Disappointed with this station. Last night the furthest 4 stalls did not work. I finally gave up and went to the third closest to the highway and only got 76 kW (was at 35% SOC). I'm mostly disappointed with how many stalls were out rather than the low rate.

To expand on this: 2016-2019: 30% 2020: 26% 2021: 22% 2022 and on: 0% (commercial installs still get 10%) This is true as of this post. Changes may occur, including perhaps ones that are retroactive.

yeah almost all V2s were unlocked to 150kw (from 120) when they announced V3

V3 is faster, 250 kW

I've also seen plenty of trucks stuck under the greenich bridge at the NY border. One time even saw they had to cut one length wise bc it looked like an accordian same in my 3, it doesnt seem to "see" the curves until it has to make jarring speed adjustments so I flip it off before any major...

I used to commute North from NY to CT on the merrit daily for 4 years. I can't tell you how many times I've seen emergency vehicles and crashes on the those two turns. You'd think they would redesign them after enough crashes...

V3?

Mobile service just replaced mine under warranty. The tech explained that Tesla only covers it via the service bulletin in the event it was caused by damage from a puddle/rain. Direct quote from the tech “You should be able to drive your car in the rain without any trouble” He said they will...

does anyone have a copy of this service bulletin? Edit: I found it https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10153430-9999.pdf Some very interesting text in here including (bold emphasis mine): "On some Model 3 vehicles, the front and/or mid aero shield panels might be susceptible to damage...

yeah if they make me pay for this I’m taping it with gorilla tape

I was quoted $165 for the part, $35 for labor, 12.7 for tax, 212.7 total. I'm trying to fight for a warranty repair as well. I know two other ppl in CT that got this done under warranty. Interesting to note my part # quoted is a -B and not the -A you mention above.

Just had this happen to me and after some searching I found a redditor refer to a newly designed plastic cover that is coming? Anyone get this yet? Model 3 - Hard Plastic Version of Undercarriage Composite Tray Coming Soon : teslamotors My mobile service appt is next Monday.

this is the correct comparison. Elon keeps saying electricity + regular roof > solar roof - electricity what everyone should be comparing is regular roof - solar panel electricity

“We are about to complete version 3 of the solar roof. This is actually quite a hard technology problem to have an integrated solar cell with a roof tile, have it look good, and last for 30 years.” - Elon I thought the tiles lasted forever? Am I not remembering him saying that right?

Same here. Ordered around beginning of Sept. I reached out in beg of Oct to ask if there was anything else and they tell me they arewaiting for me to sign another piece of paper they claim to have sent me. It never appeared in my tesla account nor do I have any emails in all of Sept from Tesla...

oh I agree overall efficiency has increased since then but warranties should be the same no? Degradation rate hasn't changed much as far as I know.

really? I feel like that's not true and panels have always had long warranties...Do you have a source on that?

Tesla told me the same and the website still quotes free removal.

Update: Deposit Date: 9/4/19 I found out a week ago its estimated to take 8 weeks for my electric company (UI) to approve my install. Until then Tesla won't give me a date for an install. Then a few days later I got an email from UI saying my interconnection application was incorrect and they...

can confirm, I stop here regularly with my pooches

I just got a new contract with the 1500 removed. it now say removal at no cost

yes I worked through several iterations of my layout with my advisor and layout engineer

FYI I just spoke with my tesla energy adviser and the 2000 miles free supercharging is for solar purchases only and the rental does not count.

what inverter are they proposing for you? For me its a solaredge

any upgrades needed to install the solar array including upgrading an electrical panel are charged to the customer.

For me I have to pay a minimum charge if $10/mo to rent my electric meter. So for me a large system + tax + min fee is ~170/mo It’s still profitable enough to make me close to $1200 a year

it is not, the contract states it is variable and they must give you at least 30 days notice of a price change

do you not have net metering?

I don't believe they do but why I'm curious why you would ask for this? They did have me upload my latest electric bill which has a history of the last 12 months of usage. As far as I know they just use this to determine if you've bought the right system. I think in my area the utility can deny...

yes thats correct, they now have you take photos of all your equipment to upload when you put your deposit in deposits are fully refundable and you get your money in < 1 week

They quoted me a SolarEdge Single Phase Inverter that is designed to work with power optimizers

My sister in law lives in this dead zone. It takes a little bit of planning when we go see her. I usually end up L1 charging in her garage all weekend.

I just spoke with my energy advisor. He confirmed the $1500 removal fee is indeed gone! He referenced a meeting with Elon at 11 AM this morning. The contract language is being updated now and my advisor is going to notify me when its complete.

I'm struggling then to see a scenario where you'd have to pay the $1500 at all then. Perhaps only if you want to remove the system to buy another? or you dont like the look of it and want to pull a Richard Nixon removing the panels from the whitehouse?

I just called tesla energy to ask what was up. The woman who answered my call was completely unaware of the new language and as far as she knew the $1500 was still in effect. She did comment that if you want your system removed within the first 30 days that is no cost. She asked me where that...

my guess is they have a good combination of high electric rates and high state rebates/incentives

For me its the following: 1 Month = 1108kWh generated (average). System cost is $150 (plus tax? Sales Tax in Connecticut is 6.35%) = $159.53 UI's (through third party) current generation rate is $0.0899 + delivery fees total $0.151 = $0.241 / kWh currently. 1108kWh * $0.241 = $267 generated...

I changed my mind on Tesla solar after getting a few quotes from installers to buy and running the numbers again. I don't plan to stay longterm so rental is a no brainer.' This time when i resigned up they asked for all kinds of photos of my electric panel and meter. They also asked about my...

aesthetics and security aesthetics and security

I'm very confused on why anyone would draw up plans for an inverter not in a garage. A guy I had out recently to do solar also assumed he'd put it on the outside of the house.

Just cancelled my deposit. Just way to many questions and poor customer service. What made my decision though was how vague the contract is to nearly all the items discussed above and I did not feel comfortable trusting Tesla that the price would not increase substantially. Tesla has a poor...

will a second company add their own panels and new inverters?

Is there a minimum amount of time the system needs to be operational in order to qualify for the federal tax credit?

Just got this response in writing from tesla via email "In regards to the contract stating “Tesla is the solar beneficiary of any incentives”, that is in regards to any Federal Tax credit or state incentives available. You will still be receiving the full benefit of the net metered electricity...

assuming they do, does that mean they get the money for any excess sale back to the grid even when you are paying the rental?

I'm trying to figure out how Tesla would continue to get solar credits/power for the install. On my house there is 1 meter. My electric company does not install another for solar installs (reference everyone else on my street who has solar). Its my electric account, Tesla doesnt have access to...

Its not clear to me that you can stop paying and leave the panels. The contract is ambiguous there at best.

Remember too net metering ends for everyone in 2039 too

My biggest concern is risking that the price will go up. The people I've spoken to assure me it wont go up that much if at all in the first year but without that in writing I'm not convinced. Putting panels on my roof leaves me prone to the price skyrocketing to 1000/mo if Tesla wanted to and...
