Is this on a 22 Plaid? Where exactly did you cut?

How are these holding up? Do they fit on a Plaid?

I had this issue on my 22 Plaid. Went in for service 6 times, everything from a wire harness change, body control module and other parts. Rear restraint error kept coming back. They finally replaced the entire seat a few weeks ago. No issues so far

Hey, I removed my center tray below my MCU on my 2016 and found this cord hanging down? Any idea what it’s for? My guess so that it connects to the MCU somewhere…

Got a VIN the other day for our Plaid X F349... how do I figure out the build date? Could this X have a swivel screen? Could this be a rejected VIN?

Yeah, I was thinking about converting to 6.5” as they offer more options. The rear door speakers are actually 6.5”.

Looks like my passenger front doors speaker is blown. Anyone have any recommendations for a replacement 8” woofer for the front doors besides LH?

I still think the Superchargers should start at a more central location on the island. Or does that not make sense at all?

KW Autobody did great work! I was lucky that the Tesla had the parts in stock at the SC. I needed a bumper cover and rear crash bar. Parts could take as long as a 1.5 Months according to KW. FYI, the Airport location is the certified Tesla shop

21” or 22”? VS08? Stock air ride? Looks great!! Been eyeing VS Forged wheels but I can’t make up my mind..

Nice!! What wheels are those?

Yup, going with KW... looks like the repairs will be about $4K

Yup so it happened today, I was rear ended across Waimalu Elementary by a Ford Escape... Damage doesn’t seem too bad, mainly bumper and lower part of hatch. Ford had some pretty bad front end damage. My concern is that the hatch seems to shutter while opening and sounds funny while closing...

Just had my tires replaced at the service center this past weekend. Apparently Enterprise Rental Car bought 15 MS 75Ds to loan to Tesla customers. I got to take one for the day as they worked on my S.

I constantly feel that way about the product specialist when it comes to the cars and the Powerwall.

I know the feeling, I have never curbed a wheel till I got an S. This girl does have wide hips though.. probably looking into going with Prodent Hawaii. I feel like the paint in the Turbines are prone to chips. I have a few chips on almost every wheel but in random places on the spokes...

That sounds good, S needs to go in to get the cellular antenna changed this week. I will inquire!

Hey guys, So it finally happen, hit a pothole on the way home and I have some rash on my passenger rear Turbines.. Any recommendations for wheel repair?

Ok guys, so Tesla call and basically the grid charging I saw was a bug. Charging from the grid is not allowed if you have a solar system, right now. Tesla is working through some legal stuff before they can release the grid charging feature. No ETA from Tesla right now.

So I got a call from Powerwall support today, charging from the grid was actually a bug in the firmware prior to 1.9.0. Apparently I got a sneak peak of what the TOU function would be like.. Good while it lasted I guess. According to Tesla, they are waiting on some legal “stuff” from certain...

This is still odd to me... My PWs always operated as follows Backup Mode Solar always fed house first, then any excess went to the PWs. If solar production was low, PWs would charge at 3.3kw total from the grid Self Powered Mode Would mimic Backup Mode if it set the Reserve above the state...

I have seen my PWs charge at 5.5kw with my 6kw solar system. Here is the proof that they charge above 3.3kw... 4.2kw to PWs

Weird, with my reserve set to 100% only whatever the solar is produces goes to the Powerwalls, my home is still fed by the grid.

Anyone else get 1.9.1? I notice that my PWs updated this morning.. This update still doesn’t allow me to charge my PWs from the grid. Currently my PWs are at 40% charge. If I set the reserve to 100% in self powered mode or backup mode my solar generation charges the PWs and the house is fed...

I’ve seen my PWs charge at 5-6kw when charging from solar, but this that’s also my maximum production. Charging rate from the grid was my issue

Now that I’m at 1.9 I’m having issues charging due to the update... I think the grid charging is limited by the backup gateway.. If I shut off one of my PWs the other PW would charge at 3.3 from the grid so I know it’s not an issue with the PW.

