I bought my Y at the peak price....now going for 50K ...lol what's up with the electric tape... Tesla service has gone downhill, seems like the staff is on revolving door

@Jones1 Going to use your code...which plan? both seem the same

yea feel your pain...Tesla had to replace drive unit for my Model Y as well last year when the car stayed with them for 3 months

Thanks Jones and you apply for selling during sign up (initial contract) or is there a separate (long) process for that. I want the selling to be ready by summer....

Hey Drew, thank you. It's been a while. hope your model S was fixed. it seems it got a strike again....

Thank you. I'll use your code. I think there is $100 credit for both of us. Are you able to sell back in this plan? I didn't see any option about that. i am going to lock in 3 years

Hi Jones, you just switched from TE. How is Just Energy working out so far? are you selling energy? I know Drew has been with them for a while....

hello all, up for electric plan renewal. Let me know if anyone has referral code. Reliant doesn't want to renew my current free nights plan. i can sign up again with them but have to pay 150 as new customer. Just Energy?? or any other company with free nights is fine...

I found a hack to set the plan to have buy price to $0. Basically, break your off peak into two separate times, 7:00 pm to 12:00 am and 12:00 am to 6:00 am. This will let you put $0 as buy price. Then, you can go again and extend the off peak to 6 am. Just buy pure chance and luck I got...

Not yet for me, i just messaged them for Charge on Solar...

Damn you have 42KW system. Don't tell you are the guy in Great Oaks with Solar roof... same as you I am with Reliant Energy, will switch to Just Energy....need those credits....

Gents, just catching up on threads. Reliant Free Nighta doesn't allow buy back. Cancellation is $150 for each month left? It cannot be... I am looking at Just Energy.... My reliant rate is $.29/KWH and the rates are down now.

I got it installed in March. and the timeline for PTO was literally 1 day (earlier this week). They got rejected twice and got approved on the same day.

PTO received. Actually the same day. It seems TESLA is in rush to collect money for the install. Requested pay off amount but it will take 2 weeks. They activated PTO on Tesla app and the system already started exporting even though I am not signed up with any export plan. Any one getting cash...

PTO application got rejected. Also indicated I am exporting which does not make sense, since the PTO is turned off. But when I checked in the app it shows I export to grid 0.1-0.2KW (extreme minor) everyday. They should be thankful for the minor export for free :)

oh that makes sense, didn't know you had 2 powerwall+, yes they come with inverter. something i learned and now tell friends is you only need 1 powerwall for service line. Tesla corporate folks are stubborn sometimes, local install crew was great. we knew we were getting solar so picked a lot...

oh wow nice.... yes in the morning i know my system could generate more but PW is 100% and utilization is not that high. But yes, would be happy with 45 KWH production. if you are generating 46-49 KWH with 6.3 peak production it is great. You need more panels if you have already have two 7.6 KWH...

Thank you man...sorry to hear about your car. I think Houston is not a right place to drive Tesla or any nice electric car because once they get into even a minor accident it just a nightmare. And the way folks drive here, like it or not, we are bound to be in an accident at some point. What's...

Hope this works and don't have to do manual changes! Just set and forget...

9.2 KW system (1 of 2) consistently pumping ~40 KWH everyday. NO PTO yet (install in March). Tesla Panels are good! 7.6KW inverter almost maxing out at peak production hours (11 am to 2 pm) reaching the claimed 95% efficiency.

Thank you. Did y'all have to call them to set up sell back or is it part of the plan? I don't see that in the plan document. btw did you get your car fixed (sorry I have been off for a while)? they ended up changing entire rear motor drive unit for me since the gears were grinding up. took them...

Hey Drew, After months I figured out this morning after reading up here again how to set it to $0.00 for off peak buy rate. All, I had to do was split the time from 8:00 pm to 12:00 am and 12:00 am to 6:00 am for off peak instead of just setting up 8:00 pm to 6:00 am as off peak...Weird glitch...

Man...this is a dream plan. Do they send you money for the credit earned or does it roll over for use in winter months? Free nights and we can still sell some excess energy. I will sign up once my reliant contract is up. This is especially great for me since I have 2 systems and the second...

this plan states that you get credit for electricity used at night. Man don't want that...it should be straight up $0 (i.e. no charge). The rates have dropped significantly compared to earlier in the year. Even Reliant Free Nights is same rate now which is ~24 Cents for use during day. This plan...

