I think the post above might have accidentally mis-typed that number. From this page, I believe it ends is 7652: Powerwall Customer Support

No, sorry, 1% is definitely not enough "room to charge". As I mentioned above, I didn't see the drop in frequency until I had 10-15% capacity, and even then the frequency was still ~62Hz (not standard 60Hz).

I believe @MorrisonHiker likely hit on the core issue. When backup-only, I don't see a full 100% which to me makes sense because you don't want to keep the batteries at 100% charge for an extended period of time. By contrast, when I run with time-based control, I always see 100% charge which I...

I've seen similar behavior to what you describe and I believe it is primarily or entirely due to the charge state of the Powerwalls. I have a plug-in Kill-a-watt meter which showed 65Hz at night, when no sun was out, when my Powerwalls were 99% charged. After my Powerwalls had discharged by...

I do have storm watch on, but have not touched it and I'm in Southern California where it seems highly, highly unlikely that storm watch would have even accidentally been triggered yesterday. My Powerwalls are outside, though temps were only mid-70's (F) but I'll call & find out what may have...

Below is the image for the day. For those unfamiliar, the green is the PowerWall which you can see charging from about 7:30am until about noon when it reached 100%. You'll note the Powerwall properly kicks in at 4pm to match the house usage as the solar decreases, but then it drops to zero as I...

See the two images below for reference . . . I have time-of-use setup with peak hours 4-9pm with the preference set for cost savings. The first screenshot below shows 6:24pm (in the middle of the peak range) and the house only wanting to use 4.4kW of electricity. I have multiple Powerwalls...

I want to share a picture of how we mounted a toll road transponder in our Model 3. This is particularly useful if you have any film on your front windshield or you simply don't like look of a (typically) white transponder stuck to your front windshield. My wife took some dark paper then cut &...

@DWhatley You can also leave your car unlocked by creating a new profile (as I did) which does NOT use the setting to lock upon walking away. I still have to remember to select that profile when I exit the car, but as long as I do that, the car remains unlocked.

@Sonic_78 My wife generally feels, or at least felt, the same as yours. I suggest you make the point that driving today and in the future will have far more distractions than ever in the past. As humans, we all have far too many distractions from technology or bad days or we can "zone out"...

See the image below which shows an orange-ish tint across the top of the windshield, mostly in the area where we have the normal darker tint. It is generally only visible when there is rain/dew/water on the glass. This orange-ish color also appears on the top glass panels of the falcon wing...

Is the trailer brake controller connection "always on" (like the OBD port) such that it will support BlackVue's parking mode, or does it turn off?

I recently experienced the “orange ring” problem but luckily found a simpler cause & solution. Apparently someone had let the supercharger connector fall to the ground where it managed to pick up a small pebble (or piece of loose asphalt). This was preventing it from being pushed in all the way...

I respectfully but completely disagree. This is not some mass produced piece which will sell miillions of units by/from an established company who already has its own manufacturing, sales, marketing, & distribution/shipping channels. @David77 is effectively a friend, doing us all a favor. How...

Search Amazon for "gfci tester" and you'll see a number of devices in the $5-$10 range that will let you test. Perhaps you've already considered this, but do you have an electric drier anywhere closer to your garage? You could use that outlet and charge much faster than the products described...

FYI, I received mine with 265's in front & 275's in the rear. I don't know how Tesla decides, though I assume contributing factors are the wheel size (mine are 20's), tire choice (mine are the Continentals), motor size/power (e.g. 60/75 vs. 90 vs P90). At this point I'm assuming everything is...

@UnpluggedP Do you have any data, even if it's not exactly scientific, on how this improves the range? For example, anecdotally the factory 20" wheels improve range from 5% to as much as 10% (anecdotally). I have the factory 20" wheels and am curious if there is a similar benefit to these 20"...

Ummm, this is an incorrect statement. Perhaps you meant to say that Tesla has not offered the Weathertech-specific mats yet, but numerous others are available. I've had the Lloyd's Rubbertite mats for a long time now, offered in many colors (which will never happen with the Tesla ones). The...

All of the quality films will cut the overwhelming majority (99+%) of UV rays. If you care primarily about the UV protection and want "almost no" tint, something like Llumar's AIR 90 still or 3M Crystalline 90 cuts the UV just as well as any of the darker tinted films. Just search these forums...

The film is not install "underneath" anything when the mirror is not removed. The installers cut around the mirror and conduit. Even if an installer prefers to remove the mirror and conduit, you still don't want the film installed under anything or else a later removal of the mirror or conduit...

Prior to having my windows tinted, we used a meter on the driver side window and saw 90%, implying a 10% light reduction. I can't say/don't know if that means it was specifically a tint or just a slight reduction due to the glass, but the fancy meter showed the equivalent of a 10% reduction. We...

I haven't paid attention, but we're good about wearing our seat belts all the time so I would think so. Is your suspicion about the front seat belt based on your experience or having read something else about it? If there's another thread with info I'd love to read that.

For anyone that already has a Dometic cooler, have any of you owned a thermoelectric cooler and how would you advise someone when considering a purchase? For anyone unfamiliar with the simpler thermoelectric coolers, here's a Coleman one just for reference: 40 Quart PowerChill™ Hot/Cold...

There are a number of situations in which I'm puzzled and/or frustrated by when the vehicle turn off despite having a key fob and person in the vehicle. Allow me to give a few use cases: My wife & I are both in our MX, both with our keys, and I'm driving. I get out of car for a few minutes...

When thinking about the cargo space, keep in mind that more height is available in the 5-seater when you remove the load floor. With the floor in place, you are limited to about 25 inches of height at the lowest point. Removing the load floor gives you much more height. I believe it's about 8...