I’m in the same boat.. I also noticed that my power gets routed differently. Prior to the update Self powered mode with reserve set to 100% Solar would feed Home demand, any excess solar would charge the PWs. If solar generation was low the, the grid would charge the PWs @ 3.3kh till charge...

Those of you that have multiple Powerwalls, have you looked at what your rate your PWs charge at when charging from the grid? Currently, I have two Powerwall 2s installed but I noticed that when the PWs are charging from the grid they charge at 3.3kw total. Anyone else have the same issue?

How are you guys logging into the wizard? Do I need a specific email and password?

Aww nothing near Mililani / Wahiawa... :(

I think I am leaning more toward the UP brackets, How was the install? Did you need to redo your alignment? How is your tire wear? Could you please post some pictures? I appreciate the info!

PW will instantly switch to backup power once the grid goes down. The switch is so fast that you will probably not notice. The added benefit is that your solar will still work and not shut down like a standard grid tied system. Your solar will continue to power your home, any excess solar...

Yes, excess solar that your home is not using will charge PW in this scenario

Currently there is no option to set specific times to charge and discharge. Solar will always supply the home demand first. There are currently 2 modes, Self Powered and Backup Backup mode is strictly that, backing up your whole home or circuits you select at time of installation. Charging in...

I'm still waiting for Tesla to get back to me about the 3.3kw when charging from the grid. I actually turned one PW off to see if the rate dropped but that was not the case. One PW still charged at 3.3kw so it must be the Gateway limiting the charge rate.

Check your Breaker for the Powerwalls, one may have tripped. I have a 2 Powerwall setup and this happened to me. You may have to turn off the breaker and turn it back on. Question for you, if you are connected to the grid, what does your Powerwalls charge at? Currently, I notice that my...

That shouldn't be a problem, the enclosures are NEMA 3R

I think it depends what your TOU looks like. I have PV and a TOU rate plan. My TOU is 9am-5pm $0.128 per kwh 5pm-10pm $0.35 per kwh 10pm - 9am $0.22 per kwh Currently my solar produces about 24 - 26 kwh but my home uses a total of ~ 60 kwh daily. This is due to AC running all day with...

Currently there is no option to set specific times to charge and discharge. Solar will always supply the home demand first, then any excess will charge the PW. There are currently 2 modes, Self Powered and Backup Backup mode is strictly that, backing up your whole home or circuits you select...

The PWs were packaged in thick cardboard boxes with thick foam. The installers unloaded the PWs from their trucks with three people. They used a device called an "Escalera" <- not sure on the spelling.... It was all aluminum and looked like a hand truck with forks extending from the frame. The...

Hey guys, Solar City / Tesla completed the install of my Powerwalls a couple days ago. Install took about 6 hours and they also painted everything.

So I talked to Tesla support and the reason for the delay is the server. After changes are made in the app, it gets sent to a server. The server refreshes every 30 minutes to an hour. He made it clear to say that the refresh time doesn't start when changes are made. So you may get lucking and...

Hey, Anyone having issues controlling your Powerwall 2 using the Tesla App? With the PW at 0% charge, when I select backup mode the PW doesn't start charging immediately. The PW should start charging from either solar or grid or both correct? If I switch to self powered mode at night and...

Thanks for the reply, what is the fixed time period for the Powerwall to discharge on self powered mode?

@Ulmo Thank you for All the info you have been sharing. I'm having 2 Powerwall 2s installed on Tuesday. Question, in self powered mode, does the Powerwall start discharging once the inverter stops producing or are you able to set the "evening" time to start discharging?

We also sent our RSVP, looking forward to it!

I would inquire with Auto Customs on Waiakamilo, I'm sure they can take car of you.

Lately I have been looking into lowering links for my MS I have a couple of questions for those out there that have used them.... 1. What lowering links are recommended? 2. Does anyone know if the links currently available work on a 2016?

CarPro IronX... good product to remove contaminants(every few months), then i follow with Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Gel

Can anyone confirm that The Law front plate bracket works on a refreshed Model S?
