    Any way to keep Powerwalls from charging without turning off their breakers?

    Have you tried BALANCED mode and configure peak hours much earlier in the day? Once you hit peak hour the batteries should discharge to maximize the NEM credits (as it assumes you were in peak period). If you set it peak early the batteries may never have enough time to get to 100%. Never...

    Checklist on day of install (solar panel + powerwalls)

    In addition to Bruce’s comments: Test the system. Shut off main power and make sure that backup works on ALL expected sub panels/circuits. View your app and check flows as Bruce stated but focus on circuits on different panels. If you don’t have full house backup they need to place CT’s or...

    Cost savings more vs saving my powerwalls lifespan

    Have the same question. I'd like the option of not having to fill PW to 100% when using time based settings.

    Solar Panel + Powerwalls x2 Bay Area Question

    In the bay area. Solar + PW. Received NO call before they arrived. I did call scheduling a day or so before scheduled install date to validate that the install date did not change.

    Model s broken control arm.

    Let me help you out. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10110741-9999.pdf. The default Tesla answer for anything related to issues with the control arms is that its the fault the driver.

    Powerwall - Partial Back Up/Gateway Question

    The information on this thread is quite educational. I now understand that the gateway non-backed up lugs serve two purposes: 1) to act as an internal CT and 2) to disconnect the non-backup circuits in the event the grid goes down. Also, per @holeydonut post and per Figure 24 in the PW install...

    Powerwall - Partial Back Up/Gateway Question

    @holeydonut - isn't that what the non-backup lugs are for on the gateway? To allow those circuits that are not backed up, to receive clean energy when the grid is up?

    Powerwall - Partial Back Up/Gateway Question

    Thanks for the responses so far. The way that I conceptualize the Gateway is that when the grid goes down, then only those items that are downstream of the Gateway are powered by the PW's - the other non-backed up items are effectively disconnected and not powered. When the grid is up, the...

    Powerwall - Partial Back Up/Gateway Question

    Have 2 AC units and looking at a mid-size 8.16 KWH system with 2 Powerwalls. I understand that 2 PW's will only support 1 AC + rest of the home loads and as such my system will only have a partial back up configuration. My question: when there is not a power outage do the Powerwalls support the...

    Creaking sound in Model 3

    Check the center console side panels. The sides of the console snap into the main center console. Was able to recreate the creaking sound by squeezing the side of the console and the center console together. Apparently, the pressure fit clips used to join the side to the center are sometimes...

    "Off menu" waiting room

    Just picked up my LR RW - 11/23/18. Build date on vehicle was November 2018. Was looking for a RWD after it was officially discontinued online. Made some calls direct to sales associates in local stores with no luck. I then received an email noting that quite a few new build LR RWD's were...

    Winnemucca, NV to Boise ?

    Chiming back in. Rocky's approach was what I did on my way back to Cali from Boise. Sat for an hour having breakfast at Say When and had about 30 miles added (I only have a single charger in my 85D). Worked out perfectly. My concern was that the charger would be out of service and i would...

    Supercharger - Monterey, CA (Del Monte Center, LIVE 10 Aug 2017, 10 V2 + 4 V3 stalls)

    Used 1A last night. Plugged in, hear the relays kick in and charging ramps up nicely. However, I hear the relays click after about 40 miles added and then charging stops. The charging would start up but would immediately stop. I ended up moving to 5b (the only front pull in charger) which...

    Winnemucca, NV to Boise ?

    Ended up taking 95 with a stop at Say When. I drove very conservatively to leave me enough charge to get to Orovada which was not needed. I had breakfast and took my time while the car charged for about an hour. Driving 55 from Boise wasn't so bad as I had an opportunity to take in the...

    Winnemucca, NV to Boise ?

    Made it to Boise via Twin Falls and that was one heck of a ride. I plan on taking 95 back home. Curious as to how fast you were driving on the way through when you say "slowish." I will call the RV parks on the way down to see what the charge situations looks like. Obviously, Say When would be...

    Winnemucca, NV to Boise ?

    @Rocky_H - thanks for the reply. I jumped on EVTripPlanner and the short version is that I will take the longer loop through Twin Falls. When I add in the time to charge at Say When with my single charger (85D) I don't save that much time. Also, 95 is a bit barren for me on this first long...

    Winnemucca, NV to Boise ?

    Plan on taking this trip in the next couple weeks. (May 7th). Know that there is a charger the Casino in McDermitt but planning for a worse case scenario where the charger is not available for some reason; are the 4-50's in the RV park in Jordan Valley typically accessible? Any other words of...