I wish Tesla would *ALWAYS* show the next event/action/turn on the dashboard display, rather than only displaying such information when you are close to a turn. It seems reasonable to always know, "What's next?" in any navigation display. For example, when driving down the freeway, I would like...

@ryantank Where do you see the tongue weight limit is 120lbs? I believe most people consider it to be 500lbs, though this other thread shows it to be 350-500 depending on wheel size: Model X Towing a Boat

@macd1995 Are you asking for something other than the trip information which can be displayed on the dash? Perhaps I completely mis-understand your desire, but this sounds like you might simply need to change your dashboard display to "Trips" by pressing & holding on the scroller on either side...

If you consider the Lloyd's Rubbertite mats (which I also have on every possible surface), be aware that they do come in quite a few colors. Some vendors appear to only offer one or two, and I wanted plain black anyway, but there are more colors than some vendors offer on their website...

I use two printed signs (normal white paper, mounted on cardboard) that I put on either side of my dog crate. Since the MX back windows are already so dark, I thought it better to draw less attention (than a sign on the window) and I presume that if someone is truly looking in at the dog & crate...

After re-training from my remotes, everything was rock solid and both opened & closed 100% of the time for the past 1-2 months *UNTIL* the most recent firmware update (17.26.76). Now it is flaky again, failing to open or close 30-50% of the time. I need to try re-training and see if it goes back...

@ckwong I like to leave my keys just inside the door from our garage so I bought a "Faraday bag". Just search Amazon for the cheapest one you care to get, and you can search for "Faraday Cage" (Faraday cage - Wikipedia) for general information if you're not familiar with the concept. @RR...

This sounds like your keyfob was within range of the vehicle. I'm guessing but it would explain the behavior (A/C would stay on if you were in the car with the keyfob), and I've experienced exactly that even when I thought my keyfob was far enough away. Perhaps there are times when the keyfob...

I experienced that once. After about a minute, while continuing to drive, the display locked up and no display controls worked for me to change anything. A few moments later everything was back to normal. I assumed the console had crashed and rebooted itself.

@Seagram Check out this other thread: 5 seaters, how is your load floor supported behind the 2nd row? There you will see what a number of us have. My service center didn't know what was going on for a while, but by now your service center should definitely know. Bring a printout of that other...

I suggest you start out driving slowly (even below any 70mph speed limit) and draft (safely) behind a truck as soon as possible and for the first 1/2 (or more) of the distance. In the later part of the trip, if you're feeling comfortable, only then drive faster and stop drafting. This is better...

I installed a film on my windshield. I originally selected Llumar Air 80 but ended up going with the Prestige film. The installer did NOT remove the rear view mirror & front-facing cameras. Instead he cut the film around the front-facing cameras so there is nothing in the way of the cameras nor...

In an attempt to put a nice bow on this thread, I did download the "Bluetooth Phonebook" app for Android (Bluetooth Phonebook - Android Apps on Google Play) which was referenced in the other thread and it solved the issue. I was fearful that I might have to disconnect or re-sync my phone but...

I haven't yet driven in TX or FL heat, but my current summary is that you can manually make it work. It's disappointing that the automatic fan doesn't provide an even distribution of cool air, but you can manually turn up the fan and manually close or point the front vents to get more air to the...

It doesn't appear that I/we can navigate to the address of a contact from my phone (w/Android 7 if that matters). We can navigate to the location of a calendar entry, but I don't seem to be able to even display the address of a contact. Am I missing something, or are addresses for contacts (from...

@hill No difference in ghosting. Ironically I'm getting photosync put on tomorrow so I share your fear of a future crack.

I too had one of those cracks, within a few days of taking delivery. I was driving down a road when the sun came out from behind the clouds for the first time since I had the car and when the windshield warmed up a bit . .. . CRACK! At first I just wanted to cry. It was about 1 inch right where...

Currently the dashboard navigation screen only shows the next turn when you get close to the turn. Until that point, the dash display shows a map, but no turn instructions. For clarity, let me show two pictures. This first shows the dash while navigating but the next turn is not imminent so it's...

I just got mine on Thursday (just haven't had a chance to post anything about them yet). Mine do have the leather straps to lift the floor panels. I don't like it on the larger panel since it really does stick up and doesn't allow things to be totally flat, particularly under the Lloyd's...

@ALLMYNE As you read more of these forums and gain more first-hand experience, you'll find that your wh/mile will change based on a LOT of different factors, including/especially the temperature and speed you drive (cold & fast/freeway driving => much higher energy usage). I mention this only so...

@Okgo Please tell us what film you used. Given that you mentioned the 20% reduction, I'm guessing it's likely Llumar's AIR 80. Is it? I'm also about to add that to my windshield. As mentioned above, the temperature of the glass surface is likely to heat up because all these ceramic tints...

The previous several posters are absolutely right. As my post & picture above points out, the obsidian "black" is more likely to take on a blue or purple or other tint. That's not for everyone, and even I occasionally tilt my head and think to myself, "Purple???". The standard black is...

I have experienced the same (frustrating) problem, though I haven't been able to reproduce the root cause. When my Tesla Homelink fails to operate from the Tesla (either auto-open, auto-close, or a manual open/close), pressing the Homelink button 4-8 times (additional) gets a single open/close...

The comfort of the 2nd row seats is subjective, but the utility of the different configurations is pretty clear. The 6-seater can carry more people (perhaps more comfortably, but comfort is still subjective). The 5-seater can carry more "stuff" and larger "stuff" (e.g. dog crates). You need to...

I went with obsidian black because I subjectively felt it had a bit more depth to it, and I thought it reflected other colors better. For example, in this picture, it looks almost purple in places because it's picking up some of the blue of the sky, and the reflection of the trees on the hood...
