    Powerwalls now available for direct order

    Thanks for that very detailed update. The delays seem to align with mine (with the power company). I did, however, catch Tesla in a lie. In writing, they told me they applied to ComEd "three weeks ago" and had to file again "last week" When I had my initial installation done in 2022, ComEd...

    Powerwalls now available for direct order

    Well, now at least I don't feel so bad, although I do have sympathy for your @qnzkrew. I managed to get ahold of someone at Tesla and (apparently) used the right language so they gave me a legitimate, informative update. My delay is currently with Com Ed in Illinois, Tesla did file paperwork 3...

    Powerwalls now available for direct order

    Circling back to the August posts from @charlesj and @scotsmanswan talking about site visits. I wonder if either of you (or anyone else) that was in the system in that timeframe has actually seen their project progress. I had my site visits (Chicago suburbs) in August as well and almost...

    Tesla Roof - Leak Claim Process

    Thanks to both Patrick and ewoodrick. I have had them out before on other claims (ice falling from an upper story broke several panels). There was no "claim" or "investigative fee" and they were out the next day with repairs. I do, however, understand that the flashing/underlayment and solar...

    Tesla Roof - Leak Claim Process

    We have a Tesla roof that received permission to operate in May of 2022. Haven't had any problems at all. Two rainstorms last week and I'm seeing leakage around a skylight. Leakage is 100% not coming through the skylight. Location of the leakage suggests that water is coming in around the...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    I started to get better response when I filed formally with the Commerce Commission (Illinois for me). Tesla has to be licensed annually and when the commerce commission calls them with my complaint...they got back to me immediately. I also filed with the Attorney General, and that was a waste...

    How is Tesla support and service post-PTO?

    I wouldn't even consider letting them do so. I have cement board siding on my home. While it's not commonplace, it's not exactly unique. Tesla hired a sub to do my roof tear-off and that sub had NO FREAKING CLUE how to treat cement board siding. They did so much damage it actually required...

    How is Tesla support and service post-PTO?

    I had several items on my punch list and I REFUSED to pay until they resolved them. They dragged their feet and tried to bully me into dropping my proven damage claims. It took more than a month of daily calls (at that time, calls were still accepted) to get IN WRITING confirmation of the...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Been about 5 weeks since my latest update. Here's another one. Took a while, but Tesla finally admitted that the reason they WON'T file the certificate of completion for PTO (despite telling me....(checks notes) FOURTEEN times in the past 60 days that they HAD filed my PTO request...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Just when you think you've heard every BS thing under the sun...Tesla finds another way to A) Screw up, and B) Lie about it. Since May 20, Tesla has shifted their delaying tactic of failing to submit my certificate of completion with Commonwealth Edison to laying blame on the Illinois...

    Solar Glass Snow Avalanches

    They do not because they wouldn't work the same way on a solar roof. I don't believe they have a solution yet for those problems on a solar roof. FWIW, I had an ice avalanche from my upper roof to my lower roof during my installation this past winter. Shattered a bunch of tiles on the lower...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Been about a month since my previous rant. Although the financial piece seems like it has been corrected, my dashboard with Tesla still says that I owe a final payment. The advisor tells me to ignore it and that I'm paid in full. :rolleyes: Speaking of advisors....since April 25, I've had...

    Florida Solar Roof Insurance problem

    I'm not in FL, but I had a very strange reaction when I called my homeowner's insurance and asked them to update it to reflect the solar roof. According to multiple quotes, replacement value on my home went from roughly 400K to 950K. I worked in insurance for 25 years and have professional...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Called again today. My previous advisor is no longer with the company. :confused: AND....the assistance I received today indicated that he was jacking me around for almost three months with complete and utter lies. I was told today that my payment (in full) was not properly registered on my...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Anyone know if I can do the PTO document submission in Illinois myself? My installation was approved by the county in January, still sitting on my hands waiting on the interconnectivity experts at Tesla to file the required paperwork. ComEd says they need a certificate of completion which...

    Powerwall installation? Illinois.

    FWIW, my wall is in the basement, my inverters are outside.

    Tesla's IL Adjustable Block Buyout Alternative

    I can really use some advice on this, as Tesla just contacted me and told me that the IL Adjustable Block Program comes to me as a State Income Tax Credit, which I don't believe is accurate (although I welcome being corrected on this). The Tesla statement differs from this text found on the...

    Tesla's IL Adjustable Block Buyout Alternative

    Stumbled upon this thread via search. I've recently received my invoice from Tesla (unpaid as I await resolution of punch list items) and a new request to approve my system design. In My system design, the IL Adjustable Block Program credit is included as a lump sum (as expected). In My...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    I am in Illinois and passed county inspection 3 weeks ago today. I've pushed and pushed my "point of contact" about the application for interconnection with ComEd which the electricians told me would take place "next day" three weeks ago. Today, I'm told: A) There are "Restrictive Cases"...

    Tesla Solar Panel Snow Guard

    Snowy climate owner here... Tesla completed installation of my solar roof less than 2 weeks ago. Last Monday, an iceberg from my second level crashed down to my first level and shattered a half dozen tiles. Contacted my installation team (figuring it was faster than a ticket). They showed up...

