    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Test successful, although I did measure some variation above the expected 62.2 up to 62.4HZ

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Nice info! I just checked mine since I haven't heard back from Tesla and low and behold: "grid_code_overrides": [ { "name": "soc_freq_droop_config_df_max", "value": 2.2 } ] I'll do a full test killing the grid this weekend but looks good.

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    I'm still waiting for confirmation from my request last week. How did you go about confirming the new setting?

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Just got off the phone with Tesla Energy support. They asked for my UPS model so I gave them my Cyberpower CP1000AVRLCD. I didn't ask for a specific frequency but I would expect it would be somewhere 63Hz or lower given that's the max on that UPS. They said it needs to be escalated to Level...

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Sounds like 62.5 is a common change value but any suggestion on how to find this info about the inverters? Seems unusual they lowered to 62.0hz max?

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Thanks for the feedback and info @gpez. I'll try to give Tesla a call soon to see about reducing the maximum frequency. Sounds like requesting 62Hz is the suggested request with them coming back at something between 62 and 63, and the number is 877 961 7652. Any other tips or corrections...

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Same here with going with Eaton units. Yes, they're a little more but good quality UPSs (from my experience and what I've heard) and don't have to worry about contacting Tesla or other changes that might come with firmware updates. I mostly have 5S700LCDs but just picked up a Eaton 3S 350 VA...

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    Indeed, picking up a white/black myself. Would have been more convenient to pickup tomorrow instead of having to take time off work but I'll be happy to just get it next week.

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    That sounds about what I expected. I'm using Tesla financing so don't need that loan agreement. Probably wise to wait and bring personal check, they should make that more clear on the Tesla site that you don't need to make that final payment online prior to arriving.

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    Yes, currently scheduled for 10:30am on Monday, crossing fingers.

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    From what I'm reading on the forums our CO delivery centers are a little more "touchless" so I suppose making the final payment online in advance would make it a little more streamlined without having to hand over a physical check. I know the smart thing would be not to hand over final payment...

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    @LevelHeaded Can you follow-up on how you handled the final payment. I have delivery scheduled for Monday and am unsure if I should make final payment in advance of Monday?

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    FWIW, applied today (with GOOD not GREAT credit rating) and offered 2.99% with TD Auto. Emailed autofinance to request improvement with Chase and was offered 2.64%, seems reasonable to me.

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    That seems like a very good rate. Do you mind sharing (here or PM) your approximate credit score? I'm trying to determine when to submit my app while in the process of optimizing my score (it's good now but should get a slight bump in a couple weeks).

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    I have the same issue on my recently installed system. I thought I was going crazy before I found this thread. I have since replaced 3 of my 4 UPSs with the Eaton 5S700LCD. Haven't tested yet but feel confident those will work based on feedback here.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Happy (for now) to report I received a new temp tag today via Fedex that takes me into Jan. The old one expired 11/30.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    My current temp expires 11/30 so I guess I'll be heading to the DMV to get a temp extension unless I get something by then in the next couple days This thread is a good reminder to add this to my TODO list this week.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Same here, took delivery 9/29 and nothing yet. I hope it's better than when I bought a CPO 2013 S a couple years ago when the process dragged out for like 6 months having to go in several times to get temporary extensions.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Thanks for confirming it's not a black hole. My issue isn't urgent (front bumper damaged, noticed by my PPF installer) so I'll give it a few more days before calling in.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    I sent that email within the 72 hours last week after delivery (9/29) and another follow-up a few days later but no response yet. Are people submitting to this email address getting responses and how long did it take?

    USB port management if the Dashcam update in Rev 9 takes 1 port

    Interesting, I haven't tried the splitter yet but that's not encouraging. I won't have my Nomad probably for a month so keep us updated on how the Anker solution works for you, I may go that route as well.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Good luck, I'll be heading down from Fort Collins Saturday morning for my delivery, fingers crossed.

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    What rate/term did you end up with? Seems like their rates went up today before I could submit my application.

    Are Tesla trade in $ offers fair?

    Wow, that's insulting offering $22,200. I guess I should feel very fortunate they're offering $39,100 for my 2013 Model S 85 trade-in.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    That's what I thought but I didn't know if Tesla was somehow different in this regard.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    I have to believe they are going to try to make EVERY effort to deliver by the end of the quarter (9/29 or do they delivery on Sunday also?). It's sounding like it could be a very busy Saturday there (my delivery is currently 9/29).
  28. thegdgteer

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    I'm scheduled for 9/29 and just saw my trade-in evaluation. I can't say I wouldn't want it a little higher (especially since I have a little negative equity) but at least according to kbb.com it's actually on the high end of their trade-in valuation. I probably should sell privately but not...

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Same here (for 9/29), curious was the expected timing is. I have not tried to contact anyone yet though.

    What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

    Same plan here, already have an appointment (after my 9/29 delivery) at a detailer for front end wrap, ceramic and window tinting for not TOO much more than a non-black color would have cost.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    I also got my delivery confirmation email last Thursday for 9/29, 11:30 at Littleton (Black AWD).

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    I'm curious about this also. Hearing talk of people having after-market paint correction work done prior to applying paint protection film or ceramic coatings. Seems like Tesla should be pro-active about fixing these delivery defects. I'm concerned about having to spend a lot of time at...

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Just a little jealous of the white/white configs (my current order is black/black). All things being equal I'd probably be in that boat but hard to convince the wife at another $3,500.

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Just found this thread, writing from Fort Collins, my info: Reserved: Fall 2016 (online after purchasing my CPO 2013 MS) Ordered: 8/19/18 I ordered a AWD w/ Black exterior/interior, and EAP/FSD. Not in a hurry for delivery, just want to make that 2018 tax deadline.
