    Tax Question

    I ordered my Powerwall in September 2023 and it is installed December 2023. Inspection was done in February 2024 and I paid the invoice after that. The Tax Credit says it should be purchased and installed in 2023 for 2023 tax year eligibility. For Tesla the order is not the same, you order it...

    SPAN - Smart Electrical Panel

    I was reading about the other smart circuit breakers. They allow you to trip them but you need to be there in person to set them back. I wonder if there are any that allows you set remotely. My use case is my swim spa. In the case of a grid shutdown, which is common in Sierras, CA, I don't want...

    Falcon doors sensor problem

    When the door thinks there is an obstacle, it refuses to open unless you override with a lot of complaints etc. I'll try again to check with the SC, I hope they don't mess up something else while trying to fix it. I am running out of my extended warranty.

    Falcon doors sensor problem

    2016 Model X. Last summer I noticed that if sun hitting on the falcon door, it thinks there is an obstacle and shows red. It is interesting that it happens to either door as long as there is sun exposure. I had a similar problem when the car was only a year old and it was happening always on the...

    Great lead, I'll check if I can remove the lower trim to see what is going on in there

    2016 Model X console Rear Cupholder removal

    I have an early September 2016 Model X with 6 seats. My golden retriever likes to travel in the middle, when he moves around he pushes the rear cup holders and it opens. Somehow he did something to it, it only opens and closes by hand and does not close all the way. I think something on the back...

    Keyfob Issues with 2016 MX

    I dropped my keyfob from second floor aaand it landed on concrete (murphy's law). It came apart, the bottom cover, battery, left side and its little gullwing door button. Other than the gullwing button, I found all of the pieces and put it together. The key opens the frunk, the trunk and even...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    My problem is slightly different. Since Tesla refused to install Solar Panels due to tree shading (Last year's storm took that problem away), I used a local company to install the panels and I received my PTO in two weeks after installation (Oct 2020). I continued to pursue a powerwall...

    [Cant] Request Service for Powerwall [in the app]

    I already had PTO since I got my solar panels installed before Powerwall. Tesla didn’t like my roof so they refused to install the panels, I went with a local installer. I have been using my Powerwall since May. The local inspection was done at the time. I wonder if I have PTO. My account does...

    [Cant] Request Service for Powerwall [in the app]

    I wanted to change my Solar MicroInverter control frequency to 62.5Hz to fix my UPS issue. I have the latest Telsa App (4.4.4). but I don't have a Request Service option. I resolved my issue by calling the service, but it would be easier if I could just raise the ticket from the app. If I go to...

    Email from Tesla - Powerwall uses 3G Cellular Please connect to Wifi or Ethernet

    :) We do care where I work. Like Tesla we have a lot of educated/engineer customers and they really tell us when we make mistake..

    Connect to Wifi bothers me for the future of my system

    If I had a Gateway 1, a cell booster would not work since 3G cell service would not be available. A solution would be making the priority for Ethernet and Wi-Fi configurable.

    Connect to Wifi bothers me for the future of my system

    Connect to Wi-Fi messages keep coming in for my system that was installed in May 2021. We have a cabin in the North Sierras close to Dodge Ridge area. We don’t live there the full time but spend a reasonable time when possible. Having so many trees around means the power is off sometimes 10 mins...

    Oil leak after service visit

    I have a September 2016 Model X that I want to keep until cybertruck shows up, say another 3 years. Since I want to keep my car for while I decided to upgrade my MCU1 to MCU2. When I created the service appointment, service added “Reseal Area Around Both Front Upper Control Arm Ball Joints”...

    Bring back SGIP discussion [ can I self apply for SGIP - Equity and Resiliency?]

    Most of the discussion about this topics belongs to 2020. I had to get my Solar System installed separately from Tesla (Tesla didn't like shading), Solar was installed in Dec 2020 and my 2 Powerwalls installed in May 2021. I was able to get my Solar installers Developer Key, but I think I need...

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    " home may not be a good candidate for it (roof, main service panels, shading, etc)... but solar-sales-folks will push too hard on the sale" It is not always the case. Tesla Energy solar was the cheapest cost that I was able to find. When they did the shading analysis, they refused to install...

    Question on layout of electrical boxes

    The first box from the left is the load panel. They pulled all of the load cables from my main panel to that panel. The middle one is the gateway, it also has the solar connection and the one on the right is the battery breakers. I think it is too big for just one breaker in it. It also houses...

