What communication avenues did you use to reach out to Tesla Energy to ultimately have them look at your problem? I'm having a similar issue. I have a 16kw array, and under optimal conditions (high noon, no clouds in June), I'm getting max 9kw output. There was a CT issue in the beginning...

I just had a 16 kilowatt system commissioned with two Delta solivia 7.6 inverters. They frequently go into night mode during the day, I believe whenever a small cloud or any kind of minor shade passes by the panels. I should be getting over 60 KW hours per day but I'm only getting around 20...

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having a similar issue. Solar is dumping all power back to grid. Powerwalls a 0%, and set to Backup mode. Tried resetting the Gateway using the button through the hole, and also tried shutting down all power (including Power walls, MAIN power, etc) for 10 mins...

Possibly what happened here was that after the car struck the first post, the driver reacted by reflex to twist the steering wheel slightly thereby putting the car off of autopilot and into TACC mode. The posts may have been too thin to be detected by the TACC sensor so the car continued forward...

There is a Bjorn video on YouTube measuring face-lift model efficiency and anecdotally he said it's more efficient than his older Model S though that might have been a rear wheel drive model so not sure if it's a fair comparison. On my facelift 90D I sometimes can get close to the IDEAL range...

I also had a concern about rocks, which is why I tried to stay at least 4 car lengths behind. I was pleasantly surprised at the result, as I also thought you needed to be much closer! I'll try it at 5 or 6 next time and see what impact that has. Man I love this car!

Week 2 w/ the new 90D. This weekend driving back from Maine to Boston, I decided to try drafting behind a semi on AP, with distance set to 4 on the highway going ~65 mph. Was able to hit 221 Wh/mi averaged over 30 miles. Then the semi turned off an exit, and I monitored Wh/h, trying to maintain...

Well, depending on how I drive I find that I can sometimes get pretty close to ideal miles by driving it like my old Prius haha. Sometimes it's just a challenge to see if I can do it :) For my actual rated miles, I just keep an eye on the trip meter to show estimated rated miles based on last 30...

Thanks! I think opticoat at a minimum is a good investment. A beautiful car like this you would at least get it waxed periodically to keep it looking new and the opticoat is essentially a permanent 7 year wax. Before I did it I read dozens of articles on this forum about this topic, there's...

Thanks! It was the XPEL film that took the longest. The opticoat application should only take a couple of days at most.

Hey guys! Took delivery on 6/25 (White 90D) and immediately took her in for full XPEL Wrap + Opticoat. Here is my original post on the delivery experience: Model S Delivery Update As if the 2 month wait wasn't painful enough, it was even more painful handing her over to the detailer and...

oh yeah, good call guys. 310 ideal = ~265 rated for me at 90% SOC, so 420 -> ~360mi/hr. That sounds more like it. thanks!

Hey guys, I remember reading a thread on this forum regarding supercharging speeds, and most were reporting between 250 - 350 mi /hr (Beware: Supercharger speeds vary greatly | Tesla Motors). To my surprise, this weekend at the Greenwich Supercharge in RI, I was the only Tesla there and saw...

Just took delivery today... holy cow... On the drive in, the GPS said ETA 5 mins to the Tesla service center, and I started to feel so nervous -- because a year of planning, working my ass off, saving, obsessing, checking this forum 20 times a day -- it all led up to this moment. And for a...

Same here! And exact same configuration except white and no dual charger. Can't wait!

I'm getting Opticoat and XPEL done at Craft Detailing, only a few mins drive from Dedham SC: 25 Eastbrook Rd, Dedham, MA 02026. Kevin the owner is a great guy. Not sure if this is what you meant by body shop but hope this helps!

w00t w00t! Production complete and in Transit! Updated spreadsheet: VIN 1412xx S90D white Confirmed: 4/25 In Production: 6/6 In Transit: 6/10 Delivery estimate went from: June-Early July --> June 26-July 4 --> June 19 - June 26!!!! Just in time for our wedding anniversary ;)

Well now that a few more of our cars have entered Production, here is something else we can all obsess over: download the tesla app and type in your credentials. Mine currently says "No Vehicles linked to My Tesla Account". I now find myself opening this app like once an hour and refreshing it...

IN PRODUCTION! Got E-mail 10:20AM!!! VIN: 141xxx 90D, solid white Boston delivery 4/18 ordered 4/25 confirmed 6/6 in production

Erik, SWEEEET thanks for the post! I know you will but PLEASE post more after nano-fusion and opti-coat! I'm planning on getting XPEL + Opticoat as well, and it would be good to see the comparison of before and after. I'm sure it will shine like a MIRROR. can't wait to see it, and congrats again!

Damn that's hot, congrats! Still waiting on those photos come on man! :) is that solid or pearl white?

