Tesla must be monitoring this forum. For the first time in 4 days they returned my call 20 minutes after I posted this. Still not sure when I get my car back. No loaners. I can get Uber credit but I am supposed to go on a camping trip next week and this is my only car.

The main number we have been trying to call is 773-7650876. This is the one with the voice mail that leads to nowhere.

I turned in my Model x for a minor service on Monday. For the last four days at 5pm we get a message saying that they need one more day to complete the service. We tried calling all numbers we have but have not succeeded at reaching a human being in the last four days. The only thing we get is...

I am still impatiently waiting on my Powerwalls in Chicago. It is nearly three years now. Does anyone have any information on Powerwall installs in the Chicago area?

One week??? I have put down my deposit three years ago and I am still waiting. Welcome to purchasing Tesla energy products. I give it a few more years before canceling.

I just got off the phone with Tesla Energy. This is the fifth person I spoke to this month. The last four have promised to absolutely call me back that afternoon, maybe tomorrow morning at the latest to give me an update on my Chicago powerwall order I places two years ago and nobody ever calls...

There is no Federal tax credit when you buy powerwalls as an add on to an existing solar installation. Is that really the only reason why they disabled that feature? That is a huge shame.

I am hoping to have my site survey done soon. What is not clear to me at the moment is whether I can charge the battery from both the Grid and excess solar? I have a small solar panel that does not have enough overcapacity to fully charge the powerwall. Can I top it up at night from the grid...

How did you get Tesla to sell you this? I put a deposit down for two power walls in Chicago nearly three years ago and I can’t even get Tesla to return a phone call.

I see many articles mentioning that the long-awaited interior upgrade is going to happen for the Model S in September. I don't see the model X being mentioned anywhere. Can we just assume they mean model X as well?

What is the 30% tax rebate you mentioned? My understanding is that the federal tax rebate only applies when you install the power walls at the same time as the solar panels. If you do it as two separate projects then the tax credit does not apply. If that is not the case the. I would love to...

I ordered mine November 2016. Still waiting. But that is in Illinois.

That is great to hear. Then the next question is what is going to happen given that I have a Power One inverter that is not on the list of the supported inverters. Has anyone been in that situation already? Paul

I know that is what Musk said three years ago when he launched it and that is what the page said but in practice is this actually happening? When speaking with Tesla representatives they can't get of the phone quickly enough as soon as they hear that you want to add the powerwall you have on...

I have been impatiently waiting for my powerwalls I ordered over 2 years ago. Every so often a Tesla representative contacts me but as soon as they find out that I already have Solar panels they say that they will get back to me but then never call back. When I try to call Tesla I am always...

I got a Model 3 sales call a few weeks back and they said that I could get a powerwall in Illinois if I ordered Tesla solar panels as well. I mentioned that already have solar panels. He then said that he did not think he could sell me a powerwall but an Energy expert would call me back. Similar...

Same in Chicago. Tesla is not returning phone calls when it is about PowerWalls. One local company gave me a verbal quote at double the list price for an install four months in the future. I wanted to get Tesla's view on this deal but it is impossible to get anyone to return a call.

After many years on the waiting list I finally found a company willing to sell me two Powerwalls. The provisional quote is $26,000. This is a lot more than the $6,500 per power wall that was promised by Musk. Is this really what everyone has been paying? My install is fairly simple. I need one...

That is great to hear. I have been trying to buy Powerwall v1 and v2 for over thee years now without any luck.

Is this Powerwall not being charged from the grid a California restriction or are none of them capable of doing this? I always had assumed that they would be able to charge from either the grid or solar.

Occasionally I am thinking about upgrading my 2016 90D Model X to a new 100D. When I requested an estimate for the trade in value six months ago I was quite surprised that Tesla is only willing to offer 66K for the car. Bluebook even today has the car at 76K and that is before I add options...

This federal tax credit only applies when you install the batteries at the same time as solar panels right? If that is the case I really hope that they allow a mixed mode. I want to top up the batteries at night using cheap power and during the day store any tempory excess solar capacity from...

I think we will be able to buy tickets to Mars before we will ever see a Powerwall in Illinois. I put my name down for Powerwall 1 over 3 years ago and put down a deposit for the Powerwall 2 on the very first day over a year ago. Absolutely nothing happened in all those years.

Would wundercapital work for you? https://www.wundercapital.com/

I would try the chat function on the Tesla energy web site. I had a more complex question and they did a good job of answering my question.

Tesla support told me that the powerwall can't do both at the same time. You have to switch it between the two modes yourself. I would like to charge the battery to 70% at night, not discharge whilst my car is charging in the early morning and then the rest of the day self consume and use the...

