    Model Y Reservation - $57990 can edit - EDD in 1-2 weeks

Asking for $2500. Model Y LR - Pricing at $57,990 ($8k cheaper) Model Y Performance - Pricing at $62,990...

    Should I wait to Order MYLR? Tax Credit?

    Curious about the income limitation part, as 2023 Tesla vehicles very likely to be in the federal tax credit eligibility. If both me (above income limit) and my brother (below income limit) are owners of the car, can he claim the full $7500 tax credit when he files for taxes next year? While use...

    Tax Credit and Model Y delivery

    Wondering how would they verify income limitation if this becomes point of sale price deduction after 2023/1? Not sure if they will request buyers to bring previous years tax return copy.

    Give me the VIN

    I’m in NorCal and had a good experience with GMTV recently as well. Total turnaround time was around 1.5 week. Talked to three person: Buyer, Logistics, and Finance. Sold my pristine condition 2018 Model 3 LR AWD w/FSD and 5400 miles for 53k, their offer was 1.5k-4k higher than everyone else...

    Abnormal solar production spike beyond system capabilities (SolarEdge inverter)

    Tesla just responded with an unhelpful one liner message trying to kick the ball around: "Being that you have been granted access to the SolarEdge monitoring portal you don't monitor through Tesla. You don't need a new gateway because you have been approved for SolarEdge portal access which we...

    Abnormal solar production spike beyond system capabilities (SolarEdge inverter)

    It's 100% the 3800 model for sure. Yes I'm getting around 22-23kWh per day. Contacted SE and they said my inverter stopped reporting to the Tesla Gateway, they can only see the inverter is still producing normally and told me to reach out to Tesla to fix the communication issue. I opened a...

    Abnormal solar production spike beyond system capabilities (SolarEdge inverter)

    My system was installed in March and received PTO last week. It is a 4.08kW system (12 Q.Peak Panel) with SolarEdge SE3800H inverter. I noticed some irregular activities since yesterday, as my inverter stopped communicating with Tesla Gateway which resulted SolarEdge app monitoring ability...

    Tesla app not showing home usage when there is solar

    Anyone know if Tesla is still providing the power blaster for solar installation recently? I'm in San Jose and got my 4.08kW system installed on 3/8 with a SolarEdge inverter, noticed no power blaster installed for grid consumption data. I called my advisor and he said they are not doing it...

    Advice needed on Tesla vs SolarEdge inverter selection

    Thanks for the info. I didn't know Tesla would provide EV charging version of the SE inverter, and given that it's hard enough now to get them approved for using SE anymore at least in Bay Area. If will indeed be useful as my inverter is close to my garage door for charging EV parked outside. We...

    Advice needed on Tesla vs SolarEdge inverter selection

    I guess third time's the charm, Tesla installed my solar system with SE3800 inverter this Monday with the help of my advisor (great guy, very courteous) requesting for approval. They definitely have SE in warehouse but probably difficult to get for approval unless its a special case. All the...

    Advice needed on Tesla vs SolarEdge inverter selection

    Another frustrating attempt by Tesla yesterday. I had triple confirmed with scheduling prior to the installation date that warehouse had SE inverters/optimizers in stock and my project is designed with SE. Guess what, whole crew came at 7:30am unloading everything, and once they opened the box...

    Advice needed on Tesla vs SolarEdge inverter selection

    Greatly appreciate all the comments from the folks here. I do see the valid reasons to go for Tesla inverters and yes our installation in done by Tesla itself. (Although the poll is close to 50/50). If using in house Tesla inverters can potentially improve the repair time that would be...

    Advice needed on Tesla vs SolarEdge inverter selection

    I'm located in NorCal Bay Area, submitted my solar panel order last November and my 4.08kW project was designed with SolarEdge inverter with Q.PEAK 340 panels. My original installation date was 2/1 and the full crew came that morning, the crew lead acknowledged my BOM was using SE inverters but...

    Choice of inverter

    Chatted with my project advisor and is being pushed to accept Tesla invertor, claiming Tesla is ending contracts with SE/Delta soon and it's showing 180 days to wait for any SolarEdge inverters. Anyway, gonna end up delaying a month or two for another installation time slot due to this surprise...

    Choice of inverter

    I'm in NorCal, full crew came over to install my solar system today. However, they only got the Tesla inverter in contrary to the SolarEdge I had on my BOM. We had some discussion and the team lead mentioned he would rather wait for the SE inverter if it were him. They had quite a few Tesla...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Actually took delivery Nov 2018 right after the car was built, I live fairly close to Fremont factory in Bay Area. My commute is couple miles per day and we have another leased car to add miles.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    2018/11 build LR AWD with only 5k miles. Lifetime efficiency at 295Wh/mi. Starting end of last year, my range keeps dropping and now I’m getting 277 @100%. The car has always been at 70-90% charge everyday. Anyone has idea if this is real battery degradation? I’m starting to get worried and...

Symptoms happens at low speed standstill accelerating and braking. Either 0-10mph or 10-0mph. Today I noticed loud clunk from...

    Clicking sound under left side of dash with air conditioning on.

    Exactly same issue on my LR AWD, took delivery last November. Goes away 5-10 mins. I remember reading somewhere that the issue was documented in the service bulletin and someone was able to get it fixed. I’ll probably mention this next time I go in service. It’s not “normal”, my friends LR RWD...

    Large gaps in junction of rear seats and bench

    PHi all, I’m seeing this huge gap in my rear seats / bench junction where I can see the painted parts.

    When to reject delivery and what can be fixed properly by service centers?

    Rejected cars get rematch to another buyer without even fixing the problems. I had first hand experience as I rejected 5 cars and finally accepted the 6th which is not perfect as well. All had various paint issues. I saw my 3rd and 5th rejected car at the delivery center prepped for another...

    AWD front motor sounds

    Nov build AWD. Same high pitched beep noise around 20-40 mph. Looks like it’s common as lots of people are reporting it. However, is it really abnormal? If the unit is replaced with same noise I would rather no bother at all.

    Bay Area service center recommendation?

    It's relatively small but still visible from 10ft away, I'm doing PPF so the surface needs to be flat. Looking for options here, mostly requesting for entire bumper replacement from a factory painted unit and definitely avoid repaint like a plague haha

    Bay Area service center recommendation?

    Thanks for sharing guys, I'll check with them if Tesla's own body shop is open. I'm only accepting for factory bumper replacement anyway. It's another hassle to deal with even after delivery.

    Fair compensation from Tesla regarding bad delivery experience

    My AWD makes some kind of high pitched noise and sounded like beeping when I maintain the speed around 30-40mph. I know that AWD will have front motor noise but is this normal? Also, anyone here has suggestion which Bay Area SC to go and had a good experience?

    Ordered 11/10, but VIN shows OCT 7 build - problem?

    Oct 7 is the day Tesla registered those VIN, not the day when the car is build. Your config is probably White AWD and sports wheels. I checked through quite a few 134xxx this few days are they are all end of Oct to Nov build(including mine). Inspect the car thoroughly and don't worry too much.

    Return the car, do I get initial deposit back?

    Situation dependent. I rejected cars due to paint issues and was told verbally both onsite/phone that I can take full refund (including deposit/reservation fee) if I opt to cancel in the end. Not sure about the Doc fee but I’m sure that’s included because I never took delivery. If the sole...

    Rejected Delivery, how long until your 2nd attempt?

    I’m on my 4th reject on LR AWD, average took around 2 to 3 weeks. I’m in NorCal. Also, on my latest attempt I saw my previous rejected car on the lot waiting for a new owner, with all the paint issues unfixed.
