There is never any rush to pay I believe. My bill was ready over 5-6 weeks ago and I just paid it last Thu. As far as I know, the payment of the bill has no impact on the PTO .

Thanks. This makes me feel a little better. Good info there since my wife will most likely want access to the App as well.

I can confirm this as well. My story was a little different in some regard. Tesla initially submitted a screen capture of the my local approval to ComEd, ComEd of course rejected it and told them they needed another version. Meanwhile, Tesla was telling me it's in ComEd's hands. I called the...

Interesting to know not too many people are in this same situation. So far I haven't seen or been communicated a plan. I sent an email to my Sr Permit & Inspection Coordinator last Thu to no reply. Today I also sent the email to the project manager and help@tesla. So far, no reply except...

I had my system installed over a week ago and on three different attempts, they could not get one optimizer to communicate. What normally happens when this occurs? I still haven't paid the final invoice yet. I had 23 panels installed but only 22 are registering.

After I bought lunch for the crew and provided them with drinks, I made sure they didn't leave without me snapping a picture of the codes and layout. They knew from the beginning of the project I wanted that data. If you didn't pay, could you hold back payment?

Just as an FYI, I had my install yesterday and received the codes and the layout. I was told I could set up a solaredge account for monitoring without any issues but if I choose the installer account, which Tesla told me was ok, I would lose the ability to see usage on the Tesla app itself...

Good info. My project lead (think that was his title) mentioned the same. He said that a device would need an ethernet port preferably on the back of the router. He also mentioned that some mesh wi-fi routers don't work so well with those devices. I was also told that if in fact customers...

Does each inverter need to be connected to ethernet to get the layout you are showing here for either the installer account or monitoring account? It is noted they need a hard wire access, but how does one get ethernet on their roof? Or is it just one device that needs to be hardwired which in...

What happened?

Any checklist you can share?

I have an install next Thu. I'll be asking for this.

Is there any way to check to see if the App is reporting correct data immediately after the install? Would rather not have the installers leave if the App doesn't work.

The smart meter account via ComEd? Can you share how your account shows higher production? Thanks. Install is scheduled in about 2 weeks. How long did it take to get turned on after the inspection?

I'm getting panels installed in 2 weeks here in IL. I've always wondered when I see non-Tesla panels in my area if the installers pocket those credits, if you know what I mean. I was told to look at PV Watts. When I look there and use the same parameters Tesla did, the output is way higher...

Thanks all. No Powerwalls getting installed so hoping for a 1-2 hour downtime. Agreed, with an entire household on electronics of some sort, there is no good time for power to be out. Would be nice if Tesla came with a generator for people to use in instances like this. Kudos to those who...

I was ready to set up my appointment online for panels in IL. Total size is 7.82 kw with 23 panels. There was a disclosure on the site saying power may have to be turned off for up to 8 hours. What is the typical time you all had when doing an install and is that time relative to the size or...

Order placed......

That pic looks pretty bad. How can they even sell that and state it's within spec. That looks terrible man. Sorry.

I posted a similar reply in an IL specific thread. Here is my proposed layout for a home in IL. ComEd as the power company, with net metering, limits the output to 110% of last 12 months usage. For me that was right around 10,594. Tesla advised me that ComEd uses PV Watts to determine...

I actually used the same parameters as Tesla did. They did change the pitch and azimuth from the defaults. It just seems like a huge underestimate.

I placed the order for the larger size and it was modified - no real big surprise there. What I did find out is that my PV Watts max output per ComEd is 10,594 kwh. That does seem to correlate to my last 12 months +/- 10%. Tesla estimated a system at 7.82kw producing 8,511 kwh per year. When...

Thanks for all the info here. I don't think ComEd will budge on the 110%. There is even some fine print that states if you don't have 12 months of usage they use some type of average. I'll order the larger system then call as suggested. How long should I wait until I phone them after the...

Hi, I'm ready to place an order on the site for panels here in IL. From what I've read , the IL block program incentives come off the top making it more palatable from a cost standpoint. We also have net metering available to us in IL and I'm already on the hourly rate with ComEd. I used...

Are you also on net metering with the Powerwall? Interested in hearing how the Powerwall is working out. Power rarely goes out where I live, so I"m contemplating the Powerwall purchase. Also, did ComEd approve the original plans or did you need to modify based off last 12 months of usage...

