I've talked with other solar people. They can install powerwalls but they're impossible to get (quelle surprise)

Solar installation shutting down in certain markets.

And they charge a fortune to install. I hope Tesla puts pressure on certified installers to stick to teslas pricing for powerwall installation.

For that to happen Tesla would need to sell Powerwalls to certified installers at Tesla's cost. My understanding is, so far, that Tesla sells Powerwalls to installers at retail pricing.
If they did that, they'll just mark up something else or simply, not take the job. No one should have to work for free (I don't think either of us would neither).
The problem with this busines model is their installers are competing with Tesla for work and will NEVER be able to price compete ever.

Tesla cancels solar projects en masse, scales back solar division
Tesla has canceled solar projects en masse across the US as the company says that it is shutting down its solar operations in some markets.
electrek.co
Now we learn that Tesla is canceling many solar projects, including some in advanced stages, and the company is saying that it shutting down operations in some markets.
I'm hoping that the emails and texts reminding me that my installation is on Monday, December 1, means I am not part of that.

There is, and this newly created thread was merged into it. Explaining because if I dont, your post looks out of place as it is in the thread being talked about instead of the separate thread someone spun up.
I work for “Evil Dynamics” and there was a time where we had a 8 hour gate on overtime, so I’ve worked hundreds of hours for free!

The same thing happened to me in 2021. Ordered in February, then they tried to raise the price after it was inspected by the city and permitted, and I just refused to cancel or agree. Then, out of the blue, they called and said can we start installing next week at the original price in October. Took 3 weeks in my case for the install.

I can give you a real world example of using Tesla support. A tree fell in our back yard and a limb from the tree damaged about 6 non-working solar tiles. I immediately called Tesla and a local authorized installer for bids to give to my insurance. The local company gave me a bid that day and I did not hear from Tesla for 4 months or so. When I finally did hear from Tesla after constantly calling them, the bid was twice the local company so I went with the local company. I was not very happy with Tesla support. I'm glad I do have a local company I can call who are authorized and use Tesla parts.
Bill,
How did you receive your refund (credit back to card, check, etc.)? I'm in Sussex county with the same timeline and haven't heard a thing on the refund but got the cancellation emails in July after being fully permitted for a second system. I have no idea of who to contact if the refund doesn't show up...
Thanks,
Chris
Changed again…. No more grid charging;PHooray! Extra 4 percent off my tax bill and I can legally charge from grid.

I would rather have 26% tax credit this year rather then 30% next year. Next year I will have the model Y credit anyway. Glad to get the powerwalls this year in time for winter. Never know when rolling blackout might start.

Mine is on hold. So come Dec 26, I will let them know I’m ready!
Tesla just has to accept that they will have to sit on inventory until next year.
Tax credit year is driven by PTO date. If system is installed mid Dec it is not very likely that it will fully approved before the end of the year.
Tax credit is 30% this year after the inflation reduction act was signed.
I already have solar, so I expect everything will be on when they leave.
I could be wrong but 30% is next year isn’t it!?
