That tracks what my SC recently told me too. The cabin filter used to be $9... Prices have gone up 😅

Maybe the $425 price includes labor? Or is the cost of the "Bioweapon defense" upgrade that adds this filter + a button to the UI? Yes, that looks right. $425 is the cost to do the bioweapon upgrade if your car didn't come with it from the factory. It includes doing a gateway config change to...

Is that really what they cost? IIRC they used to be $220-$250 from tesla. I just took a peak at the EPC and now see the filter (with the plastic piece) listed at $295. You can see the process to "cut out" and glue in a new filter here in another vendor's video if you do go the 3rd party route...

The tesla under hood filters are glued to a large plastic part, that also gets replaced when you swap them out. 3rd party ones don’t have this part, so presumably just leak air around the filter?

Interesting. I know chargepoint has included such stickers, but I have yet to see anything in code showing it’s required? Can you share a code reference?

Has anyone tried toolbox yet? I have a subscription if anyone wants to give it a go…

Btw, I talked to someone at EverSource, and they indicated that they paid tesla last year (in ~Nov?)… so Tesla has been sitting on these funds for several months now. Hopefully next year goes a bit more quickly with this new system in place now. 🤞

I do not believe this is correct, at least for those of us with PW2s. Solar production during an event not increase your average ESS power contribution. If you have PW+ or PW3 maybe they changed how they are calculate things (because they don’t have a way to differentiate where the energy comes...

I got $2938 this year vs $2265 last year for my 3 PWs.

also, this year’s payout *almost* makes up for tesla taking a year to do my install, not enrolling me in time for the 2021 summer season, and eversource cancelling the winter program entirely before I ever got to participate. Fingers crossed they keep the program going long enough to cover the...

See, this is why we shouldn’t have shared payouts... 😂

I got $2938 this year for my 3 PWs on EverSource in MA. Unlike last season, I was able to have them fully charged before every event this season, so that should be pretty close to the high mark. (I also have grid events prioritized over storm watch). I *think* Eversource increased the payout...

Same here! (And indeed, this ACH account is apparently different than the other one I setup on my account *shrug*)

Same! I also emailed yesterday and have not heard back (eversource, MA here)

I’d be happy to give it a shot… Also, I encourage anyone that did the retrofit but is unable to enable it to open a service ticket. I’d personally push the SC to enable it for free (eg as a warranty or goodwill issue), since there appears to be a “bug” in recent FW versions that prevent DIY...

Tapping on that just takes me to this page in a web browser: https://www.tesla.com/support/energy/virtual-power-plant/connectedsolutions

Nothing yet for me on Eversource; I just added my bank account to the app for good measure though… this is what my VPP page looks like:

That sounds like complete BS unless something under the hood changed very recently… I also don’t really see how they would/could implement that sort of VIN pairing in any reasonable way, nor why they would bother for this component. That seems like a lot of R&D for 0 benefit.

I suspect this is the problem; based on the error message, this looks like a bug where tesla added the homelink config to the list of locked down gateway parameters that “normal” users can’t change. I suspect they’ll fix it in a future release, but definitely a weird one.

I have one… it’s sadly not so easy.

Let me be explicit: If you have #6 NM-B wire for your EVSE: -If your wiring is not run through insulation and your state allows for the full 75C rating of the cable, you can run your EVSE at the full 48A on a 60A breaker -if your wiring *is* run through insulation, or you live in a state where...

I just want to clarify that NM-B in the US and NMD-90 in canada are very similar in terms of both ratings and physical construction. They are both 90C rated Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated (THHN) cable assemblies...

I did not make that mistake. Re-read my posts… I merely said that a 60A breaker is the correct size 99% of the time for #6 NM-B, which it is. The breaker size alone doesn’t really tell you how many continuous amps you can put on the circuit. Do not confuse the “round up” rule (240.4(b)), which...

Given that I’ve already provided proof of exactly this above… I’m in.

How do you read it? And of course they do. The NEC itself is merely a guideline. In the US, it is up to each state (and in some case each city…) to adopt and enforce the code, and at the end of the day, what your inspector/AHJ says trumps even that. Said another way: Each state adopts a...

