I don't know how big of a topic PTO is these days but I remember a time when many threads were about PTO delays (or maybe that was on Reddit, I don't recall). Anyway, I'm in Los Angeles with LADWP and it took one week. So it can theoretically be that fast.
Back story is that I was holding back the final payment because of a reimbursement dispute for damage that they did. This dragged on for months and when we finally resolved it, I completed payment. They said PTO takes about six weeks with LADWP so I asked them to expedite me because of all the delays. On 4/19 my project advisor told me that they had not submitted yet and he'd see if they could possibly expedite. On 4/21 I received an email from LADWP that they were going to install a NET meter. Today, on 4/27 they installed it and told me I have PTO.
So if anyone is in LADWP and your solar company tells you that PTO is taking a long time because of the electric company, that is a big fat lie. Tesla submitted for my PTO at some point between 4/19-4/21 and I had PTO on 4/27. It can happen that fast.
Tesla says they can't proceed until they receive a confirmation email from LADWP but the guy who put the new meter in said that email will be sent today or tomorrow.
Now the ball is in Tesla's court and I don't know how fast they will get this wrapped up but I'm happy with how fast the PTO process is going.
