    Powerwall 2 in Florida

    You are correct. What I was saying is that assuming the grid is up the powerwall serves no purpose with the way FPL does net metering (since I do not believe you can combine net metering with time of use). It would be cheaper to than a powerwall to just get a backup generator for outages. But I...

    Powerwall 2 in Florida

    KC moses, I may check out Urban Solar. Do you already have your solar installed? They are the first solar company I have found that lists the owners and managers on the website by name. I hate when companies don't do that. It makes it seem like they are hiding...

    Powerwall 2 in Florida

    Karma, Thanks for the info. I have less SF than you but only 1 AC unit; so, less flexibility to conserve in the event of power loss. Somehow I use an average of 97kwh per day... I have no idea why it is so high because the house has a metal roof, good insulation, impact windows and was built in...

    PowerWall 2 Interface with a Generator

    I'm guessing they are worried to allow generator charging of the powerwall due to the potentially "dirty" power possibly damaging the batteries? Also, not entirely sure how the powerwall would necessarily know the difference from grid power if the ATS was installed "before" the powerwall...

    Powerwall 2 in Florida

    Karma, Looks awesome! I am so glad to hear you had a good experience with the installers. Can you run everything in your house off the powerwall and solar setup? For how long in the event of an outage? What size AC do you have? Tesla Energy called me last night; but, it turns out they were...

    Powerwall 2 in Florida

    I signed up for the PW2; but, I am thinking of going ahead with Solar anyway and adding a PW2 for backup eventually. I am in North Palm Beach. Who do you all recommend for a solar install? Thanks!

    Tesla Approved Body Shop in South Florida

    Just a quick update. Auto Krafters in Riviera Beach quoted me $1,100 to fix the above damage. Including sraightning out the door, painting the door and rear quarter panel to blend in the repainted door.

    Tesla Approved Body Shop in South Florida

    I had a run in with a chuck of something on I95 that flew up and hit my rear passenger door denting it slightly and causing several large and deep scratches. What a bummer! I have used Auto Krafters in the past on my wife's Yukon and they did a very good, but not perfect, job. They do a lot of...

    My facelift 2017 works perfectly with a suction cup window mounted sun pass. Maybe they changed the glass with the facelift?

    Tinting 2016 MS!

    I've been going to the same place for 15 years and they do great work. I thought it was cheap too. But I came out great. They used the Llumar PPF which is the same as Suntek from what I was told. If anyone is in SE Florida send me a message and I will give you details.

    Opinion: New 60D or Used P85?

    I would go 60 or 60D. Facelift styling, ability to add AP and better build quality being the biggest reasons in my mind. The full charge on the 60 has been covered extensively on this forum with the official tesla answer being "we don't reccomend charging to 100% every day even with the 60"...

    Tinting 2016 MS!

    $1,500 is high in my opinion. I paid $1,500 for formula one pinnacle ceramic tint on all windows + windshield and suntek paint protection film on the whole front of the car (full hood, quarter panels, bumper, rear luggage area and door handles). The tint alone would have been around $400- $500...

    Feeling misinformed on my CPO order (substantive previous damage) -- what should I do?

    I had a great CPO experience on a nearly new 2016; but, I have to agree that the process of certifying the car after taking a deposit on it is backwards. It slows down delivery time and results in disappointed customers. You expect that cars with issues like this would go to auction and end up...

    Which CPO Should I Buy? Between these two...

    Both of these cars seem expensive. If you pay that money don't you at least want a facelift car? I wouldn't hesitate to have a car shipped. You are in the middle of the country so nothing will be too far away. I can't see settling for whatever is local when you are spending that kind of money.

    Supercharger costs for Florida

    I had not thought about the demand aspect. This would have a major impact especially at larger stations. In FL the demand charge is based on the highest 30 minute demand in the billing cycle. Im sure a big supercharger would have substantial demand charges. Ultimately I'm sure they plan to use...