Hey is that factory paint, or has it been waxed or opticoated? Looks so shiny!

Hot damn you know that feeling when you see a beautiful woman and you feel a physical tightening of your chest and you knees go kind of weak and you can feel your heart almost skip a beat? That's what I feel when I look at this car. Beautiful, congrats!!

OT but can I ask how much you got quoted for full PPF wrap? Quotes around Boston are ~6k for full xpel plus $1200 for opticoat plus. Sounds crazy expensive but two places quoted me the similar range. I think I might just do it as you said for piece of mind!

Guys, it looks WAY better in person trust me. You will love it. I've been feeding my addiction by going to the tesla store once a week while waiting for production. The prudential tesla store is so packed on the weekends. I once sat in the passenger seat and answered questions for people for...

Second that, confirmed 4/25 90D. Boston delivery also 141xx Vin, still in queue with delivery estimate at end of June to early july. My DS has been responsive, though he did say production was slated for end of May and it hasn't happened yet. I'm hoping it will be this week for us people in...

Oh my god it's so beautiful!!!! Is that midnight silver? Love the way the light hits it in thay photo. Congrats!!

So I installed a mod for GTA V, which converts one of the stock electric cars in the game (the volta) to a Tesla Model S. Last night I spent about 2 hours playing the game, driving around the city of Los Santos looking for Teslas. After about 5-10 mins of driving, I would invariably come...

This is what I've resorted to today to help ease the pain of waiting. 03

Haha I too have watched almost every Bjorn video. Man the wait is killing me

@2virgule5, good call I should have checked! Next time I will. I think somebody on these forums should be getting his/her refreshed S this week (I think the earliest date I saw was the 20th?), so I guess we'll know soon enough! I'm not holding my breath though on the new AP hardware.... it's...

Very informative, thanks! What about the two circles on the right side of the stepped main camera?

Hey guys, I was just at the Boston Prudential Tesla store and they had a Refresh Model S. Hot damn it's a beauty in person. The photos havent done the new front justice. I snapped some photos of the AP camera up close. Does this look like the standard or not? I didn't have one for comparison.

Sorry to hear that, that's really frustrating! Really shouldn't happen in this day and age where servers can be built and scaled to handle millions of requests. This feature of remote app control really does seem to be an afterthought for Tesla. maybe it was built by an intern who left or...

This is a pretty old review, and you've probably already seen this, but it does highlight issues with Android App connecting to the car. If you say this started happening to you only recently, it's probably not the reason, but he does have some tricks in the video to get it to connect. May be...

Are you guys using the Android or iOS version of the app? The Tesla official app or Remote S if on iOS?

My first project when I get my tesla in June will be to work on an android app. I've seen reviews of the tesla android version, don't know why it's so bad.

...that I was escaping some thugs in a model S and when I punched it my vision blurred the world into a rainbow. Anyone else been having weird dreams while waiting for delivery?

My original thinking with this combo (Grey Leather + Black Headliner + Piano Black) is that it reminds me of the SpaceX Dragon interior. It really makes the Tesla look like a goddamn spaceship, and your photos prove it!

Same, except with solid white exterior. This interior combo looks incredible, so glad I went with this option. Thanks for the photos. Can't wait!

Beauty! Same color as ours (expected delivery June/Early July). Can't wait! Enjoy your new car!

Nice! My wife and I are planning the same trip in July (our first Tesla road tril) but from Boston. Look forward to reading your trip report.

Same, though mine is slated for June/Early July delivery, probably because I'm on the east coast. The best things are worth waiting for. At least that's what I keep telling myself. I think there's another thread of people who have seen the refresh in showrooms already though. I doubt the...

Sweeet, thanks Maximus8. Man this wait is killing me

Yeah good deal. Same here. 128gb SD card is pretty sweet!

4Super9, my understanding was that in the newer models the 12V connection is no longer available on the headliner grill? I would definitely prefer to use that if it were there. Guess I will have to find out. Thanks!

Nice! I think the OBD method is what I will use also when my 90D gets delivered in June. Do you guys have any concerns about draining the 12V battery? How long could you potentially leave it parking mode before you'd start to get worried. For example what if you left it at an airport long term...

After almost a year of lurking on this forum, checking it religiously multiple times per day, I am ecstatic to have finally pulled the trigger! S90D Confirmed order: 4/25 Delivery Estimate: "June/Early July" Vin: 141230 I live in the Greater Boston area, taking delivery at the Dedham Tesla...

I love reading these stories. I'm saving up for my Tesla and waiting for my current lease to expire next October. I keep going to the design studio and building the same car over and over again. I think I have a problem haha. Thank you all for the entertainment, can't say it makes the wait any...
