What massive JERKS for screwing up solar with the NEM 3.0. That said, I have 3 Powerwalls and would be getting fewer panels so I shouldn't be sending any power back to the grid.. this still apply here?

I'm in the Los Angeles area on Southern California Edison and have a question about getting Tesla Solar and whether it's worth it. We currently have 3 Tesla Powerwalls (which were free referral prizes) but NO solar. We use them to store cheap off-peak power (we are on time of use TOU-D-PRIME...

Had the same issue. Cameras replaced on AP 2.0 car in July. App said car is ineligible and then got the email that the cameras are ready. Took car to service and they replaced just ONE camera. The ineligible warning went away and immediately got FSD Beta. Now have to wait for 99% calibration to...

Lots of progress here. See photos. 36 more stations with solar canopy. My question is: what’s this smaller building in the back? Bathrooms? Something else??

First, @Chuq thank you but more than one person’s lobbying effort :) and regarding that meeting, 8 hours and 15 minutes. They didn’t overtly mention this project but did grandfather in the projects already approved... before saying the want to rezone the entire city for low income housing!!

GOOD NEWS!!! I have been lobbying the city council very aggressively but politely, focusing on the facts. You heard it here first: council just told me they'll be grandfathering this project next week and reversing their rejection - project to be formally approved next week...

Teslarati wrote about it as well: Tesla's 62 stall Santa Monica V3 Supercharger hits speed bump, LA housing crisis takes priority I know the Councilmembers here -- they've gone full socialist/commie, even the ones recently elected claiming they're pro business. This poor landowner -- his land...

Sadly ok all gone !

I have one of these for sale — immaculate condition - please PM me. I suspect they’re pretty rare?

Can’t deduct against W2 income. Only against income for the particular business to thick it’s designated. And has to be your own business on schedule C or LLC or S Corp. Be careful. Know the rules. Ask here but also ask accountant. I have a phenomenal and cheap guy in CA state if anyone needs a...

same EXACT car (2017 S75 with FSD computer) and JUST got the request the same time! Haha. Please post your release notes as I’m too lazy to go to my garage :)

Anyone try Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings via the browser on MCU2? Debating whether to upgrade to MCU2 for this. Also wondering if zoom video would continue while in drive. Would be a game changer for me!

Yeah, this. The argument that you had to work to earn referrals therefore it's untaxable doesn't work -- because you get paid for work and you pay tax on that work. Now if you gave test drives in your Tesla to prospective referral customers and documented the miles you spent on those referral...

They’re all in their Accountants’ offices panicking that they owe federal and state tax on the value of the car they just “won”. If you’re high income in California, that could be well over 50% of the retail value of the car.

got a set brand new $3000 Santa Monica. Close to you!

Still available :)

$3000 is the price. Thanks for the heads up! Santa Monica Service Center manager said she’ll try to work with my buyer since installation is supposed to be included. I’ve sent them a lot of business over the years, so we’ll see.

READY FOR IMMEDIATE PICKUP IN SANTA MONICA (no shipping) LOWEST PRICE ON OFFERUP Retails for $6000 PLUS TAX (total $6600) from Tesla directly (plus backordered) Tesla Model S 21” BLACK Arachnid Wheel and Tire Package These are OEM black, NOT powder coated like others being sold on OfferUp...

When Summon and AutoPark first came out for AP2.0, like on day one of release, our car autoparked into a concrete pole in the parking garage at around 10pm. Called Tesla and in 30 minutes they’d reviewed videos and sensor data and admitted “fault”. Half an hour later, tow truck took away the...

correct! People don’t realize this. They’ll sell their fully depreciated business vehicle in 6, 7, even 10 years and then take a tax hit. Why? Because according to the IRS, a fully depreciated asset is worth $0. So anything you get for selling it is considered business profit. No such thing as a...

Yes. My early 2017 S75 with AP2.0 just got on that note, everyone PLEASE post when you get the notification (include a screenshot of app), then when complete, followed by a post with the release notes. Let’s get this thread to 30,000 posts!!!!!

Once they swap MCU1 for MCU2, do you get to keep your old MCU1? I’d like to keep it to tinker with. It’s mine after all, right? How about the HW2.5 computer?

Yep -- Tesla Energy as well as Daerik, the Tesla YouTube stars who have won 4 red powerwall... no 1099 for them either. Not happening...

They have NOT sent a 1099 to anyone who’s gotten a referral PW yet! Word is they might not.

One can but, again, because it’s not available for retail sale (red is just for winners), some are arguing that you can value them at $0. Hmmmm.