    High-Five to the 2.52.22 Update

    Amen! I have been on BMW and GM forums for a decade and I have never seen whining like on this site. Even on a post giving praise for fixing an issue within a week! I guess expectations are just higher. But C'mon! If you were driving any other car on the road you would be going back to the...

    I-95 in Miami on Autopilot

    It seems to do ok in the express lanes following another car in traffic. However if there is no traffic I am more comfortable steering myself and using TACC only when in the express lanes. It's not that it doesn't work for... I am just more relaxed and comfortable just steering myself when so...

    Supercharger costs for Florida

    I agree 100%. So much has been made of this; but, with 400kw free and pricing that is virtually the same as charging at home this new policy should only affect a very small subset of tesla drivers that were taking advantage of (or planning to take advantage of) super chargers for free daily...

    Model X Wheels on a Model S!?

    I thought of this as well as 20" tire options are cheaper than 21". However, I haven't ever seen any evidence that they are the same offset. What the service center said seems to imply the x wheels may have a different offset causing rubbing at lock... I'm sure someone will try soon enough!

    How is the linked key fob supposed to work?

    I had a similar issue with both fobs in the car. I think turning off automatic locks might solve the problem... But, i don't really want to do that. My fob happens to be Fob 2.... not sure if both fobs are present that it will prefer fob 1... That might be a solution. Or just only set linking...

    That is the article I was referring to as well... Hybrid cars: Free pass on I-95 express lanes in South Florida will end by Sept. 2017 I also looked for something more official on the FDOT site and did not see anything... Hopefully it is just more bad reporting....

    New Owner with Questions 2013 P85+

    Welcome. You should get about 30 miles of charge per hour at 40 amps. There aren't too many situations where it would help to charge faster. Go Noles! I lived in Tallahassee for a few years after attending FSU. Awesome city!

    New Vehicle, unsual sound at highway speeds

    The lane departure warning was driving me nuts for a few days before I turned it off. It is so subtle I thought it was a driveline vibration. But sure enough it went away when I shut off lane departure. Not sure if that is even active in AP 2 cars... but worth checking into.

    EAP HW2 - my experience thus far... [DJ Harry]

    I have AP 1.0... But I also think an acceleration setting would be helpful... Congrats on being one of the first 1,000 to get to try AP 2.0. Many of the people here probably would have paid an unreasonable sum to be in that position!

    Help - Ordered today but didn't get premium package. Is it worth it?

    If I was ordering today a probably would skip PUP and go with the cloth seats. The cloth premium seats look great! And as others have said it is a $6,000 upgrade to the ventilated leather seats + PUP. I did not love the old cloth seats... my car is CPO so I ended up with PUP + NextGen.

    Free Unlimited Supercharging Extended Until 1/15

    I wonder if that many people actually use over 400kw at supercharges in a year? I'm sure there are some that do... but I bet most would never even benefit from unlimited vs 400kw. I don't think I would.

    SunPass Mini

    I have heard that the current law allowing hybrids in the pay express lanes is ending... hopefully EVs will still be allowed as it would be a much smaller number. I don't think there is any plan to change hybrids being allowed in HOV lanes. However I think the plan is to replace most of the...

    Trade in ICE for CPO

    I took my BMW to probably 6 places for trade in evaluation and they were all within 1,000 of CarMax. As others have said Tesla will match CarMax. About as fair of a trade in policy as I can think of. No one pays up for trades in my experience... if you want retail money you need to do the...

    Buying from Dealer vs Tesla CPO

    I thought Tesla had confirmed the new policy would only apply to new cars; but, I guess I dreamed that... I didn't think model s and x volumes would matter that much and that the change was mostly in anticipation of model 3. Either way; sorry for the misinformation.

    SunPass Mini

    I have not registered for HOV lane access since I just got my registration yesterday (and Tesla was not able to request the HOV lane sticker for me). Per the website you need to shield the sunpass in the express lanes. However, with the plate recognition as well I'm not sure what works best in...
