Comcast will roll a truck within 24 hours, which is certainly far better than tesla. Tier 2 Tesla is backed up from 2-3 days (their stated response time) to 10+ days. Upside (I hope) is that the system(s) should be fairly stable once the initial shake out period. Hopefully. My only suggestion is once you get to "waiting for PTO" you gotta call PG&E at least once a week to find out what they're waiting on, then call Tesla to find out why they haven't answered...I am on the verge of ordering Tesla Solar here in Northern California and am really concerned about what I am reading on the forum and the thousands of ranting one-star Yelp reviews. Not sure I can have another Comcast in my life...
Then I would recommend a third party with five star Yelp reviews, or make peace with the probability that you may be spending hours and hours dealing with Tesla, whether it is trying to chivvy them along for a regulatory filing, or to finish the project, or to get things working, or repair that flashing so that it doesn't leak.I am on the verge of ordering Tesla Solar here in Northern California and am really concerned about what I am reading on the forum and the thousands of ranting one-star Yelp reviews.

I hear you. I went with a third party to get Powerwalls, and waited fifteen months, but that doesn't stop me from having to deal with Tesla. I am around ninety days post install, and still don't have a fully functioning system. All on Tesla.Going with third party is not an option if I want a Powerwall... all the third party solar suppliers here can't get Powerwalls and are recommending Enphase. One local company went so far as to say that due to the battery composition of Powerwalls, they are an extreme fire hazard and therefore I should purchase Enphase. If it weren't the the Powerwall shortage, I would gladly go with a third party.

Part of that cost is the service you will receive during install and after. Personally, the savings was worth the headache for me and luckily it hasn’t been all that bad compared to other stories here on the forums. At the time Tesla also had 0.99% financing which made it an easy decision, but I also knew my install would be fairly straight forward as my roof is new and had a good location in the garage near the main panel for the Powerwalls. I’ve had to follow up with Tesla on a few occasions to move things along, but my system has been running since it was installed and have only paid Tesla a small deposit so I am not too worried about it. I can only hope that my system doesn’t have any issues as I am sure it will be a huge pain to try to get someone out here to fix it.Just found my neighbor's price quote from Solarcraft... one Enphase 16.8 kW system is $25,000... without the solar panels...seems insanely expensive compared to Tesla...
I ordered my system late April, install completed last week of September, and waiting for Tesla to complete application for PTO with FPL. To not use foul language to describe the experience is to give too much credit to Tesla. Working with the crew who service SW FL (Tampa) has been awful, and I am being nice. Tesla does not hustle or make any attempt to satisfy the customer. Take or leave it is the attitude, kind of, because they know, when they've put holes in your roof and walls, you're committed.Ok, I will look there. I was looking at the battery itself but did not think to look at the inverter; all the red danger stickers scared me away from looking there both for safety reasons and fear of voiding any warranties. Thanks @dailo !
Not all Installers have this issue, PM me if you want a recommendation for ones that have stock of Powerwalls.Going with third party is not an option if I want a Powerwall... all the third party solar suppliers here can't get Powerwalls and are recommending Enphase.

Hi Vines... I'll DM you. House is in Napa. I have the "fire danger" thing in an email from the company... which made me not trust the company.Not all Installers have this issue, PM me if you want a recommendation for ones that have stock of Powerwalls.
As far as talking about Tesla Powerwalls being fire dangers, I strongly disagree. Which installer was making this claim?
If Tesla is ghosting you then start legal proceedings. A letter may start the wheels movingThis is the Alameda County, CA

How long has it been since you were able to discuss this project with Tesla?
Is your service overhead or underground?
If you are comfortable sharing the city or county who does the inspections?
How far is the main panel away from the meter? Can you take a picture of the wall near the gas meter?
Usually a "Like for like" swap of the service panel is allowed to be in the same location as the original panel if that is the only change. Not sure about your utility.
