Rosyln Height SC is located inside the parking lot of Willis Row Strip Mall (CVS - 373 Willis Avenue, Roslyn Heights, NY 11577) and should come online within the next month or so as I spoke to the electrician and they said everything on their part is done and is just waiting for PSEGLI to turn...

Tesla doesn't have anything special in regards to its suspension, any trusted shop can do it. I've used Fury Automotive in Mineola, NY when my P85+ rear toe links and upper control arms were going bad (rear end tends to sway) and they changed them up for me after I got the parts from Tesla...

I guess my definition is a bit different as I am thinking of computer terminology which I am more familiar with. The physical isolation that you spoke of in my installation happens in the separate gateway box - which the tech says is the “transfer switch” - I am sure somehow the built in...

I can confirm the box on top of the PW2+ has a gateway as the gateway that’s active as the serial number matches what’s on my network while the standalone gateway 2.0 box is not.

Yes there’s another gateway box outside my fence next to the meter. Tesla disconnected my service line and put a gateway 2.0 box next to it and used that as a “Transfer Switch” between the Grid and Solar Array via PW2+. It then feed power back into my main service panel inside the basement. I...

Tesla disconnected my service feed from meter to inside the main panel in my basement. They used a Gateway 2.0 box as a “transfer switch” for grid and solar array from the PW2+. Which then feeds it back to main panel. I think the gateway 2.0 box has been disabled or only used for...

PW2+has 2 parts. Top rectangular box is an all-in-one enclosure for Gateway and the Tesla Inverter that shares the same (larger) mounting bracket with the 2nd part - the Powerwall module. I believe that the Gateway, Inverter and Powerwall is probably the same as standalone componets.

I've tried both. My Unifi shows the gateway 2.0 is connected to my Home Devices WiFi network (I keep all the smart devices on a separately network to avoid any potential security issues/backdoors) at 192.168.1.47 but unable to connect to it even when my iPhone and computer I'm using is...

NYS does not allow PW stacking. They must be 3 fts apart from each other and 3ft away from any egress. Photo is the screen on the installer/technician's phone (with his permission) It allows them to trouble shoot them w/o manually going into the Tesla Gateway 2.0 to turn off the grid to...

Might be less than 0.3kw loss due to rounding / significant digit as solar array is feeding 3 locations at the same time - up to 0.1kW rounding errors each.

I've seen some post saying the new PW2+ DOES NOT backfeed to the grid BUT in fact IT DOES - that's what I was trying to clarify.

Here’s my PW2+ installation. Note that the new PW2+ Does allow the solar array to do net-metering (back feeding the grid) while supplying power to both home use and battery storage.

Just noticed that his part# is 1014116-00-B (REVISION B) and it is showing as 90KWH. The one I had 1 year ago was 1014116-00-A and it was showing as a 85KWH pack (but in reality, it is better than the original 90kWH pack) Perhaps they realized they can just relabel it as a new 90KWH pack in...

Just an update, Battery degradation on the brand new pack is at 3.1% after maybe 3 supercharge sessions, and around bi-weekly 40A charging at home to 90% (I don't like topping it everyday) after about 10 months. Was 288-289 @ 100% rated miles when I first got it, now it is 279 @ 100% per iOS...

If they removed it from the parts catalog, it will not be made. They probably used it either because they are running out of refurb as they needed to concentrate on new cell development or they were doing some test to see how this turns out. Looks like those new refurb are pretty good too.