There is no problem running romex in conduit, nor does such an installation need a de-rating as a result of running it in conduit (and even if it did, you would derate from the 90C column, so it wouldn’t matter here). A 60A breaker is the correct (and code compliant) size breaker for almost all...

It’s more complicated than that even, as some states amend the NEC to change the rules, for example here in MA. The 2020 NEC (NFPA 70) 334.80 paragraph 1 reads: 334.80 Ampacity. The ampacity of Types NM and NMC cable shall be determined in accordance with 310.14. The ampacity shall not exceed...

You should under no circumstances accept $3000. if I were you, I would get a quote from tesla to install a 90kWh pack and demand that from the dealer to make you whole. It will likely be upwards of $20k. Alternative resolutions I would accept: 1) them finding another equivalent model S with a...

Has the MCU ever been rooted? If so, blocking ODIN is pretty common. IIRC, toolbox proxy works by getting an “unlock token” from tesla’s servers and sending that to the MCU periodically to keep the diagnostic Ethernet port “unlocked”. Disable your firewall if you haven’t already, make sure...

The primary reason is because video output is a *much* easier problem to solve than video input today from a technical perspective.

I think they’ve understand that math perfectly well and do a mix of 2 and 3 hour events to limit their overall cost and also maximize the benefit to the grid based on estimated demand curves (after all, tesla PWs are not the only batteries in the program, and others may be better suited to 3...

That’s the way it always works (except for one weird event last year)

System just stopped exporting at 20% even though my reserve was set to 0%. I guess they didn’t change the behavior after all

EverSource MA event stats:

We knew that though! You could consume 100% and export 0 and you would still get full credit. In a way, it makes sense. Either way, you’re offsetting demand on the grid.

Indeed. I also seem to have full control of my PWs atm, which is not normal on the day of an event iirc. My reserve is currently set to 100% to make sure I’m ready for the event. If I drop it, it starts to discharge to my house. If this change is real does that mean my system would not...

Here’s a link to the product/ordering page… https://www.otbmods.com/product-list/hdmi-in (Full disclosure: this is *not* something I will likely have in a shippable form any time soon, but if you want to encourage me to get back to working on it feel free to put a pre-order in 😂)

Need to make it back to HK sometime to visit again!

Never mind, just had to update my app. Working now! Says 557 fleet homes for me (MA Eversource). One interesting note in the detail pane: Specifically, the note to “increase your backup reserve to limit discharge”. That would be completely new behavior (and require me to alter my strategy...

Very much so. Touch has been a tough nut to crack, mainly because of the specific chipset being used, lack of any public drivers for it, and Infineon being… less than helpful to date.

Possible? Yes. You can see a prototype of exactly this in the model pd video. We still have some kinks to work out on any mass market version of it though.

That’s my tech ;-)

I saw some similar screenshots for eversource CT customers. Mine just seems to be blank on EverSource MA though: Does anyone else on EverSource in MA see something similar? Or is it just me?

My 2016 model s just had a partial failure of it’s passenger side eyebrow. Will see how the driver side holds up…

I’ve never heard of an issue with an inspector like this. 50A breaker/40A charge setting and everything should be fine and fully to code.

The statue defines “unreasonable” as a “significant” increase in cost. While “significant” is certainly a subjective term, I would personally put that somewhere between 10-25% more than the install would cost without the additional requirements. If it costs $2k to install the charger, nobody can...

That… doesn’t seem like it would fly with most state laws. The CA law specifically says they cannot impose unreasonable restrictions: “For purposes of this section, “reasonable restrictions” are restrictions that do not significantly increase the cost of the station or significantly decrease...

Generally, yes, you can use the 75C column for TCERJP, though you might have an easier time finding SER.. the exception to this is if you’re running the cable under/through insulation. If so, then you must use the 60C column for ampacity. You can also just run #6 THHN / THWN2 in conduit (even...

Does anyone else have a parking space with a charger already? Do you know which spot(s) would be yours? (And is there any opportunity to swap spaces with someone if doing so would make your charger install less expensive?) Personally? Given that FL law (718.113(8)) says you have a right to...

I wouldn’t mix and match, but I will say I have been running crossclimate 2s on my model s since December and love them.
