    PG&E PSPS Watch September 8-9, 2020

    PG&E weather awareness As of the time of this posting, zones covering the Sierras and some northwestern areas listed as of now. This watch follows the Flex alert over the weekend. This has the potential to be a rough couple of days with widespread 100F+ days! Edit: I see zones 3/4 is...

    PG&E rolling blackouts during heatwave (Aug 14 2020 —> ?)

    Not very scientific but searching twitter for PG&E block 50 yields quite a few tweets mentioning police/fire/hospital shared circuit.

    PG&E rolling blackouts during heatwave (Aug 14 2020 —> ?)

    I’m also block 50. It’s explicitly mentioned not to block out. Is block 50 different than other blocks..? Edit to add my own google search: “Anyone with an outage number of 50 is exempt from shutoffs. Those include hospitals, police and fire stations, along with areas that were blacked out in...

    PG&E rolling blackouts during heatwave (Aug 14 2020 —> ?)

    Perhaps consumption is down because power is being cut? “Update, 5:53 p.m. Authorities in Berkeley have just announced that 33,964 PG&E customers “will be included in rolling blackouts this evening.” Update: 34,000 PG&E customers in Berkeley will lose power Monday

    PG&E rolling blackouts during heatwave (Aug 14 2020 —> ?)

    A significant cloud cover for this time of the year is moving into parts of NorCal for the next 2-3 days while the high temperatures remain. It will be interesting to see how the reduced solar power generated will play into this. Question: With rolling outages, once you had an outage...

    PG&E rolling blackouts during heatwave (Aug 14 2020 —> ?)

    200-250k customers to be affected for “about an hour” on a rolling schedule as needed. https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article244979030.html Powerwall customers and others, report your experiences here :) My only observation so far: Storm Watch is not enabled.

    Powerwall Reserve - How Low Do You Go?

    (SNIP) I don’t think you understand this right. You are mixing up Net Metering (NEM) credits and Net Surplus Compensation payments. You are getting your $.54/$.30/$.15 in NEM credits for your future usage until your true up where your NEM credits are either spent or you are out of credits and...

    SW was enabled 4 am this morning in Norcal. The cause is most likely the red flag warning regardless of no PG&E PSPS (preventive fire power outage) warnings, watch or elevated status. I might turn this one off ...

    4 year maintenance plan timed out

    Tesla is not honoring the 4th pre-paid maintenance for my 2015 Model S. The 4th year maintenance expired once the age of the contract went into the 5th year, they say. For me this is October, a few months ago. I was under the impression the pre-paid plan was for 4 maintenance visits, with the...

    Think we'll be able to use the cybertruck as a home generator?

    I like the idea, other EV makers are already on it so why not. But Tesla Energy is pushing solar + Powerwall so the company would be competing against itself in a way.

    Looks like you ordered 82 minutes before me and with approx. 2750 delta between us we have 2750 / 82 = 33.53 cars ordered per minute pace on average right now. A little more than a truck ordered every 2 seconds.

    Has monitoring.solaredge.com also stopped working?

    Both SolarEdge web and iPhone app works fine here in Norcal. No Tesla/SolarCity affiliation however and solar only.

    Is there an official list of Powerwall resellers?

    Try to get a realistic timeline for 3P installers to secure install & eligibility for the 30% Fed tax credit within 2019. Get a quote from vendors and Tesla. 3P vendors will significantly eat into the SGIP rebate. YMMV.

    Powerwall Chico/Norcal w/SGIP

    Got a quote from Tesla @ ~$18K today. 2 PWs all included. Nice with 30% fed tax rebate as we would connect with existing solar to qualify. However, Tesla Energy is already oversubscribed for all phases in the SGIP program. None of the solar shops in Chico do Powerwall installs, afaik after...

    Firmware 8.0

    Unfortunately, I can confirm the 2.48.16 speed restriction report made by @cgiGuy . On undivided roads, the speed cannot be set over the speed limit.. On divided highway, the max workable setting is still 90 mph.

    Unlucky parking lot encounter captured on dashcam
