    Tesla Gateway and Powerwall - Converting to hard wired network

    I have that little WiFi bridge plugged into a nearby outlet.

    Tesla Gateway and Powerwall - Converting to hard wired network

    After also getting frustrated with the built-in WiFi of the Tesla Gateway box occasionally disconnecting (usually when I'm out-of-town, of course), I just recently installed this product: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014SK2H6W It's a little WiFi to Ethernet bridge powered by USB. You'll also...

    Your car rattles? Too bad…

    Yeah, I have that rattle in my Model Y rear hatch too. Sounds kinda like bits of gravel against metal. I removed the plastic panel but couldn’t find the source with it off. I’m reluctant to remove that panel repetitively to do trial and error sound dampening fixes out of fear of breaking the...

    Rear ended. CarFax and reduced value with insurance?

    Similar thing happens in the US – in the sense that the at-fault driver's insurance company says "sorry, nope, not going to cover it". I was recently rear-ended in my Ford Transit camper van conversion while slowing down for someone who dashed out after their dog. I merely slowed, no need to...

    Loss of Theater after 2022.20.8 Update!

    Yep… theater mode disappeared for me on my Model Y. Reboot didn’t help but changing display language (which then also reboots) did fix it. Thanks for that tip!

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Yeah, it never triggered for me last year while I was enrolled in the old system.

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Yes, same here. Called PG&E to see why I was denied and they had no record of my Powerwall's installed in February 2020. They told me to contact Tesla about getting a Rule 21 interconnection agreement completed and I got bounced around a bit via their chat support and then told that the person...

    Confusion about FSD and AP

    I don’t have the FSD Beta myself, but that screen capture appears to show that you’re only enrolled and now waiting in the queue to get the FSD Beta software. In other words, you do NOT have the FSD Beta software yet.

    CPUC NEM 3.0 discussion

    I don’t know why you’re saying things like this – you’re not making sense to me. I am not “pulling from the grid the same amount that goes into your PWs“. During warm months (no heat pump usage) I have very little power consumption during the day. My solar production (9kW system) both powers...
  14. Incredulocious

    CPUC NEM 3.0 discussion

    I just explained how. Most days most of my solar production is exported and not consumed. Before Powerwalls, all of my consumption after dark would have to be supplied from the grid. With Powerwalls now, some of that solar production goes to recharging the batteries (instead of being...
  15. Incredulocious

    CPUC NEM 3.0 discussion

    It does reduce my energy consumption from the grid. Instead of my solar production being exported to the grid when I’m not using it, I’m recharging my two Powerwalls and then running off that captured energy after dark, instead of pulling from the grid.

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Haven’t seen any VPP notifications but also haven’t seen any unexpected behavior: charging up during first half of day, exporting in afternoon and running on battery until late night. All as expected.

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    I’m near Santa Cruz and have been signed up with the VPP plan from the start but I have yet to see even one of these events with my Powerwalls. I’m on PG&E and with the Central Coast Community Energy program (previously Monterey Bay Community Power). My reserve is often set at 30% (though at...

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Thanks for calling attention to this. Interesting how different that arrangement is. I signed up to help with the virtual power plant system here in California, but I wouldn’t have if it didn’t include the ability to adjust the backup reserve (and honor it) or if it weren’t easy to opt out...
  19. Incredulocious

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Yeah, I agree. I’ll be trying it out. And apparently we’ll get advance notification of an event so that we can adjust our Powerwall reserve limit to preserve our backup capacity if we feel that we’ll need it.

    Replika R241 Wheels

    I’m still waiting on my Replika R241 order from canadawheels.ca, placed May 12th. After one week I emailed them on May 19th to ask what was wrong as my order status was stuck on ”processed”. I didn’t get a reply until another week later on May 26th where they apologized for the delay. Later...

    Is the Slow-Wake-Up Problem Fixable?

    Yeah, I’m not aware of a slow wakeup problem either. Only delay I ever encounter is if I happen to approach the vehicle in such a way that my phone is in a pocket facing away from the car, it will sometimes not see it and I’ll have to turn slightly before I can open the door and proceed...