    Why even have batteries?

    We have the propane tank in the front yard at our cabin which became the main home during the pandemic. Other than the dryer we are all propane and no central AC. We have portable ACs for two rooms but since it is dry in the forest, the swamp cooler is magical. I don’t care about 2 powerwall’s...

    Enphase Solar and Powerwall integration

    The production CTs are in the envoy box, so it is before the solar power goes to gateway. No issues with production information. My solution was to connect to the envoy using the installer app and disable the consumption CTs. I now use the enlighten app for production only to see the individual...

    Enphase Solar and Powerwall integration

    I understand that the production CTs are comparing the consumption CTs on the Enphase side. Possibly I can move the consumption CTs to the cables that goes to Powerwall sub panel and make them act as grid, but the dryer was left out of the pw2 sub panel, so I will still have a issue. My current...

    Enphase Solar and Powerwall integration

    Tesla refused to sell me a PV system due to the trees around my house (after the end of January storms, the trees fell all over the place including on my roof, so not an issue anymore), I had to use Enphase as my PV system. The good part, they installed my system within 3 weeks of ordering. With...

    received EV -> EV2 transition letter [Discussion: CA Rate plans and PV or PV+Storage]

    True, if you are trying to get a ROI, go with a champion 3kW dual fuel inverter generator. Anyone wants mine? :) . It rans out of gas every 6 hours, can't use it at night.

    received EV -> EV2 transition letter [Discussion: CA Rate plans and PV or PV+Storage]

    For me it wasn't even economics, the public safety power shutdowns are the reason. I use 13kw a day, my solar produce 26kw so I should be off the grid for a long time with my 2 PWs. Winter with snow, that is a different discussion, I can hold for a day or two after that the generator needs to...

    Discussion: "Powerwall +"

    They did an installation today at my house. Just installed the equipment, they will do the load transfer tomorrow. It is a PW2. They told me the left-most is my new load center, middle is the GW and the right one is the Battery panel. I have 2 Powerwalls. Only the dryer will not be backed up. No...

    Tire replacement time.

    Yesterday we drove 157 miles to get to our cabin with our new Nokian WR G4’s. Very quiet and amazingly great mileage. We are expecting snow next weekend, I am planning to test them in the snow going up to Dodge Ridge ski resort.

    Tire replacement time.

    The tires have arrived and installed. The next day I was admiring my new tires and noticed that the rear tire had 265 on the tire wall. My first reaction was damn a...holes they ordered all of them 265. Walking around the car, I had 275s on one side and 265s on the other. The rims seem to be in...

    Broken trunk lock hook cover

    The flap that covers the hole which houses the locking mechanism’s hook has been broken. It is spring operated on plastic pins. It is still in the hole and does not block the operation of the trunk. Did you encounter this? I have extended warranty, I wonder if they will cover it or say it is...

    Tire replacement time.

    I received a call from the Discount Tires, they are just ordering my tires. The manager asked if I know these are snow tires. I assured him that they have better traction on snow, but they are not snow tires. I need to make sure they install them correctly, it seems they have not seen them...

    Sold for $6,500. I don’t understand the price if Tesla is selling them for $7,000

    Model X 12 Volt battery exploded

    It is interesting that with so many messages under your belt, you would not recognize a signature serial number. It looks like the original Tesla fans who have waited for their beloved car to arrive and follow the serial number trackers will become an endangered species at one point.

    Is it possible I could find a powerwall 2 for sale?

    I was also looking for Powerwalls. It looks like Petersen Dean went under. There was an auction with 3 Powerwalls, I thought if I could by them for 4K then I would be in good shape. Some one bought them for 6k each. For me it was not a good deal since the new ones are 7k. Possibly it was a good...

    Tire replacement time.

    As the original post owner, it is funny that 3 years past and the thread is still going. Well, now I am at 67K. The COVID-19 pushed us to live in our cabin and we get snow here and there. The last time it snowed, we got around 2 inches (not complaining compared to rest of the country), I was...

    How close was your Tesla Energy quote to actual cost?

    I keep hearing Tesla's Quote would not be what I would be paying since they use a standard cost structure. I was told (by other companies of course) they may look cheaper, but actually they are not. I received the 2 Powerwall quote as below, should I expect a different number in the future?
