    Tesla sent out messages to certified installers that any installed and registered (not PTO or final inspection) powerwall between now and Oct 31 will be eligible for a $500 rebate per unit direct from Tesla. A Nice little chunk of change for what people already bought is nice.

    I see a 400A Disconnect in Bloom

    Here is some of the madness we have to deal with to account for Fire jurisdictions that do not accept the Tesla UL 9540A testing. It sure was a nice garden before they "went green" This customer would have been much happier with 3 stacks of 3 units along that wall, but rules are rules. Spread...

    Navigation sucks from Santa Cruz to Mountain View CA

    I am at a loss as to why the navigation is so bad on this stretch of road. In the morning, heading to Mountain View, there seems to be no reason for the detour. Every morning over the last week my navigation takes me from 17 to exit at Lark and then get on at 85. Each time, I dont believe this...

    Load drops on GW version 22.36.6

    Those with Powerwall and S or X does it coordinate charging?
