    Discussion: Powerwall 3 [Speculation / Discussion etc]

    Releasing slowly. Multiple Powerwall 3 system will come later. If you need solar/bess now then Powerwall 2 is what you will be quoted, still a great system.

    Discussion: Powerwall 3 [Speculation / Discussion etc]

    Look again for the black covers on side of unit. No liquid cooling, air cooled only. It does indeed have LFP batteries. PW3 is assembled and made in USA at Gigafactory Nevada. Just because you don’t understand what made in USA means doesn’t mean it’s not.

    Discussion: Powerwall 3 [Speculation / Discussion etc]

    Look at lower label, made in Sparks, NV…First wave of PW3 installs is for simpler projects, multi PW3 will be a little bit. Also take note of the black covering on both sides of unit. This is important for future announcements in quarter 4, possibly quarter 1 of 2024. Inverter built in, not...

    Launch is Imminent

    It’s clear most of you here have never worked in manufacturing. Probably single most reason I’ve stayed away from this site. CT will be offered in a variety of drivetrains. They’ve asked employees who have reservations which one we want, so they know who they can line up for early delivery...

    Also expect CT to have V2H, may not at launch, but built and designed with capability.

    Launch is Imminent

    Tesla has started to solicit info from employees who would have interest in taking an early delivery. Form went out recently. Dual or tri motor, preferred delivery location (Austin, Bay Area, LA, other). Similar to GFTX MY launch…no pricing or dates yet.

    LFP - LR and Performance for model 3? [does not currently exist]

    100% the case here. LFP for 3/Y (SR in China) fills the pack enclosure to the same extent that the 2170 cell modules do.

    New Model 3 SR+ with rear motor 3D5 instead of 3D1

    Threads like this are one of the reasons I pretty much stopped frequenting/contributing to this board....no one was given anything they weren’t promised..... The motor change in the BOM has zero effect on the rated 0-60 time of the vehicle you purchased.... Change was due to a balance in...

    2018 MR vs. 2020 SR+?

    Get the 2020 SR+...better battery. If you plan to keep for the long haul, you’ll thank me later.

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    In my old house, I had a 14-50 installed. I would plug in M3 and screen would show 243V initially. After the initial charge rate would increase from 1/32A to around 26-27A, the voltage would drop to 235-237V. It would reach 32A, then M3 would either reduce charging to 12A, or stop completely...

    Charging Issue Level 2 at Home

    What’s the voltage it shows? M3 is very sensitive to varying voltage. This can be caused by loose connection at 14-50, bad breaker, etc. Seems that the higher amp load is where the issue is. I’d have the wiring and breaker all verified. Even if it’s new. Alongside that, continue to have Tesla...

    M3 SR+ home charging issue

    If you have a charging issue at home, trying a Supercharger doesn’t rule anything out. AC vs DC charging...two different systems in the car.

    West Coast Deliveries

    ^this....beginning of quarter runs are the furthest away, gives everyone time to produce, ship, and deliver. Typically international at beginning, Canada then east coast, then west coast last. Can typically produce, ship deliver west coast within 3-5 days provided east coast is caught up. All...

    Changing payment option

    Also understand that Tesla rate match is a one time payment for the difference in rate. You would still be signing for the higher rate.

    If you have 19” wheels on your SR+ forgot about anything above 220mi...also stay out of the left lanes when traveling highway.

    One of my Model 3’s is a SR+. Me and my partner drive it often, around 70 mph on highway, in Nevada, with AC at 68 F, AP on highway, and regularly see 247-256 miles per battery...12,000+ miles...it’s called stop allowing the accel pedal to touch the floor...

    12V Battery Just Died - Total battery failure

    Should disconnect 12V at penthouse under rear seat, then swap 12V battery as normal, then reconnect 12V under seat. This prevent any chance of the penthouse/HV battery connecting the DC/DC converter when the positive cable is dangling and potentially touching ground...but what do I know....

    12V Battery Just Died - Total battery failure

    Not lithium ion. The 12V accessory battery is still a lead acid based battery. No sense adding cost to the car for zero gain. Lithium ion batteries for 12V accessory use are still maturing. More useful in motorcycle world where the weight savings are more useful. Taking 15lbs out of your Model 3...

    32A max charge rate of LR Model 3

    PCS should be included in battery warranty. Most likely new PCS will only be covered for balance of battery warranty going forward.

    Confusion in comment thread

    I am the inside source...I posted about the Semi production prior to any one else because I rec'd the email....conveniently TMC mods placed their story at the top of my post, and moved my comments to another thread. Without knowing these things, the average user sees the post, assumes TMC broke...

    No garage door opener?

    This is why. Purely a licensing issue. Have to pay a fee for every unit sold, regardless of use. Structured volume pricing. At $300 and a mobile service visit, it's not a significant driver in margin.

    Model y battery upgrade?

    No. Remember Tesla does nothing based on model year. Software and drive unit efficiency are big reasons why 3 got better efficiency rating.

    How did you post this at 9:20pm on Tuesday June 9 when Elon sent the email at 9:24pm? So not only did you edit my original post to make it look like you had the scoop, but you edited your post time? That’s pretty unethical....

    32A max charge rate of LR Model 3

    For reference, this isn't always a clear cut problem solver. A Wall Charger inputs AC power and the charging system in the car converts to DC power, then to battery. A Supercharger will route DC power to battery basically, bypassing the AC system. If you're having charging issues at home, going...

    Tesla Gigafactory

    Construction was related to roof repairs, nothing new, nothing different. Parking lot work was most likely water trucks. Drainage in the lot is less than subpar. When we get rain (months in between), the lot will flood basically. They bring in vacuum trucks to remove the water.

    Model y battery upgrade?

    Correct, same 2170 cells for both. The Y pack will fit into a 3, but connections and firmware are different. Not plug and play.

    Model y battery upgrade?

    Cabling from pack to vehicle is slightly different on Y, also charge plug to pack newer design. But the modules, cells in a MY pack are the exact same as a M3. I’ve literally watched NCM pluck modules from a 3 pack and place to a pack that was destined for a Y. It’s the same. M3 would need...
