessed the holster issue at Corning, and was told of the "off-line" issue by...

Thank you, @RE Insider. SCE website states that if you use more than 700 kWh per month (8400 kWh per year), then TOU-D-B is the plan most likely to benefit you. Is it the fact that I have PV that makes their statement wrong?

Arrived today 7/23 around 11:15AM. Only one S plugged into 1A. First time I noticed that the stalls are out of sequence (ie. 1A is not next to 1B). Also, stall 2A's plug is damaged and chipped such that it won't stay in the holster. I will let Tesla know. Here are pictures:

"Tempory Closure" yesterday and today, 7/20-7/21. Fremont was also "Reduced Service". Are these two sites somehow linked? But seriously, had to skip Gustine and as I drove by, saw a Technician's pickup there, with the case of one of the stands removed.

Hi Insider, My household of 7 has two Teslas and a photovoltaic system of 11kW. Last two months of summer we used approximately 1600 kWh and 3000 kWh, respectively. We're with SCE and are on the TOU-D-B Plan. Would I benefit from any changes?

I sure hope it's not just a J1772 upgrade of the current wall plugs shown in the picture (post #248). I'll dry through the multistory parking garage there today. Only concern is it can get quite congested in that structure. There are expansive, vacant, open air parking out by Sears that...

Have you been receiving survey requests? Van Nuys and Burbank agents will verbally inform you that a survey will be emailed to you after the service and that they would appreciate you filling it out. Each time you had your car serviced should trigger a survey request, I think.

Open by the end of July, you think?

This supercharger replacement can't happen fast enough. Had to use it Thursday night (7/13/17) in order to make it back home to Valencia. Arrived at 10 pm and there was a line 5 deep. Started charging about 11 pm, used for 10 minutes to get just enough to make it home 30 miles away. The line...

I wonder who did his hair transplant?