Has anyone gotten a 1099 for this?? I never got and my accountant can’t process taxes without. I heard that the might NOT issue 1099 because the referral Powerwalls are red, therefore NOT available to the public, and Tesla can simply value them as $0. Please let me know! Thanks!

In the situation of a lease, you’re forced to return it without ever having received what you paid for. At least when you purchased it, you can technically wait...forever. That’s why I wonder if leased cars should refund the FSD cost...

So just realized that there must now be people who purchased AP2 + FSD back in late 2016 or early 2017, when AP2 was first announced with the “full self driving” video, who were on a 3 year lease and now have had to return the car without EVER getting the FSD features they paid for. Are they...

Very interested and would buy immediately all cash but: 1. You’re in Murietta and I’m in West LA so it’s a bit of a schlep (to say the least) and 2. Going rate for these is historically substantially lower (you can read past posts on here to see what they were listed for and what they went for...

THANK YOU! Is it the newer slipstream style or the original double spoke style? Any wheel damage (like curb rash etc)? May very well be interested... thanks!

Hello, I am interested in a set of new or almost new 19” Model S Slipstream wheels and tires (not winter). In Los Angeles. Happy to pay cash in person. If you have taken yours off for aftermarket wheels or Arachnids, please let me know! PM is easier. Thanks!!

Interested but in Los Angeles. Willing to ship? If not, is anyone in LOS Angeles area or SoCal selling these??

Browser remains junk. Sorry!! I think we need new MCU for that. Regarding regen, haven’t driven enough to tell. It had been sucking for some time - you’re right about that!!

VERY few MCU1 cars have gotten. Somehow we got lucky, then again I was a Cybertruck and Roadster/Semi invitee so maybe I’m on some list??

SAME on 2017 Model A AP2.0 FSD MCU1!!!!!

So... will this work on MCU1? also looks like the FSD preview is ONLY visualizations but the car won’t yet drive itself. Many baby steps toward the final product!!

If AP2.0 owners are indeed left high and dry for good, class action lawyers will also be saying “go F yourself”. They’d better have a plan to make FSD functional on all vehicles for which it was promised and paid for. Many of us are now 3 years into ownership of FSD-equipped AP2.0 cars that we...

Everything. Floor mats. Electricity for the car. Insurance. Paint protection wrap. Window tint. Etc!!

Yeah so that's what I am wondering... I don't have solar and while I am using the Powerwall battery during peak time, I even see sometimes the power going back into the grid, but at a limited level. Since I have 3 Powerwall and only use 10-15% of that combined stored energy during peak-time...

So let’s resurrect this thread. i just got 3 free red Powerwalls installed from the referral program. I’m in SCE territory on TOU-D-PRIME rate plan without solar and have 2 Tesla EVs. My Powerwalls are set to time of use to do some energy arbitrage. During the 4-9pm peak time period for SCE...

I’m disappointed. Not enough people are posting: -I’m waiting for the update -Here’s the version I’m on now -can someone (re)post release notes -will this give FSD to pre-AP or AP1 cars? -I’m downloading it now! -Downloaded but can’t drive yet - will post thoughts tomorrow -Downloaded, drove...

I am selling a NEW, bagged (by the local service center), set of 4 21" Forged, Staggered Tesla Model S Arachnid Wheels with Michelin Pilot SuperSport Tires AND TPMS included, NEVER MOUNTED, never scratched or dropped, for $2700 cash or Venmo. Located in Santa Monica, in Los Angeles County. For...

Yes. Rules changed and used now eligible.

BTW I’ve been owed THREE red Powerwalls for a long time. Finally was was contacted 6 months ago to start the process. We are STILL in the permit process with the city, multiple Redesigns, and THEN we have to go through process with the local utility who is demanding I add them to homeowners...

I registered under me and got regular non commercial policy since I’m not hauling products or people. Accountant was ok since it’s single member S Corp. but I’m not accountant so ask yours.

In my case, none of the above -- but best to ask accountant because your situation might differ.

Correct. BUT having a corporation dramatically reduces your chance of audit. Generally because regular individuals will cheat on taxes far more than corporations because corporations presumably have accountants and others watching over and have much more to lose. That said, always be squeaky...

What a real shame... would have been so nice and it’s another promise unfulfilled (this one of the drive in restaurant with car hops). I know they have a lot on their plate and another SC station nearby, but that station is hard to reach and in a paid garage...

Darn I got 3 Powerwalls recently but they said you cannot apply the $ Toward a car! Otherwise I would have gotten a 3 for nearly nada! Oh well!

I’ve missed you Buttershrimp Thanks to you I’m an 8Ball/MJG addict!
