    Tesla officially launches Charge On Solar

    We finally got the latest updates on our Powerwalls and one of our cars so I made a quick video of how it all works. I think they did a really nice job on this. I've got 3 Powerwall 2's, and two vintages of solar. An original Solaredge 7.4 kWh system and another smaller system 4.8 kWh with a...

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant in CA

    Same here I was just checking the app randomly and saw the event so I dropped my reserve to help out. Seems like they had a last minute crunch so a cool way to help the grid :).

    Cybertruck spotted driving around Portola Valley, looked smaller than I expected

    I just saw the funky camouflaged Cybertruck driving on Alpine Road in Portola Valley. That's one city over from Tesla's Palo Alto HQ. Here is a quick video below from my Model Y's cameras so it's not super high quality. I was most shocked that is seemed a lot smaller than I expected in person...

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    Man this was a big step back, I’ve had Tesla’s since 2016 and generally like most of the UX updates. This one has some nice improvements to the visuals but moving often used options like wipers, seat heaters, defrost was unfortunate hopefully they bring that back or allow you to customize the...

    Adding a hot tub after whole house Solar + Powerwalls, don't want it backed up

    We have a Tesla solar + 3 PW system and right now everything in the house is backed up. We had the system put in nearly two years ago so they moved all the circuits from the main panel and a sub panel to feed from a new backup panel. We are now looking to add an electric hot tub 40A 220 but...

    Powerwall Compatible HVAC

    Yes the Mitsubishi system has these ducted air handlers (Compare Products | Ducted Air Handler | Mitsubishi Electric) that swap into where our existing gas furnace was in the garage. And then they were able to get this slim smaller air handler in a small area above an addition (Compare Products...

    Powerwall Compatible HVAC

    We paid about $31k for our swap which was the main air handler plus adding a second slim "pizza box" air handler and ducts in an addition, plus all the existing exposed ducts being replaced.

    Powerwall Compatible HVAC

    I'll second the Mitsubishi, we have the a 60k BTU heat pump the MXZ-8C60NA2 which works great with 3 Powerwalls. It heats and cools a 3000 sq foot house. I generally see 2500-4000 watts in the winter for heating and 3000-4500 watts in the summer when it's running. We are in California so a...

    Storm Watch for 1/25/2021

    I have a feature request to allow customer initiated stormwatch a few times a year :). We are in the SF Bay area in the hills and getting all sorts of warnings about wind and heavy rain including from our utility which often means trees taking out power lines. I just manually set my system to...

    Will Tesla pull back equipment for siding replacement?

    I assume I'll need to pay for this.

    Will Tesla pull back equipment for siding replacement?

    We are having our siding replaced in the first part of next year. We have a Solar + Powerwall setup with the Powerwalls inside but the inverter and other boxes are on the side of the house. Had anyone had luck getting Tesla to pull some of the inverters and other boxes away from the siding so...

    Dog Barrier for Model Y?

    We just picked up our Model Y this week. We have a mid-sized dog and put him in the back today where he has plenty of room. He quickly jumped over the rear seats :). So we want to put a pet barrier up to keep him in the back. I found this one from weathertech but wanted to see if anyone has...

    California waiting room Q4

    We picked up the car today and they were a bit behind schedule but the car was in great shape. The only issue we found was a hard to close frunk. Mobile service is coming on Thursday to fix it. Most of the other pickups we saw were black Model Ys as well. I have a 2019 Model 3 and the Y has a...