    Winter handling Subaru vs dual-motor model Y

    I've certainly experienced this unnecessary slippage due to rear-bias with my 2018 Model 3 and now not looking forward to it with my Model Y. I've tried tweeting at Elon over the years (referencing various threads here) but it's just lost in the noise:

    Yes, exactly. I have a “stealth” 2018 Performance Model 3 – now for sale as I bought the “stealth” version of the Performance Model Y to replace it earlier this year, just before it was discontinued. There is no need to make the ride “jerky” or to press anyone into their seat. You can...

    (bump, still for sale as of Sunday 9/13) Also, I'm making a trip to the Portland, Oregon area to pick up a campervan this week (arriving Thursday, 9/17). I am planning to rent a car one-way, but I could drive my Model 3 instead if you want to buy it. Let me know by Tuesday 9/15 though.

    StormWatch on in NorCal again! (September 2020)

    Yeah, I keep having to turn off storm watch because leaving it on causes it to use grid power for the house during the peak afternoon time in a misguided attempt to keep my Powerwalls at 100%. With storm watch off and remaining in self-powered mode, I can continue to power the house off my...

    Does Installing Powerwalls Affect PG&E Grandfathered NEM/TOU Plan?

    I added Powerwalls in February and there was no change to my E-6 rate plan or my true-up date. I'm on PG&E but I'm also enrolled in that Community Choice Energy thing (with Monterey Bay Community Power in this area) as of early last year (2019) – and that did reset my true-up date in the middle...

    Grumpy vehicle safety inspector

    To clarify, in most states (including all those states marked in yellow), there is no “safety inspection”. All those states in yellow (like California) have only emissions tests to help keep pollution in check. Looks like 20 states have some sort of safety inspection.

    Has anyone else lost news stations on TuneIn?

    Issue with hatch back on Y

    Yup, I had that plus it would catch on the righthand tail light as it tried to open. Just had it serviced yesterday. They said they “adjusted hinges and striker”. It’s working properly now. For those in the vicinity, I’ll add that it would’ve been a week or two to get an appointment at...

    1up USA Bike Rack

    See my post above for the other option of keeping it folded in the middle “extra clearance” position.
  41. Incredulocious

    1up USA Bike Rack

    Looking at the instructions again, it looks like 1Up recommends using the middle position to give more clearance. This would also allow the rack to be mounted even further into the receiver:

    1up USA Bike Rack

    Hmmm... that’s interesting. I was going off of their instructions for the minimum 2” – this is from the instructions for the 2” Heavy and Super Duty: https://www.1up-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2-HEAVY-SUPER-DUTY-SLOTTED.pdf

    1up USA Bike Rack

    Well, as I mentioned above, I couldn’t cause any flex in the rack relative to the body of the car. It’s very solid. I don’t think it will be able to make contact with the body in the folded position. However, I never drive around with an empty rack anyway so it’s not a concern for me. In...

    1up USA Bike Rack

    Okay, here are the promised pictures. I marked in the mount how far I pushed it in to still have clearance in the upright position. I should add that, when secured, there is no movement of the rack relative to the car. 1Up’s diagram shows that the back of the securing ball should be at least...

    1up USA Bike Rack

    It sounds like they have a 1.25” with adapter to 2”. I have the 1Up Heavy Duty or Super Duty Double (not sure which) which is a 2” rack to begin with and the instructions say that the rack needs to be inserted so that the securing ball is at least two inches into the hitch receiver. I just...

    Anyone else here playing the 100% self powered game?

    I think that must be from when I was trying the "Balanced" time-of-use mode: in the graph you can see how it decided to immediately stop using the grid while charging the Powerwalls from solar at the morning switch from off-peak to partial-peak. And you can see it switch to grid power again in...

    Anyone else here playing the 100% self powered game?

    As I mentioned in my post above, I can confirm that the non-backed up car charging circuit will pull from the Powerwalls when the grid is available. This is true even overnight during off-peak hours. The "non-backed up aspect" of that circuit only matters when grid power disappears and the...
