Same here. I confirmed twice with the scheduling people and also with the on site survey person. Scheduled for Jan 2 even though the website says to call.

I am told that if you only are ordering Powerwalls and no solar, that your Powerwall account on the Tesla site does not update past 'schedule installation' even if you have a confirmed install date. If you are installing solar and Powerwalls, they say that you will see your install date listed. I already have solar and am getting Powerwalls (install confirmed end January), so no install date listed for me.
Hmm.. Well I am only a data point of 1, but I am only installing Powerwalls (2), to connect to existing solar, and I see my install date in my tesla account online. Now, a variable "could" be, I have a solar city (now tesla) leased solar system on my house. In any case, I definitely see my install date in my account, but its very soon now (jan 6th-7th is what I am scheduled).

So I too have a legacy 2013 SolarCity (Tesla Energy) 16 kW solar system on a Power Purchase Agreement, but no install info on my Powerwall page (or any detailed info on my Solar page).

When I had my first install date (12/9) I saw the date. Then when I got bumped and rescheduled I never got a date listed again.

...well, that's the story the scheduling staff gave me when I called to reconfirm my appointment.

I'd like to hear about new rule enforcement for PowerWall installs starting today from those people who have actual PowerWall installs in 2020. I'm especially interested in higher numbers of PowerWalls in one site. I'm successively more interested as quantity installed in one site goes higher.
Someday, 100kWh PowerWall installs will be considered small sized systems, but today it seems like we aren't there yet.
That would be a perfect example. Pictures and any discussion about spacing, location, firewall requirements, and fire requirements in general would be great.

I mentioned this in another thread that asked this, but anyone installing right after the new year is going to be governed by the permits that tesla already pulled on their behalf (under 2019 rules). At least this is what tesla told me when I asked specifically. I doubt that is a "southern calfiornia local" rule. You will need to wait for someone to get an install where the permit has not been pulled in 2019... and that likely wont be installs in the first few weeks of 2020.

I am installed. All went very well. One small bit that did not get done that is NBD is to have it pre wired for a third Powerwall around the corner. They ended up doing a lot of mods to the other components and then that got forgotten. Two really great Tesla employees who were totally dedicated and did excellent work.
Now need to have it inspected but it's operational now. Another thing I did not realize is that the Time Based Control is not active from the get go. It appears to take a few days before the system makes that available in the app so I am just running it on Self-powered mode.

My system was installed on 12/31. Very professional job, power off for about 30minutes. Now waiting for building inspector and then PG&E approval before it's live. That said, they left the system running and seems to be working as expected.
Then they texted and called me (leaving voicemail) on 01/02 that they wanted to schedule my install! So the office coordination is Tesla as usual; right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing!

Very interested in anyone pulling a permit for 2 Powerwalls this year in California, wondering if that CalFire code applies.

It was off from about 9 to 2pm. They had to move lots of stuff around. Then about another 1.5 hours to configure everything, run tests, clean up etc. They were gone by 3:30.