Thanks for the detailed reply. Tesla energy support chat confirmed that TOU time shifting and self consumption will be mutually exclusive modes. I am in the same situation that my solar covers about 30% of my daily use. I would love to self consume as well as take advantage of TOU cheaper...

It indeed looks like the supercharger network is falling apart. Just completed a 4000 mile road trip and experienced a lot of slow charging. Like a good ev driver I try to plan my sections so that I arrive with 10-20% battery at the next supercharger. I use to get charges of around 100kw but the...

Is it possible to set the powerwall 2 to charge to 80% between 1 and 3 am and then starting at 6 am start discharge when there is a need for electricity and store and excess solar power during the day (when possible)? I don't want the battery to discharge during the night when power is very...

Sod has been as low as 2% and as high as 40%. Temperaturen getweeën 80 And 105F.

Yes, sorry. Charging between 20 and 50 kw. We went all the way to 80 for a few seconds and then back to 50 again. Around Chicago I am used to see 100kw.

For the last week we have been having a lot of FWD issues. This is especially happening when the car has been in direct sunlight on 100F days. Sometimes the manual override even refuses to work so our kids have to climb over the front seats to get in and out. Is anyone else experiencing these...

Thank you for posting this. We are on a 5000 mile road trip and the last week or so our supercharging has been at between 25 and 50 amps. Have not seen over 50 amps in a week and that is at least 10 supercharging sessions. We thought our car was broken. We are also having lots of issues with...

The main issue is that batteries are heavy and a car has to carry the batteries around with it. This means that battery efficiency is really important. If you loose 10% efficiency in a home battery that is not a big deal but if you loose 10% efficiency in a car battery then that is a huge issue...

Thanks for your reply,. It sort of answers my question. What is not clear is that you say the Powerwall can do TOU load shifting but if the battery is filled to 100% overnight then if I over produce solar power at 8am the battery is already full and I can not store the additional energy I...

From the spec it shows that the PowerWall 2 supports the following modes: Solar self-consumption Time of use load shifting Backup Off grid I am hoping that the powerwall can do a combination of the above at the same time. I would like my powerwalls to charge to 70% overnight for "Time of use...

I just picked up my car from the detailer. I had the car wrapped in XPEL and an opticoat pro layer added on top including a special opticout product for the windscreen. Just before I was about to pick it up the installer phoned me to advice me to not pick up the car because it needs to dry for...

Opticoat pro on window

I am picking up my Model X tomorrow from the detailler. I had the entire car wrapped with xpel as well as the seat backs and had a protective opticoat pro layer applied on the top. The bill will be somewhere around 10k. They had the car 4 days to complete all the work. How much tip should I give?

I am planning to have my X fully wrapped with XPEL and an Opti-Coat Pro+ by Chicago Auto Pros Detailing. Does anyone have any experience with how this affects the falcon wing doors and autopilot sensors?

Consumer reports have a point. If autopilot is not 100% safe and they can not guarantee that no one ever will die or get hurt whilst using it we should ban it even if it safer than driving without autopilot. For that same reason we should also ban all cars without auto pilot, bicycles, scissors...

I got a warning saying that the suspension was disabled immediately followed by a warning saying that the front motor was disabled. I could drive for another 30 seconds so I could get of a busy road. Then the car completely stopped. Now I get more warnings about the car needing servicing and the...

Picked up our car this morning. 90d vin 4936. Drove 35 miles. Now waiting for a tow truck. Car is undrivable. One of the third row seats was broken when we picked it up so not the best introduction to Tesla so far. Tesla customer service is great though. They are sending an uber to take my...

Picking up my Red, white interior 90D pup tomorrow morning in Chicago. Vin 4936

50 days ? I have been waiting 137 days so far but who is counting. I know that Tesla time is not linear but how is it possible that my car just went to QC which typically takes a week and then goes onto a train which takes 12-14 days and still should be ready for pickup in 10 days. Someone...

It entered production on May 18th and was completed on June 11th. So it as in production for 3 1/2 weeks. It just entered QC so I am no sure yet how long that will take. My DS estimates a delivery date of June 22nd but he also says that it takes 12-14 days for transport so those estimates don't...

90D - pup vin 4936 finished production yesterday and is going to quality control. After that it will go on a train for Chicago. The estimated delivery at the moment is June 22nd but that seems optimistic.

My 90D with Premium vin 4936 went in production earlier this week. My DS said that it takes 3-4 weeks for production, 1-2 weeks for testing and 12-14 days for shipping to Chicago. I am hoping to get the car end of June or the beginning of July. Because this is right on the end of Q2 I am hoping...

My car vin 4936 90D with premium package went in production today. This time they kept the promised production start date. Even more amazingly they were able to allow me to upgrade to the premium package without loosing my production slot. Thank you Tesla! My car is in the "body in white"...

vin 4936, no purchase agreement.