    Considering Solar in Illinois

    When you (OP) say "Illinois incentives are back on track" may I ask to what you are referring. I've not seen any such notice. What benefits are there to a 2022 installation in Illinois that weren't there in 2021? Rudimentary Google searches of that term added in the last month appear to be...

    Another gutter issue thread.

    Good to know that we can expect a response to the punch list. Regarding the gutters, I will admit to being oblivious to the fact that this was a "thing" over the past months. I never thought for a minute that a contractor would (or even *could*) remove something from a job (that is not...

    Another gutter issue thread.

    I've seen the discussions about gutters in a couple of other threads. I decided to start this one specific to my circumstances as the others don't seem to completely align. Tear off started yesterday. Gutters (currently 4 inch, good shape) need to come off says the tear-off site coordinator...

    Discussion: Tesla Energy / Auto Customer Service

    IRT Rdfield I've had the same situation that you describe. Over the past six months or so, I've been able to reach "my" advisor precisely zero times. However, when I enter my advisor's extension...and he doesn't pick up...the call goes through to an available advisor. While that means that I...

    Trunk lights

    Ooooo....I didn't even think to do that one. I was referring to the doors/trunk. Will take a look (and try the wheel wells again) on Wednesday.

    Trunk lights

    I found that the lights for front footwells did NOT want to budge. I didn't have a lot of time to mess with them, but those suckers are in there TIGHT. The other replacements were easy-peasy.

    Containment Hold

    There was an internal systems update that was completed. And when they finished that, they noticed something with the front end. Now...I already inspected the vehicle, and I noticed nothing untoward, so I have no idea what they might be referring to unless something was damaged during the...

    Containment Hold

    Update. Was given an updated delivery date....16 days from now. So....the car is sitting at the local center, has been there for 6 days. 6 + 16 = 22 days. So....longer than the time between placing the original order and being told to come pick it up. Bwahahahaha. :rolleyes:

    Part recall for Model 3

    I believe you're referring to me, and while that may be accurate for my vehicle, it seems like it were they A) Would explain it to me as such, and B) Would turn it around with the same speed the OP referenced. I don't think that's my problem, but it could be the reason for reduced deliveries...

    Containment Hold

    No rescheduling date. Waiting for my delivery specialist to e-mail with options. I will politely "push" again for information when I'm in the shop for pick-up. Even if all of this was done at the behest of Fremont (which I certainly believe it was), it's not too much to ask for the local...

    Containment Hold

    In the scenario you've described, wouldn't there be a whole bunch of people reporting similar "holds?" I did ask at the center about whether there had been any other M3's released today, and the answer was "yes" so again, I'm back to thinking that there's something specific to my particular...

    Containment Hold

    Went to pick up our Model 3 this afternoon. Arrived at the center and was told the vehicle could not be released due to a "Containment Hold" put on the vehicle by Fremont. Could not (Would not?) answer as to why there was a hold, nor would they hazard a guess as to how long it would be until...

    Pick-up Checklist

    Pick-up Checklist

    Have I missed a pick-up checklist specific to the Model 3? The site search brought back pick-up issues and whatnot. I'm wondering if there's an M3 specific document that I might bring with me to the dealer on pick-up.

    APR for Financing Model 3

    I just went through Penfed using their $17 contribution method and booked 1.49% for 36 months over the phone (their online system doesn't yet have 2018 Tesla options available). 15 minutes, fully confirmed, no problems other than needing to eventually upload a purchase order. I understand the...

    APR for Financing Model 3

    Unfortunately....also a restricted union that one cannot buy into.

    Front License Plate Bracket For Tesla Model 3

    As an Illinoisan, I'm very familiar with the requirement. Seems like a really simple thing that they should have been able to provide as an accommodation.

    Front License Plate Bracket For Tesla Model 3

    Hold on a minute. Is there no real plan to allow for front plate attachment? On my S, they gave me the option of mounting my front plate and did so during my pick-up visit. I assumed the same would be true for the 3.

    APR for Financing Model 3

    That seems to be a very restrictive credit union. No apparent way to "buy" access. Too bad, because that's a real winner.

    APR for Financing Model 3

    At the risk of bumping an old thread back to life, I wonder if anyone with a recent Model 3 delivery date (or shortly upcoming delivery date) has stumbled upon deals that they might be willing to share regarding financing outside of Tesla. I used Alliant for my Model S, so I'm not averse to...

    Model 3 spotted in Chicago

    So...you're a month out or so, correct? I have to think that I'll need/want to make a decision sooner rather than later. If I'm still on the fence at that time, I'll gratefully take you up on that offer. When I talked with the Westmont dealership yesterday, I asked if they had any deliveries...

    Model 3 spotted in Chicago

    Newbie to this board. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, I haven't figured out the search options and layout yet. I am a Chicagoan who has been invited to configure (Model S owner, first day Model 3 deposit), but since I'm configuring for my wife, it certainly would be nice to AT LEAST look at...
