    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    I'm on APS and had 2 powerwalls installed back in Feb 2018... the invoice did not have any sales tax.

    U-Haul Trailer Tips

    My U-Haul here seemed pretty knowledgeable about Tesla Model X and towing needs. They got me all setup in a few minutes... kids not included.

    Powerwall Installation Location

    I'm in Arizona and it's installed outdoors but it's under a shaded area (see photo in my post above). We do get up to 110 in the summer. I haven't had any issues and still get about 90% efficiency (electricity to the powerwall vs electricity from the powerwalls). These were installed back in...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    Looks like from a 2018 lawsuit settlement between Tesla and SRP: SRP and Tesla Finalize Agreement to Resolve SolarCity Lawsuit

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    I mounted mine outside under a covered area. No problems at all during summer heat.

    Supercharger - Sedona AZ

    Visited Sedona yesterday arriving at the charger with about 30% charge in my X75D... had lunch at Miley's Cafe and ice cream at Rocky Road right next to the chargers. Btw, public bathrooms are to the rear side of the building (behind the ice cream store). Charged to 90% in about 45 minutes...

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    @AZSam , sorry, I had posted my PowerWall install update on the AZ Tesla Group thread: PowerWall Installation Yes, install completed back in March. Tesla Concierge called to say that they will be registering my 2 Powerwalls with APS but that there's no action required on my part. The Tesla...

    Supercharger - Phoenix, AZ - Agua Fria Freeway

    Charged here today even though the map said reduced service. Looks like only two superchargers are down.

    iPhone X phone call garbled voice

    Not sure if it's related, but there was an issue with Apple Watch 3, iPhone X and Bluetooth connectivity that was fixed in a recent update to the Apple Watch. During calls using Model X's speaker/mic, I can hear the caller, but they couldn't hear me. After the update, all is working fine for me.

    Purple back up screen?

    Did you try rebooting the Main Console Unit (MCU) by holding down the 2 scroll wheel buttons on the steering wheel?

    Supercharger - Phoenix, AZ - Agua Fria Freeway

    I think it was kind of a nice surprise and popped-up quickly. There's a discussion thread about this: New 16 Stall Urban SuperCharger at Scottsdale Quarter

    0 to 60 uncork

    Took my Model X 75D (Aug 2016 with VIN 14xxx) and got it uncorked today. Verified with P1 perf_config setting. The energy consumption ring now goes all the way to the end and punches you back into the seat off the line when you floor it.

    0 to 60 uncork

    There's a thread on about the Tesla API using a browser to get your vehicle state which has a Perf Config setting: Tesla Owner API Tutorial (All you need is your browser) My Model X 75D shows: "perf_config": "P3", P3 supposedly means still corked and it should say P1 if it's uncorked. Mine...

    0 to 60 uncork

    Is there any way to tell the difference after the "uncorking" other than the "butt thrown to the back of the seat zero to 60 test"... for science?

    0 to 60 uncork

    I emailed my local service center with my VIN to check... and I was surprised that they said yep, bring 'er in next week to get the performance upgrade. My Model X 75D was picked up Aug 2016 (AP1) VIN 14xxx and it qualifies. Christmas in October!

    BlackVue DR750S Review

    Yes, the recording length seems to be limited to 1 minute clips and the setting is grayed out.

    BlackVue DR750S Review

    I replaced my 650S with the 750S today. The standard mount on the front has to be replaced since the 750S has a bigger radius. I tried using the 650S mount already there and it was too tight to fit properly. Replacing the rear camera was simple. Having the BlackVue previously wired already...

    Blackvue DR650S Review + Tesla Model X Install

    I followed @Nerdy_Engineer 's video also and another video where the installer used long zip ties to pull the wires to the rear without taking off the plastic trim around the top of the rear window.

    New Blackvue Dashcam (DR750S)

    I've pre-ordered it also. By the way, I still love my 650S-2CH... caught this last night on my Model X:

    New Blackvue Dashcam (DR750S)

    It has a USB connector to charge the battery that comes with the wifi hotspot. So I got a cigarette adapter that has a USB port to keep it plugged in and keep the hotspot powered up.

    New Blackvue Dashcam (DR750S)

    I use FreedomPop for the free 1 GB of data each month. I have the hotspot plugged into the cigarette port in the trunk area of the Model X. I had it in the front console previously, but that was causing the GPS on the BlackVue to lose contact with the satellites. I've never come close to the...

