Regarding your new backed up loads panel where they transferred all the circuits from the original main panel to this new panel. Did Tesla consider that a service panel upgrade and charge extra or was that included as part of the standard package? I'm pretty sure my system is going to be done the same way. I like the idea of having every circuit backed up. That way I can shut off any circuits I want just by flipping the breaker(s). Thanks.

That was just part of the standard installation. My service panel was not upgraded, they just moved the circuits out of it. In some cases they need to replace the main panel.
So does your old main panel now have no breakers installed except the 200 amp main/service disconnect? Unfortunately for me I do not have enough room to put another panel next to my existing main panel. The backed up panel, the gateway, the solar generation panel, and the 4 powewalls are all probably going in the garage as I have almost no free wall space near by meter and main panel. If I could only get Tesla to keep things moving. It's been a week since they said my panel layout was complete and ready for my review when in fact it is still not done.
That’s correct, they put little plastic covers to cover the holes where the other breakers were installed.
I see that you’re in Volusia county. I’m also in Volusia county, so I suspect that we may be subject to the same regulations. If you have more than a 10kW Duke Energy does require a disconnect switch to be installed and accessible from outside. So you will need at least that box on the outside of your house even if the rest go in the garage.

Anyone hav an idea of how to help the fire department with permitting more than one powerwall installed. Oakland CA Fire Department has imy solar roof on hold for a couple months now because I want more than one Powerwall. I don't know what else I can do to help this along, other than cancelling my order and have the solar roof with one powerwall installed then pay for Tesla to come back and install the other powerwalls at another time when it's approved with a second install charge. Does anyone else have any ideas of how to handle my situation?
Thanks for your comments.

I just now got an email from Tesla letting me know that I had my PTO and I could turn on my system. It also gave me helpful instructions on how to turn my system on. I’m sure glad they sent those because I had no idea how to turn on the system

congrats! That’s a good one on the instructions- you’ve already been giving the rest of us lessons for months!
The best number I found is 877-571-7652. You should be able to speak to an energy advisor there.
