Correct, no power during power cut. Tesla told us they would provide it later; but no information has been provided even though we have asked on a number of occasions.

We have a gateway 1, we do not have a facility to set a reserve

We have been forcing our powerwall to charge to 100% in offpeak since early December by adjusting the sell rate; so we have not noticed any changes, but we would be very surprised by this. I would have expected some rumours by people testing this. We have just gone self powered, so I will not be...

I have had the powerwall since June 2017. When they eventually provided the app I was informed that the powerwall did not need manual controls as it used local weather forecasts to predict solar generation. When it became obvious that this was not true I kept a daily record when not on self...

ST63 I observed this a few years back, the powerwall forecasts solar generation on the best figures in the past 3 days. If you want to force it to charge overnight you will have to set the peak sell rate considerably higher than the off peak cost rate, but a bit lower than the peak cost rate...

Lincsat Try extending the offpeak period into the early morning, this means that it will charge to a higher level to cover the extended period; however this only works if there has NOT been high solar generation in the previous three days.

We had the update allowing us to set the rates in early December. Putting the correct rates in did not appear to have any effect in forcing it to charge in off-peak; and putting the peak rates at 10 times off-peak still did not have any effect. There does not appear to be any risk factor in its...

My powerwall was delivered on the 6th June 2017 and I have kept a detailed record for each winter, and every year the powerwall performed very poorly, it does not learn. I am currently still in self powered mode, but will have to switch to time based control soon. I have been complaining to...

I thought that charging and discharging would be controlled centrally by Octopus, it seems my optimism was misplaced. My experience over the last 3 years is that the powerwall predicts solar generation based on the highest figure over the previous 3 days, and I have many examples which support...

How does VAT affect the 11p; do they charge 11p + VAT on the total from the grid or do they only charge VAT on the net value?

I know of someone who had snow slide off panels and crashed through a conservatory roof, a snow guard would have prevented this. I have a property where the front door is next to the pavement, I have a snow guard to prevent a large quantity of snow falling on a pedestrian. They are very useful...

Tesla have informed me that they do not at the moment use weather forecasting, instead they use recent generation. The powerwall will try to save enough energy in offpeak to cover your normal usage until it expects solar generation to take over. The problem occurs when the weather changes. I...

We have observed that after a sunny day the powerwall will retain enough charge to last to the time that solar energy generation normally starts. It will do this for the following three days even if we generate very little due to bad weather. It will then charge to a significant level...

I have contacted them on a number of occasions, but no success yet. It does charge offpeak but most of the time up to 20%.

JohnRatsey, you were lucky my powerwall left me using the grid from 2pm today with no hope of any solar generation for the rest of day. Yesterday it stopped at 9am but the sun came out later and saved the day. I would give you a thumbs up if I knew how to.

My points 1 and 2 are errors which have been there for at least 3 months. Tesla are aware of the problem, I was hoping that 1.32 would fix it. I acknowledge that points 3 and 4 are not bugs, but could show the lack of thought in the display.

The Tesla app appears to very cheap and inadequate showing a lack of professionalism as it has a number of problems such as:- 1. It is incapable of simple addition; it is quite common that if I add "off peak" to peak, it does not equal all day, and I do not mean just a rounding error but often...

I think the powerwall 2 is amazing, it can predict energy generation (a Tesla engineer told me it uses local weather forecasts), and somehow knows when I am going out for the day or longer, or when I return from holiday and have a lot of laundry to do on a wet day. Unfortunately my Powerwall...
