Our Advisor had told us a few weeks ago when we were getting ready to schedule our install that he wanted to apologize for not getting back to us sooner (think it was a few days) but said they were all super busy with work load. He had just been given I think he said a few hundred other orders to help out with and he was doing his best to read emails, listen to voice mails and answer people. The other day we spoke to him as we are now having some maintenance items scheduled before all the work is completed and we get inspection. We asked about his work load and he said he was now assigned to a different area of the country to help out and had about half the orders to handle.
So I think we all know Telsa is swamped with trying to get orders processed from start to finish with all of their teams involved and busy. So no, this would be a horrible idea if you ask me and unfair to people who are doing the best they can as fast as they can. What with all of the orders prior to this summer being completed, new panels and GWs that required new line drawings, install teams learning about the new equipment and I'm sure new employees hired, now we have had several natural disasters happening such as the massive wildfires in the West-Southwest and hurricanes on the East and Gulf Coast with even more people seeking solar and battery back up as a result.
BTW over the Labor Day weekend, I know Tesla employees were working. We received emails and texts regarding reviewing and signing of our Interconnection Agreement and also some scheduling communications on both Sunday night at 9:30 and also on Labor Day at 2:30 in the afternoon. During one of our install days the guys came out on a Saturday. BTW despite being as busy as they are everyone without exception in our dealings was courteous and professional. I have no doubt they are under pressure to complete orders and move on to the next. And I don't doubt this also true of third party installers who are working to get their customers installed before the next PSPS or power shut down happens.
