    Powerwall cuts power to house then waits to reconnect to grid

    My powerwalls started cutting power to my house tonight. It did this several times and when it did it would take several seconds for the power to come back on. I was the only house in my neighborhood to experience this. Normally when I simulate a power outage all I get is maybe a light...

    Is a 7-seater with the 3rd row folded down the same as a 5-seater?

    The major reason I went for the 7 seater over the 5 is for the additional air conditioner in the rear. Now that I have the 7 seater it does come in handy when taking my nieces and nephews with me.

    Supercharger - Indio, CA (LIVE, 36 V3 + 8 V2 + 2 Urban stalls)

    Indio is always slow even when I'm the only there. If you can, and depending on where you're going, try to get to Beaumont as they have V3 chargers. For some reason Tesla doesn't always navigate you there so you may have to select it on the map.

    I don't understand people that would accept a 60k car that would require a repaint! OP's car had large blotches where the e-coat was bleeding through. No one should accept that.

    So we don't need to service our cars annually anymore?

    The fob with the dead battery would not resync to the car. The ranger had to hook up a laptop to the car and remove the old fobs. He said that once removed it was easier for him to just give me new fobs then resync the old ones. He also said that the hardest Tesla's to sync a fob to was the...

    How long is delivery time from order on wall connectors?

    Seems like the new wall connector is fine for the newer Tesla's but if you have an older one you may want the non-WiFi one. My X can charge at up to 72 amps, but the new charger only handles 48 amps. I have the older wall connector, a referral version, and it will handle up to 80 amps.
