    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    Call me "old school", but I like a spare tire. Yes, they can be hard to come by, but my 2022 Lincoln Corsair PHEV has one. My Corvette does not and cannot, but it comes with Michelin run-flats. I'm aware there is a third-party spare that doesn't quite fit in a MY. All I'm asking for is a...

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    I've read the last 5 pages of this thread but didn't see any mention of Jupiter having Powershare or an optional spare tire. Any word on these two items? Thanks.

    Good question from building inspector.

    Is there any workaround to install a Gateway v2 remote disconnect in a Gateway v1? Thanks.

    First Powershare home installation

    I'm slightly confused. Currently have a microinverter PV system, two PW2 and a Gateway v1. Tesla Powershare web site says: Installation 1 • Universal Wall Connector • Tesla Gateway • Backup Switch (optional) 2 1 Equipment sold separately. No additional equipment...

    PW disconnect inside or outside?

    @miimura & @Vines , I have a GW1 & PW2. Is there any way to use remote battery disconnect? If not, changing Gateways seems easier (more expensive?) than running new cables. Any other benefits to GW2? Thanks.

    PW disconnect inside or outside?

    Kansas City area. Apparently, only initial installs need permit/inspection (same as if I added PV panels). Additions do not. There is no PTO. Installer just turns it on. I will check with inspector next week to see if this is correct. Thanks.

    PW disconnect inside or outside?

    --Per installer, no permit/inspection required for additional PW. --I do trust the installer. --I asked installer what AWG would be required for disconnect. He eyeballed what I have already on main panel and he admittedly guessed it would likely be 2AWG, but by no means was making an official...

    PW disconnect inside or outside?

    Had a second PW2 installed yesterday. First was installed about four years ago. They are located in the middle of the walk-out basement. Yesterday, installer was telling me code four years ago did not require PW disconnect to be outside by my solar disconnect. Disconnect is next to PWs in...

    Can't find PW rebate form on Android app where Tesla says it is

    Took about 6 weeks to process rebate. Got an email saying expect a check within a couple of weeks, but got it in a few days. Dropped off the app the same day as the email.

    Any Benefit for TOU Power Shifting in My Situation?

    If I recall correctly, think the installer suggested that with it only cycling between 98-100% daily, it should last 20 years.

    Can't find PW rebate form on Android app where Tesla says it is

    I called Tesla. My third party installer neglected to update the warranty on the new battery. They just merged the warranty with the four-year old battery. Tesla rep corrected it, had to log out and back in, and now rebate link shows up on app as advertised. On a side note, interesting how...

    Can't find PW rebate form on Android app where Tesla says it is

    Thanks for the update. I guess you're getting installed directly by Tesla. Mine is by a certified 3rd party. They don't know anything about the rebate.

    Mount PWs on basement wall or floor?

    Left the existing first PW on the wall (right side of pic) and put the new second PW on the floor. If I get a third, it will sandwich with the one on the floor.

    Is this a PW2 coolant leak?

    The film was off. In fact, the film was hiding the damage until film was removed.