You can see my system is discharging despite off peak hours. So i need to change setting to 100% back up at night and then switch back in the morning. Will need to do it for a week and then system will adjust to this mode. The best case is to have off peak buy price to $0.00 or Blank…but...

Now the app won’t allow us to leave the off peak rate blank or Zero. So have to manually change settings in app every morning and every night. Once you do it for a week or two the algo in the system understands the behavior and you can then set up to 0% back up. And after few months you will...

When did you switch from Reliant Free Nights? I need to look up Just Energy..

got some hail in cypress as well. Panels look ok. Hail size was less than 1” dia. Good to see active discussion about controlling Tesla API for powerwall management. I have 2 systems, will this hubitat support it? Some screen shots would be great. MY still with Tesla now officially more than 3...

Repeating again: We need Charge HQ type app for powerwall.

Ordered in July 2021, just got my system installed. Need to follow up on my referral award. I didn't get either one of those, it just says $100 for my referral code.

Wish there was a ChargeHQ version for the power wall…

@DrewHou pollen cover on the panels might be an issue for lower production?

Update: ChargeHQ is working great. Only issue is you can only use for 1 car with 1 system at a time, other than that it was nicely capturing excess solar production.

for anyone trying to automate powerwall settings. Since I cannot set the off-peak rate to $0.00, have to go through this... @Darwin has developed this and can be found here https://darwinsden.com/tesla-powerwall-manager-app-for-the-smartthings-hub/#comments

Easiest solution to this is to readjust the load among the breaker boxes. But has to be done carefully to avoid overloading a given service line. Tesla folks are too lazy to do that, I will eventually (after waiting on Tesla for forever) have to find an electrician to do that for me and pay a...

No the design was correct, the installer just flipped it by assuming that left line outside corresponded to left breaker box in garage. Ideally, he should have checked and confirmed which Service Line is connected to which breaker box.

Even I didn't know that they would split the system in two and the two systems won't talk with each other. On top of that they connect the bigger system with smaller load of the house and vice versa. Here is my attempt to explain:

I get scared when it won't slow down taking the ramp up on beltway 8, man that is solid 80-100 ft drop if the damn thing crashes and flies off ... Here is what I did to make FSD usable on normal roads: turn off regen brakes (not possible in Y), keep the aggressive setting to medium (there is...

Yes, if you get a hang of FSD it is pretty great! It has taken me door to door at places without any intervention. However, I also had 1 or 2 close calls (phantom braking). Are you getting it fixed in Cypress body shop?

With the recent (early January) minor storm, both wife and I drove from my parents' place to home and had: rear diffuser bumper come off in Model Y and front-middle one in model 3. Tesla would not own it as design flaw. That is still OK. But I am waiting for more than 2 months now for parts on...

2 systems running.... quite surprised by difference in generation...

Just spoke with Tesla, they said it is a Tesla thing. Once I have PTO, they will ramp it back to 48A.

Jones1's maxes out at 32A as well. Let me check if I did something in the car. But I got this issue after trying Charge HQ, I deleted my Tesla system from Charge HQ system now, but still issue persists. Let me try few more things.

No they didn’t do any breaker/load change. My powerwall installer guy seemed like he was having a bad day. Reversed the gateway/powewall, pretty big cock up.

Thanks, i am pretty sure mine was 48A before powerwall and solar install for Model Y.

sorry for putting too many questions, but anyone else saw their charging Amps limit down to 32A after solar installation?

it doesn't allow blanks now. On a separate note, found out that the installers hooked up Gateway/PW 1 with more solar panels and more output to service line (Breaker box panel) 2 which has less load and vice versa. I have 2 gateways 200A each connected to 2 service lines in the house. How can...

Thank you @DrewHou Tesla App would not take buying at $0.00 so used $0.01 for off-peak between 8p to 6a. I will check out the Charge HQ app. So far what I did was basically played around with Amps to charge cars during peak production from 10a to 3p with solar panels, I am assuming this app...

Thanks for the detailed reply. Elon trying/aiming to run people’s lives by becoming the utility provider eventually.

Everything going to Tesla. 2 EVs, solar and Cyber truck on the way. They screwed me with Model Y last year by forcing to accept delivery or lose a spot. Could have got the credit if I took delivery this year.
