    PG&E TOU pricing useless in winter?

    Don't know if it's been discussed, but TOU-C pricing in the off season is basically the same price all day long (23c off peak, 25c peak pricing under baseline). As a result, Tesla doesn't bother discharging/charging the PW, which is probably great for their longevity with less cycles used...

    trunk pet liner/barrier

    Does anybody have a recommendation for a pet liner/barrier for the trunk? My border heeler gets excited and ends up putting his paws on the top of the rear seats. Does anybody make a net or a trunk liner that goes over the top of the rear seats?

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    Curious to see whether any CT reservation holder is switching to a Rivian after seeing the initial reviews. I have to say that the Rivian looks really really good, though becomes quite expensive if opting for the max pack. I'm probably stick with the CT anyway, but I'm interested in getting...

    PG&E discrepancy between amount exported to grid and amount credited to NEM

    I apologize if it's been discussed but here it goes. I had a solar system installed in 2014. In 2020, I had 2 Powerwalls installed. Earlier this year, I got my PTO for an expansion of my solar system. When looking at the detail bill for my NEM, I see the following issue for my latest bill...

    Trade in values are getting really high

    I keep looking online and my December 2018 3 Awd with FSD is now worth $42k for trade in with Tesla. It's up $2k over a couple months ago. Makes buying a Y really tempting.

    Solar roof wiring?

    I'm curious. How are solar roofs wired? I imagine that the tiles are connected in series to form multiple strings? If so, does partial shading kill the string production? Does anyone know?

    Potential tax credit impact on prices

    With the potential $7000 tax credit, this may hurt the resale value of Tesla for a while.

    So what's the capacity of the latest battery?

    Read somewhere that a model 3 battery pack is now 82KWh. The LR+ is rated at 288Wh/m and 402 miles, which implies a 115KWh battery. Am I missing something? Is my math wrong?

    They're cranking

    Just passed by the factory Sunday evening around 6pm to supercharge. Parking lots were full and the holding lot was buzzing with big rigs picking up new cars. Looks like they're working 24/7/365 producing cars.

    Change in used Tesla warranty

    Looking at the website, it looks like the used Tesla warranty is now only 1 year, 10,000 miles beyond existing warranty. The old CPO program keeps getting worse and worse. When I bought my CPO S back in 2017, car was refurbished and came with 4 year/50,000 miles. That additional warranty came...

    PW not charging every day

    I have my PW set to cost savings (PGE time of use pricing). As best as I can tell, it looks like the PW are charging in the morning every other day. They charged yesterday to 100% and dropped maybe to 60%. This morning, they did not charge at all (despite getting plenty of sun shine on my...

    Where are they going to build the truck?

    Fremont is full, so ain't happening there. It has to be in Sparks, NV. They now have two years to build extra space and ramp up a brand new production line. Gonna be tight. Not to mention that the battery production has to at least double at the same time.

    PW and Enphase micro inverters?

    NorCal resident thinking about installing 2 PW. Got 7000W on the roof. My solar installer is telling me that PW does not work well with Enphase and that frequencies are unstable. He is steering me toward a LG plus inverter. Any feedback from this knowledgeable crowd?

    3 is great to go up to the mountains

    Left Fremont last night with 288 miles, charged in Rocklin for 15 mns, and arrived in Truckee with 17%. Drove around 75mph and inside temp was 68. Outside temps dropped into the teens as we got up. No range anxiety and EAP did most of the driving. I know, nothing new there, but I had to say...

    Used Tesla inventory less than expected

    Based on ev-cpo website, it looks like the number of used Tesla in inventory is dwindling slowly. We used to see big spikes in inventory post quarter end, but not this time. Are they sending all their trade in directly to auction?

    Anyone driven from SF bay area to Truckee in X75D?

    We have an S85 and have driven it to the mountains many times. We're thinking about moving to an X early next year, but I'm debating whether to spring for the 100D or stick with a 75D. Any firsthand experience feedback would be great.

    Install question

    I have ordered one powerwall and I am being told that I cannot hook up my main house subpanel to it. Apparently I need to only hook up critical loads to the PW. I don't get it. Isn't the PW protected by a 30A breaker anyway? It's pretty obvious that stove and dryer would not work with a PW...

    Installation cost

    Looking at getting a Powerwall for backup and some peak shaving in SF bay area. The 2 quotes I got are around $15k for one power wall installed. That seems crazy to me. Is this the going rate?

    Does car make noises at night?

    My kid was sleeping in the living room next to the garage and was woken up at 5:30 by some noise in the garage where the MS is. Apparently it sounded like somebody was banging on some thing. I assume it's the car, but I am curious what it is about.
