CA Waiting Room

My new MYP was delivered today!

 

[M3&MY]

Anyone in the Bay Area change their PGE plan? We have solar (not Tesla) and wondering what our best option would be.

I’m in the older TOU plan from a couple of years ago that includes solar. I average 200 dollars a year total for electricity with 13-15k miles per year on the M3 and average of 30 days of AC usage per year with 4kw array in East Bay and full sun. The new TOU plan tweaked the hours a little but I’ll try to stay in the old one if I can (I think I’ll be grandfathered in). I only charge 11pm onwards since that’s when the cheapest rate is in effect.

Just got back from Rocklin picking up my MYLR7. Lots of MY's ready for delivery. Most all of them were MYLRs. I didn't see much beyond the delivery area, so it's hard to say how many they have on site, but I did see a couple Blacks, a bunch of Whites, and a couple Reds. I think the only MYP I saw was Red. I did also note a few brand new M3's and MY's going north on 70 & 99 as I headed down to my appointment.

I’m in the same solar boat. Currently on TOU-D-A iirc. I received notification that my grandfather status will expire towards the end of this year. Not sure I will have any choices but to move to a new one. . I had a volt, charged daily and never paid more than $20 in a month (usually $13 or so). We’ll see how this plays out with a Tesla eating up my KWh.

Wouldn’t charging the car during the day be the cheapest since that when you’re producing? Obviously it may not be as convenient…

Sorry! Didn't see any Blues or MSMs. Hopefully soon though!

 

[liuster]

It looks like Tesla is taking priority on the performance package over the LR. I suppose they want to make more money first.

Not necessarily. Our local utility buys back the surplus solar generation at rates equal to the daytime rate(s). Peak daytime rates are anywhere from 25% to 500% higher than overnight off-peak rate.

Congrats on your new Y!

anyone picking up from Vallejo offered a home delivery? Wondering if they’re offering it

Yep! I ordered in WC for pick up in Vallejo and they said I’m scheduled for home delivery since I’m less than 30 miles away.

 

[anka2021]

Yay! I got VIN last night. Ordered on 4/20, MYP, no tow, no FSD, blk/blk.

Super odd thing is, I have to go pick up at Colma Serramonte. I chose Fremont as the pick up, but then SA help me switch to home delivery. And when I try to schedule it was to pick up for Colma. Really strange! But still thankful I can pick up this Wednesday.

Ok super random thing but seems to be right?! SA told me for Bay Area Colma deliveries are one of the earliest and they randomly will start deliveries for the area before Fremont or others...

Question for Southern California Edison customers - have you looked into changing your rate plans?

Yep. Change to Time of Use plan. Cheapest rates 10 pm to 8 am

 

[Zorg]

So, went to Carmax to get an offer on my 3. Low and behold it was $2k below tesla trade in offer. Trade in it is.

 

[ToneeO]

Have you already been through a summer with that rate plan? 5-9p is prime a/c time - I was concerned that would end up being way more expensive. Thanks for the info!

I got solar. Use ac all summer have 2 EVs. Saved a ton.

 

[Ryan_GdM]

This is why I picked MSM so I wouldn’t see one everywhere. And that’s good news because hopefully that means that they are starting to come out of the factory.

They are. That is what I picked up.
