Thanks for this. This was one of the disappointments for me. I prefer(ed) stalk cruise control/auto pilot

i don't want to get too off topic but i had TOU-D-PRIME, our solar installers recommended to switch to TOU-D-4-9PM. we have 35 panels and no batteries. we have 2 teslas. generally, we only charge one daily but there are days we charge both. i'd say on heavy use we would use around 80+ kWh in a day. otherwise, we are either on negative or under 15kWh daily. monthly, i noticed we are on negative usage except november to february when we have less sun and more cloudy days.
what i see with 4-9 plan is:
Daily Basic Charge: 3 cents per day
Minimum Daily Charge: 35 cents per day
Baseline Credit of 9 cents per kWh on monthly baseline allocation
Example monthly allocation is 200kWh gets you $18 credit on your bill
for PRIME
Daily Basic Charge: 40 cents
Minimum Daily Charge: None
Baseline Credit: None
the rates outside 4-9pm are lower for prime. in my use case, i believe the baseline credit is an advantage because for most of the year, my monthly usage is lower than my monthly allocation (i don't know if it's 200kWh) because it's usually negative. SCE billing is really confusing. all i know is when i was on prime, i would pay about $100 monthly. now switching to TOU4-9 and annual billing i'm at $286, 9 of 12 months. with more sun, i will probably get it close to $0 once my annual bill is due in september.
just wanted to share. we may have different usage but have a look at the other rate plan and if you have solar, i would look at the annual billing instead of monthly.
OK - now for another WTF?
I've been grousing about the USB sticks in the new XLR not appearing on the display. Believe me when I tell you I've tried just about everything. So this morning I decided to try something off the wall. I have some smaller USB sticks that I got from Office Max. 32 Giggers. Plugged one of those rascals into the glove box USB port and - hazanga, it shows up on the display!! Then I format the thing with the app in the car's system. It formats the stick and it promptly disappears from the display!!
Sounds like a software glitch to me. Might be a good thing to check when you're inspecting your new X. I'll figure out a way to make Tesla Support aware of the problem....

if you need this functioning before they can figure out how to fix it, try the other front ports. i read somewhere that the front ones carry data signal as well. our '21 MYLR is having weird issues as well with the usb port in the glove box. if our car sits around w/ sentry mode off (at our house) for hours, when we wake it up, the usb will not mount and recording will not work. i have to unplug and plug it back in after a minute then it mounts and works as expected. i recently did a soft reset on the software and now it seems to work. this doesn't happen when we're out. the only difference is sentry mode is on so i assume the usb remains active as it's recording.
nice, the first 346 ive seen.

I've waited 443 days to say this ... I'm a VINNER!
Ordered 3/21/21 blue/cream 7 seat 20" no FSD

Thank you. I know Plaid has something to do with it. Not sure about what else other than luck? I ordered from a Tesla Store at the local mall here in Tampa as opposed to via cellphone or PC. Not sure if that has anything to do with it either. But who knows? My VIN might get yanked like it has with other members here and I end up stepping back in line again.
I got this text many weeks before a tighter EDD range from July, and then VIN.
Awesome, thanks! Yeah seems like it’s a pretty good deal to just stick with the parking spot. Surprised our supercharging in WA isn’t somewhat cheaper considering our electricity rates compared to CA. The only road trips I do are to Chelan and Whistler, BC so the superchargers won’t be used much outside of those destinations

Order: 2/6/21 DC: Kennesaw, Ga Blue, LR, 5 seat
A short note. Don't know how valid the source is, but someone posted on Twitter yesterday that Tesla has nearly 500k orders on the books in total for all 4 models currently for sale. Unfilled orders for the X stand @ 22,000, for the S less than half that @ around 9,000. Take it FWIW.
I’m tickled about that! they are finally cranking these puppies out. The first sit will be memorable after this long wait.
I dont know if the text means a VIN is imminent, but I can attest to the anxiety. Once you make the decision to drop this kind of money on a vehicle, my patience is zero. Looking every 30 minutes for VIN update. Its. Really. Tiring!!!!
