    200 vs 400amp service

    One point to add is that it's not only the extra amps I'm getting - it's the space in the panels as well. I have a lot of 240v hookups (11) that will not fit on a single panel with the rest of the 120v so I would have to add a sub panel anyways. The extra amps is just icing.

    200 vs 400amp service

    Yeah - the panel will be in the 3rd car garage and I'm already dropping lines to the 2 car garage were we'll park. It's a 1 story too so dropping lines in the future shouldn't be too difficult.

    200 vs 400amp service

    Yeah - I'm running 1 100 amp line to one spot in the garage and a 50 amp line to the other side. The breaker box is in the 3rd car garage so it will be an easy add if we ever want to put anther one in there.

    200 vs 400amp service

    Yup - mines a ‘13 with dual chargers. Wasn’t aware that the new ones were unadjustable.

    Charging automation IFTTT

    Does anyone know of any sort of charging automation that could be triggered though IFTTT? My electricity rates adjust on 5 minute intervals and would like to trigger charging when rates drop below a certain threshold.

    200 vs 400amp service

    Thanks all for your input. I'm going to go with the 400 amps. I agree that I don't need the capacity today but I expect to have at least 4 EVs in the future (wife and kids). It's a fairly sizable house with a pool, electric oven, 5 refrigerators, etc. so for $600 its more of a future proof...

    200 vs 400amp service

    I can dial it down to draw whatever amps I want to pull from inside the car. I only pull the 80amps when I need to charge quickly.

    200 vs 400amp service

    Wowzers. Can I ask why you need to upgrade?

    200 vs 400amp service

    Thanks for the response. I’m already running into issues with the whole home standby generator and the two panels but I think we found a workaround would just putting everything on one of the panels and going with a 200 amp ATS.
  10. Manzacoty

    200 vs 400amp service

    It’s going to be 2 200amp panels which I’m already running into complications with a generator I’m wanting to put in. I’m going to have to put all the critical circuits on one of the panels.
  11. Manzacoty

    200 vs 400amp service

    The size of the wire Coming to the house should be more. But they said it wasn’t so I’m just gonna go with it.
  12. Manzacoty

    200 vs 400amp service

    Great advice- I live in TX and have the ability to purchase electricity at wholesale rates. It’s TOU and rates often go to 0 or even negative at night.
  13. Manzacoty

    200 vs 400amp service

    Thanks - builder said he talked to the electric company and they don’t charge extra for the service. I find that hard to believe but I’m going to move forward and see what happeneds.

    200 vs 400amp service

    Hi all - just wanted to get some opinions about the service to a new home we are building. Standard is 200amp service but I can upgrade to 400amp for $600. It’s a no brained right? I have a HPWC and my S85 has dual chargers so I will be pulling down 80 amps (on occasion). Other car is an ICE...

    Model 2013 with 100,000 miles

    131k on my 2013 S 85. I had one of my chargers go bad and the screen was replaced at 85k. Other than that - it's been great. If my car was totaled today I wouldn't hesitate in a second to pull the trigger on a 100k S.

    FS/Feeler: 2015 Model S 85D -72k AP1, Midnight Silver

    This might help you with pricing. Here are the sell prices of other 15 MS85 that have gone through auction recently. General rule of thumb is trade in will be a few thousand less and retail will be a few thousand more. It’s not the Bible but it’s something to go off of.

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    You'll be fine. If it's the rear door you don't need to remove the window. Just watch the videos, take your time and you'll be fine. Feel free to post on here if you get into any trouble and one of us can help out.

    Salvage Car Owners Support Group.

    Wow - someone didn't do their research. "Just need to find someone with toolbox access" ~ $2k to program a key. I would suggest searching the forum and finding the users that can assist. Best of luck. And as far as I know - Tesla has to configure on their end so you can use the app. And as...

    Best insurance for Tesla Model S 2018

    AIG - on an agreed value policy. Agreed value is about $15k more than I paid for my Model S over a year ago. Cost was only $100 more than esurance annually.

    Slipstreams to Arachnids

    I'm really regretting turning down the opportunity to buy a new set for $2k. Did I make the wrong move? Should I try and see if I can still get the deal?! I was concerned about the cost of having to replace the bigger tires more often. Just a cost of doing business I'll have to live with?

    Swap 19" for 21"s?

    Sorry - I have the 19" cyclones and looking for the 21" turbines.

    Swap 19" for 21"s?

    Would anybody be interested in swapping 19" turbines for for 21"s? I would throw in cash to sweeten in the deal. Let me know if interested. My are 2017's with about 6/16 left on the original goodyear tires.

    Geez. Where were you when I needed a new set of wheels last year?! I paid twice what you’re asking. If I was local I would buy these and sell the others as spares - you’ll make your money back and have a spare! Good luck with the sale!

    Tesla Buyback for your Model S?

    Wow. I’m about 113k and have had very minor issues. No plans on selling unless like I said - I find a steal on a MX which isn’t likely going to happen anytime soon.

    Tesla Buyback for your Model S?

    Tesla’s are like bitcoin right now - very limited supple and a lot of demand so prices are fluctuating a lot. I haven’t tried to trade mine in and I’m not interested in selling unless I could make a swap for an X.

    2013 Tesla Model S60 - 7 Seater - $47000 (Tysons, VA)

    They are dropped in their for marketing purposes. They could have brought to auction and sold for higher but it keeps buyers coming back to their website to check inventory.

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    Wow - very informative! Which door handle was it (front or rear). I was able to do it without removing the window but it was the rear door. I thought of trying to remove the window but I thought that would be more difficult and I was able to carefully get a 1/4" ratchet up there to remove the...

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    Good to know. After taking everything apart. It seems like the 3 real pieces are the paddle gear, micro switch and of course the motor. I feel pretty confident in the door handles now. When mine failed, I was like crap, there's $1k.... but turned out to be $1 and a little time...

    I haven't had a wire failure but is that something you can pick up at the SC or just solder it back together? Just want to be prepared for the inevitable.

    It’s really a $1.19 and 45 minute fix. I understand if you don’t want to mess with it, specially under warranty. Some string around the door handle works for the time being...

    Okay - I filmed the install of the new paddle gear. I'll work on getting that uploaded today. I didn't have time to film the swap of the door handles. Hopefully that will be done today!

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    Yes! I will film. Was planning on doing it last night but between the kids and the wife, I had to postpone. Should be tonight.... you can for sure do this yourself. My motor ran for about a week before I pulled the wire. To be safe, I would go ahead and unplug the door assembly. It just...
