Funny thing, I was running on Ethernet for the past three years and it started getting very unstable and rebooting all the time. Only turned the WiFi back on as an experiment.

And now the WiFi can't find any available networks. Junky network module just locks up!

10 days with no issues and now 2 reboots in the last 12 hours. The randomness is bizarre.

Personally $2000 might be worth it, but $9500 definitely isn't (if you lose the tax credit due to paint colors).

Better question is why didn't they know that one of the units failed a firmware update!

There's actually two different 19" rims listed which is interesting. WHEEL- 19X10.0J, ET45- WISHBONE WHEEL- 19x8.5J ET34- WISHBONE

PW3 seem more secure since they hide the password, but with PW+ the password is printed on the cover and it's only five characters anyway. A lot of the devices are located outside and easily accessible. You certainly can lock the covers, but most people aren't going to do that.

Did you get an alert in the app that the grid was down? Very unusual for the Gateway breaker to trip. Breakers do go bad sometimes, so also something to have Tesla (or an electrician) check out.

Yeah they clearly don't want people actually finding out when their systems go down! Or were never installed properly in the first place. I've become an expert troubleshooter with my system. Easier and faster than trying to get Tesla to a) understand the issue, b) send someone out, c) explain...

Usually within the limits of your utility. If your utility doesn't care, then Tesla will often sell you whatever you want.

I got it working. Looks like your app makes the decision to use local api or tedapi based on the QR Code button. Someone posted an online QR Code generator so I didn't have to go outside. Created the QR Code, printed it out, scanned it with Netzero and it pulled the tedapi data. Finally able to...

Agreed. The issue appears to be somewhere on your roof. Everything at your inverters looks as expected based on your strings. Call (877) 961-7652. Option 2 I think. The Powerwall support people are much more responsive than the normal solar people. Tell them you have a whole string...

I understand why it needs 192.168.91.1, but why does it require the QR code? Shouldn't connecting to the Gateway WiFi and using that IP address work the same way? Or is that just how the logic is coded in the app?

Very surprised they don't show which panels are hooked into which MPx. Mine is very detailed with panels, expected voltages, and expected currents. Maybe they're getting lazy and not showing the customers the full plans anymore? That being said, correct me if I'm wrong but it appears you should...

I'll have to try again. I was only seeing one of my two PW+ when connected to the Gateway WiFi like it was using the old local API and not the tedapi. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong on my end or not. I can see the strings on both PW+ when connected through Tesla One. Oh, maybe I...

Also hasn't talked about a FW version in over a year. Most of the limited notes are about the Tesla app itself.

@ajdadja Definitely request the Full Plan Set. That'll show how your system is wired and will make it much easier to correlate to the PW+ numbers to see where the issue is.

Does Netzero have support for the tedapi (Tesla One/Tesla Pros)? The normal local API only shows the first PW+ (I have two) every since FW 23.44.x.

I've got whiplash trying to keep track of their pricing 'decisions'. Two changes in less than one month?

I'm mad I missed 7 hours of production yesterday cause my system locked up in the morning and I was too busy at work to notice!

The warranty is to fix the system, not compensate for lost production. Just like if your car failed, they're typically not paying for your loss of not being able to drive.

They rarely post the changelog and even then it's usually very sparse.

The Ultra Red one is up in Santa Monica...beautiful!

Reboot today even took down the inverters. Now I'm worried my Gateway is starting to die.

Sorry, totally missed that. So used to debugging US systems that I didn't even look.

Every house is different. I have a larger house and at night it varies between 0.5-1kW. If everything is off and you're pulling 1.5kW, you're either missing something or the monitoring is confused.

Surge protection is all about risk mitigation. Most systems can't survive a direct lightning strike. Even a close strike can shift the potential of the ground enough to fry electronics. Layered surge protection is also a good idea. Type 1/2 for the house and then additional surge protectors...

You can also try calling them. Tesla is notorious for not responding to emails. Powerwall support number is ‭(877) 961-7652‬.

Looks like Sense solar reporting is off by the same 1.4kW. Might have to start doing current measurements in your electrical panels to see where the error is occuring.

Could you explain more and/or provide some pics? Normally that would mean something isn't being monitored correctly. 1.5kW is a lot.

Click on Summary on the Powerwall screen. It'll list Backup Reserve.

Probably misconfigured CTs (current transformers). Unfortunately very typical on new installs.

Not really. It will slide left when passing a semi, but often gets very close before it decides to move. And it only works for very large trucks. I want to tell it to stay near the left lane edge all the time when in the left-most lane.

Tesla usually uses transformer. Both can be correct depending on the actual device.

OMG could Tesla please add this! I hate being centered in the lane while driving in the left-most or right-most lane. Need as much room between me and the idiots on their phones weaving between the lane lines.

Do you have a Tesla account? That might be part of the issue. When I log into Tesla One it just redirects to a Tesla site. Tesla One is really an app for installers, but it can give you more details into how the system is working than is normally displayed for customers. Do you have the regular...

Grid charging on or off (I'm guessing off). And what's your backup reserve set at? 20% possibly.

The mystery continues. Today I had two longer than usual dropouts of the Gateway connection. 16 minutes and 14 minutes. And it only rebooted during the longer first outage and not the second outage.

Is this due to the $7500 EV credit because the base prices are almost identical?

Interesting that you're still on 23.44.0. As usual they never say what changed or when there's a rollback. Did you get 23.44.0 on 4/28 or was that just a reboot cycle?

PlugShare is very handy and I also use Chargeway. Chargeway allows very fine filtering on plug types and output levels so you can customize the map view to what you're looking for. Tucson, AZ to Los Angeles, CA had a similar lack of chargers six years ago. If a given charger was down or full...

Any evidence that Tesla is using this on the new performance models? Brembo Sensify is a full brake-by-wire system. Here's an article from 2022 that better explains it. https://www.motortrend.com/news/brembo-sensify-brakes-provide-better-performance/

Sounds like he started to talk about the adaptive suspension but then realized it wasn't announced yet. AI...now with MORE bacon!

I'm running Powerwall Dashboard. It's quite handy if you're really into the low level data and monitoring your system. There are also some phone apps that report similar information. https://github.com/jasonacox/Powerwall-Dashboard You can also access some of the API locally if you have a...

Anyone know if some 18's will fit? I seem to recall aftermarket 18's for the prior performance model.

Probably fired all the marketing people. :(

Anyone else experiencing a lot more Gateway 2 crashes with 24.4.0? My system is almost three years old, but recently I've been seeing a lot of Gateway reboots. Normally this only happens when there's a new firmware install (or the rare lockup), but now I'm seeing them every few days. Very...
