    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    Excuse my ignorance on this...Will setting the Conductor Export Control at 32A allow me to still get the 5kW continuous and 7kW peak as stated on the technical data sheet or does this cap the performance of the powerwall in some way?

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    Update: So as a potential solution, since the PV line diagram had 22 panels in 1 bank and 8 panels in another bank, I decided to run the 22 panels through the gateway and terminate on the MSP bus. The remaining 8 panels will go to the solar ready breaker, removing that backfeed from the MSP...

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    We decided to go with the solution provided by Vines (thank you!). Once the gateway is installed, will the app tell you how much energy is returned to the load center?

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    By the way, the single Powerwall is meant to power only critical loads for a short duration during a power outage and not meant to provide whole house backup.

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    With a Solar ready load center you do not have to derate the panel because the solar breaker bypasses the busbar. That was the whole point. It back feeds back to the main input. The issue from Siemens is that the solar breaker cannot receive backfeed AND push power to charge the Powerwall. I...

    Tesla Powerwall 2 and PV System install with Solar Ready Load Center...Advice needed...

    I just moved into a house and contracted with a Solar Company in CA just before the Net Energy Metering deadline passed. The house is a large one and I am contracted to receive 30 400-watt panels (Panasonic) with Enphase IQ8 inverters. I am also adding a Powerwall 2. My solar installer and my...

    Update 2018.50.6: playing MP3 from USB stopped working

    @memcd, I have the same issue. Would rather have playable mp3’s on an improved player GUI than another TeslAtari game or fart noises.

    Is this a good deal??

    Agreed, motor value in P85D is better, but fixed on AP2 low miles, and new front fascia (don't want aftermarket front either)

    Is this a good deal??

    screen discoloration

    Mine "Golden Ring" just started a couple weeks ago. 3/2017 MS. Had temp shifts, but not huge since I am in California. Scheduled for 12.5K mile service in 2 days. Worried they will not have parts to replace at that time. Bet it was a bad batch of screens.

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    The laws have changed significantly in the past couple years (that post was from 2015) and most laws are based on height rather than weight. In California, the minimum height is 4'9 or taller. Here is the ruling: Children under the age of 8 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat in the...

    Picking up my S tomorrow!

    After 6 years of watching the development from concept to reality, 4 years of hearing my brother talk about how awesome the car is, 1 year mulling over the decision to make the large purchase, and 3 months of actual waiting after the order was placed, I picked up my Tesla Model S 75D last...

    California Tax Rebate ending for some...

    @SMAIset, you are correct. It had not changed yet and since I don't stay on top of every legislative change, I had no reason to think that it would change. I had not seen anything during my research on the car itself to indicate California was changing, then again, I started my research quite...

    California Tax Rebate ending for some...

    @No2DinosaurFuel, that sounds pretty sad when you think that there aren't enough doctors in this country given the increase in the number of people who now have access to healthcare and the fact that despite our technology, we still deliver poorer healthcare than some 3rd World nations because...

    California Tax Rebate ending for some...

    Thanks for the refresh @tenstringer009 . I don't remember if that was there when I ordered at the end of last year. I agree completely with subsidizing less financially well off individuals for EV purchases. But people with lower incomes are not likely to buy a new Tesla, all things...

    California Tax Rebate ending for some...

    Well, of course I don't make decisions based on a 25 year old in showroom but I can admit that the advertisements and information given is a bit misleading. I assume everyone who bought a Tesla on this forum didn't research the Rebate restrictions. I just got a rebate for my wife's Volvo...

    California Tax Rebate ending for some...

    Purchased my Tesla and waited for production. Picked up 2 days ago and have been living the dream since. Thought I'd go to the California Rebate site to apply for my Rebate that Tesla clearly lists as an advantage to purchasing the car (they even calculate your "final price" by subtracting...

    4g upgrade

    Do new 2017 models come with 4G already or do we also have to upgrade?

    No ventilated seats as promised

    The ventilated/perforated seats were discontinued sometime between Jan 1 and Jan 15. I ordered a MS on 12/31 and another on Jan 15. One has it and the other does not. I was told that the seats were discontinued by the time I ordered the second one. There is an article on Teslarati.com that...

    Business purchase and the $7500 FEDERAL tax credit

    Also on line 10 on form 8936, it looks like you can only claim $2500 for business use. I think the full deduction only applies to personal use.

    Business purchase and the $7500 FEDERAL tax credit

    Same thang happened to me when I tried to claim the credit on my wife's Volvo XC90 T8. Instead of a $4600 credit, it listed a $2500 credit. I was adamant and my accountant reviewed the Form 8936 in his tax software. You have to make sure to list the battery kWh and the credit should apply...

    From "Entering Production" to Schedule Delivery!

    Got the call last night that my MS75D went from "Entering Production" to ready to take delivery on 3/30! My Tesla is still in "Entering Production" status and not updated. If financing through Alliant, what happens at this point. Do I just show up with a checkbook and sign docs. Haven't...

    Base Model S comes with or without Auto Pilot?

    Your explanation was very helpful. Thank you!

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    I wonder what would happen if you walked in with a Go-Pro and asked to film the delivery experience for your YouTube channel? Those videos always seem to make the experience seem like an awesome event. I bet the experience would be better to say the least.

    What tax form to fill out to get the credit of $7,500

    The income cap was lowered for cars purchased after 10/31. If you make over 300K (Joint filers) and 150K (Single filers), you can kiss the California rebate bye.

    Switching from ventilated to solid seats

    Ventilated and perforated seats have been removed. All orders placed somewhere near 1/15/17 were switched to non-perf seats. Since you can't have ventilated without perforated, ventilated seats went away, too. I communicated with my delivery specialist who explained the situation to me. He...

    Model S Seats

    This may have been discussed, but I'd like opinions on the new premium seats. I am one of the last to get the perforated/ventilated seats (tan PUP) but I don't know if I prefer the non-ventilated seats better. Tesla discontinued the ventilated/perforated seats. Looking for people's experiences...

    Delivery specialists' role

    Going on 3 weeks and my DS has not returned any emails (simple questions). I find the process so far to be unsatisfying when you factor in the wait. I don't think the process will get any better once the Model 3 production begins (500,000 orders strong now). Anybody have any similar...