Is the basic premise for us folks here in IL that a Powerwall is not needed given we have net metering? I've lived in my house for 14 years and only had a few power outages that lasted at most 2 hours. I'm close to pulling the trigger here given the credit and block program for IL...

Isn't the price for the 8.16 $16,400 (today it is at least). Changes the calculations slightly. I'm looking into solar as well in IL. I'm on ComEd as well - their RRTP plan. The state incentive coupled with the federal credit, makes solar within reach for most people.

Thanks for all this info. I may take you up on your offer to call you on the side and check out your install. I'm on their site now and it looks like for 8.16 kw with 2 PowerWalls comes out to $17,000 after incentives. Did Tesla knock off the federal credit too off the top? Also, I've been...

Interesting to hear ranges on the 75. Almost makes me jealous. I have a 13 month old showroom 75 with about 10k miles and my 90% is 213. Not complaining per se, but seeing these numbers in this thread makes me think I'm doing something wrong. I charge to 90% in the winter and 80% other...

My 7 yr old would love to see a "biker gang" appear on the console - I can only imagine his face. Could an easter egg be a biker gang causing shenanigans with a trucker gang :)

If the brochure is still available, that would be great. Never received an IM from you yesterday.

I'll take a brochure. Thanks.

On 39.6 with a low battery if that is a common factor.

Odd, same with me. Started my commute with streaming, then about 5 minutes in, it stopped. Got to my destination and rebooted but nothing happened. Had to catch a train.

Assuming it doesn't make a lot of sense to purchase FSD on a leased vehicle but interested in hearing thoughts.

No I am too and I’m concerned. I took delivery in Nov 2017 and consistently received updates every 6 weeks or so. I haven’t had an update since 4/2. I did get the new navigation update though a few weeks ago. I called the SC and they confirmed there was no pending or stuck download. They...

I second what @PwrOutage said. This is the one item I would hands down pay for. Being able to charge the car when the price falls below, let's say .02 cents, is a great feature to have. On the reverse, being able to stop charging it once the price goes high, would also be a great feature...

Last time I had autopilot on a 2 lane road, I noticed the wheel move slightly to the right as well. Never thought it was due to the oncoming cars approaching from the opposite lane. Interesting observation.

Is it fair to say for example that the P90D mentioned in this thread located in Chicago, can be viewed at one of the service centers in the Chicago area? Is is possible to find out where the car is located, view it, and if it looks good, put the deposit down? It would give the buyers...

Is the reasoning for the storms related to electrical issues that may arise?

I just had Xpel on the hood, paint correction, and CQuartz on the entire car. Total was $2,900. I asked the owner if I tipped the guys $100 if that would be cool and he said yeah for sure. It’s a long job for sure, so hopefully someone takes care of them from an hourly perspective.

You guys all trust non Tesla tire shops? I’d be paranoid. Is it as simple as just jacking the car up and placing new tires on it? I’m surrounded by tire shops but never once thought of using them for the Tesla. Am I over reacting?

If it helps, here is my experience, also being in the Chicago area. I took delivery in Nov 2017 and figured I would just drive to the local supercharger about 10 miles away for my charging purposes. I only drive 12 miles round trip daily so this seemed like a logical plan. That was...until...

You better take this or someone else will. Killer deal.

Seems crazy yes. My thought process was that there is a great chance I'd keep the car. I drive less than 10,000 miles per year and while newer cars will of course come and go, in 3 years, fingers crossed, there will be nothing wrong with my car. Perhaps I'll wait until the lease is up, then...

What actually determines a high residual? I'm currently leasing a 16k discounted 2017 75 RWD showroom car. I thought I read in another thread that the residuals on these types of cars was wasn't as high as a normal lease without a discount. I'm also debating getting paint protection. My...

Is it not possible to unplug the 750 while it's parked in a garage?

Excellent explanations and very useful data. So basically there is nothing to worry about it seems. Wanted to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary on the car, or with my electric, was the root cause.

When instances like this occur, can any tow truck tow our car to a station, or does it have to be a Tesla certified tow truck (if one exists).

Hi, I’ve been seeing some strange behavior with my home charging using the HPWC. I have a S 70 with 48 amp onboard. As you can see the first times I charged the vehicle, I was charging at 48 amps almost consistently. The last charges though have all been close to 46 amps. Is this normal...