    Is there a Tesla Wave or hand sign?

    Would be nice if the main console unit can send a quick acknowledgement and have it pop-up on their end :cool:

    New Blackvue Dashcam (DR750S)

    @Qbenjamin I had similar problems with my BlackVue 650S in my Model X. It turned out that I had my wifi hotspot too close to the dashcam. After I moved my wifi hotspot to the trunk area, that problem went away and GPS would lock on in about 2 to 3 minutes of driving. Hope this helps!

    Is there a Tesla Wave or hand sign?

    @tccartier Congrats on your CPO! I've visited High Street many times (can't resist Ocean Prime or House of Comedy), but I could never find the chargers there. To be fair, I didn't spend too much time looking for it since I'm fairly close to that location. Tesla site says 2 Tesla charges up to...

    Is there a Tesla Wave or hand sign?

    Comrade, we shall wave with both hands with auto-pilot enabled. I'm about 30 minutes north of Scottsdale and there are a few of us Teslas roaming about the desert lands.

    Arizona Powerwall Installs

    I have 2 on reserve. Tesla Concierge called me back in June to let me know it's moving forward and I should have the install by end of June. That was missed and I just got the interconnect document to sign with APS last week. It seems to be slowly moving forward... about the same pace with my...

    Black Model X: How do you keep it clean? Any regrets?

    I love my black X75D... I use the California Car Duster to easily take off dust weekly. Then, I use Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer to spot wipe a few areas. I hand wash maybe once a month using the 2 bucket system with Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine. Then, Invisible Glass Cleaner on all the...

    Powerwall 2: Installation

    I got a call last week from Tesla Concierge that my installation was waiting for permits. It was from area code 209 number so maybe you might not have answered it. Not sure why they wouldn't just email with the same info since they have my email info as well. My guess is that you're install...

    Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

    I average about 15 MB of data usage per DAY on the wifi hotspot with just event and cloud connect/disconnect notifications. Are you using live view or pulling recordings over the cloud? Connect using wifi with your dashcam instead of the cloud to view recordings to minimize your hotspot usage.

    Powerwall 2: Installation

    Signed docs in mid April and got a call from Tesla Concierge today that it's awaiting permits. Sounds like the install could happen before end of May.

    Just ordered MX75D...

    Congrats! My first EV is also the most expensive car that I've ever purchased. You really can't go wrong with any option or just take the base.... it's just a slight differential between Awesome and Awesome Sauce!

    Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

    @iceman747 like @K-MTG said, it won't auto-upload videos but the cloud feature can send you an alert for event notifications when in parking mode, for example. You can then watch that specific video over the hotspot or download it to your phone or upload it to the BlackVue Cloud (which includes...

    Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

    I got the free service from FreedomPop which includes free LTE coverage, but it will disconnect if it drops to 3G unless you upgrade your account which is no longer free. The hotspot will auto switch between 4G/3G, but your account service has to be upgraded to allow for that. Hope this helps!

    Powerwall 2: Technical

    Saw a new update to the Tesla app for the iPhone today. The update description says that you can now monitor home energy use with the Powerwall. Can't wait to hear back from Tesla to schedule the installation.

    Don't you wave with both hands because you have auto-pilot enabled?

    Powerwall 2: Installation

    I have SolarCity system installed and it came with Fronius IG Plus V inverters. I will be installing 2 PowerWalls. They added the backup gateway ($700), Permit Fees ($150), installation ($900), and Taxes. Your cost estimate may vary depending on your specific install. I'm lucky in that I...

    Powerwall 2: Installation

    I got my call to review initial docs today after the site survey last week. I asked a few questions like the inclusion of backup gateway, option to isolate the Wall Connector circuit separate from the battery so I can charge the Tesla using the grid instead of battery, as well as using a...

    Blackvue (mis)understanding

    I do wish, however, that if it sensed an EVENT trigger in parking mode or driving mode, that it would try to upload the incident video to the cloud. Currently, I have a mobile hotspot to only notify of incidents. This way, I can at least have a date/time stamp of the incident and then review...

    Powerwall 2: Installation

    Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

    @vandacca Awesome tip! Total lightbulb moment as soon as you said ziptie and just push the string up the boot hole (whew, auto-correct). I searched YouTube and TMC and couldn't find any other video for an alternative... Thanks!
