Some great trails out there. Even just going and spending time by the water makes for a fun day!
The Long Tail Pipe Argument............ Mines reaaaaaaaaaaally long
Approx 150 Gigameters long. Starting at the car, to the outlet in the garage, up and around and down to the basement, then up to the roof of the house and all the way to the sun.

I was going to , but after knowing that all the 12,000/ Tesla employee's got access to reserve them already and all the current owners will be given access to reserve earlier than general public I am having serious second thoughts. IMO it's a great gesture by Tesla.
I'll be there. Probably when the mall opens. Bringing my lawn chair. I got another comfy one if you want to come around the same time.
Yes it is an excellent gesture but many Tesla retail employees (product specialist) probably makes $12-$14 an hour so $35K USD car is a bit out reach to some of them.
Excellent, if I go it will be around lunch time. If not I will probably reserved online.
Current owners reserve at the same time as everyone else, our orders just get placed earlier in the queue.
Model 3 unveil Contest
I was planning on driving down to Calgary to stand in line until I got that e-mail, now I'm reconsidering.
Nice...Totally makes sense..why should you go through all the trouble when you have a guaranteed priority, load it up, you jump the crowd again.

I spoke to the fellow at the Calgary Tesla store just yesterday. I said the same thing. "Oh, I'll just stay home instead of lining up". He still said I get an advantage over the non-Tesla owners... but that I would still be lining up in the owners-line. Coming from Edmonton, I understand your reason for staying home. But, the wife wants this Model 3 like yesterday, so I'm going to try and get in the front of the "owners line".

Do post some photos of the line up, have fun.
its a 5.4kW inverter for my new solar array (still being installed at the moment)
since i live alone with a monthly usage of around 450-500kWh per month, my ~6kW array should effectively zero that energy usage.

When I talked to SkyFire they said that the Province restricts how much solar you can put on your rooftop. Do you know what the rules are about that?
anything under 1MW is okay for residential, and no house to my knowledge is large enough for 1MW of generation, even at theoretical maximum harvest you cant make that much power off solar. the limit of solar is 1.36kW per M² (or the amount of power a regular 120v outlet provides).
Enmax says anything OVER 1MW is not microgen anymore
as far as insurance (TD meloche monnex specifically) they say anything under 10kW and there will not be any rise for insurance prems. but this will differ between companies.

Ahh, I have microinverters. So you're saying that you chose (or were recommended to use) a standalone inverter as you were unlikely to need to expand?

they said for my setup and the amount of shading that panels + DC optimizer (per panel) + inverter was the best/most effective solution.
my house is not optimal for solar due to the roof angles, im almost tempted to move and build a house specifically for solar. have a single 40° tilt curved roof slope with enough room for 50kW worth of solar panels and just have everything electric. Then for the garage, same setup, another 50kW, Battery shed 10kW
.maybe i should just be my own utility company and buy a huge piece of farm land, setup a 1GW solar farm.
speaking of of this, apparently tesla's power wall is not Canadian electrical code authorized because the pack is too high voltage. The max is 48v.

Google was in St. Albert, AB in September, 2015
I wondered when this might appear but I guess it took about 5-6 months to update their website.
