Yep, double scroll wheel to the rescue! I couldn't download 2023.6.9 and the car couldn't find my network. Network found and update downloading........ :cool:

Same here when I go to paddle my canoe........

Good ole FOX News..........

I have been wondering the same thing but from a low milage driver. I have received 10K Supercharging miles and only put 6K on my 2020 Chevy Bolt in three years. Granted, that was during the pandemic but my plan has been to "top up" weekly at the Supercharger and top up at home once in awhile...

One might assume that the Tax credits were aimed at those that actually NEEDED an incentive to be able to afford a new Tesla vehicle. As to why or how Tesla chose to offer the incentives, I'm guessing cancelled orders. In my case (lease) there was no guarantee that the tax credit would be...

YES

The 10,000 miles landed here in central Florida, Jan 4, 2023 mid afternoon!! :cool:

I just ordered my first bifocals specifically for driving BUT, when I tried them on, the "reading distance" was far too close to my head to be helpful reading the screen. The gentleman took them back and is going to change the lenses. We'll see how this adjustment works out.

Now the price is $350 which is really tempting BUT my 12 year old (purchased it for my first Volt) EVSE is working just fine with my new Model 3. :cool:

I must have missed that as a date was never mentioned in the texts that I received. THANK YOU!

I picked up my Model 3 on the 19th and I'm not seeing any supercharger credits yet. I was told that it may take a few days to show up......... SURE HOPE SO!

They now have added 10,000 miles of free Supercharger use!

Long time lurker here as I drove 4 Chevy electric vehicles. That ended this month with the discount and actually having vehicles in stock! Model 3 rear wheel delivery date 12/20......:cool:

This is what their "finished" job looked like....... Looks like a squirrel "grand entrance" to me.

I have to update, Tesla just notified me that they are actually coming out to install my pest abatement!! I had thought that it was a dead issue........

This is the one that I have been looking at........... SolaTrim Pest Barrier for Solar Panels | Nixalite

My cost would have been $650 for a 6.615kw system.

I ordered it here in central Florida & on the day of the install they didn't have it. They said that they hadn't had any in stock for over a year. Then they sent a new billing that removed the charge for the "pest abatement". Obviously they didn't want to be bothered!!

As we went into "Storm Watch" (central Florida) I noticed that the Powerwalls were running down to 98% and staying there. Twice I reverted off of storm watch & switched to self power just to get the batteries back up to 100%. Luckily the storm passed and I showed a power outage of 10...

What I find interesting is that the Powerwalls have been showing a max of 97% with "Storm Watch" which is the lowest "full" that I have ever noticed.

"Storm Watch" showed up on my APP this morning!! I like the latest trends!! KEEP GOING EAST!!

Every recent hurricane my GF, her mom & daughter with me run to the center of the state. Each time the damage is minimal (screens and shrubs) and I promise myself I will stay next time. I stayed for one over a decade ago and fell asleep as it hit just south of us. Slept like a baby!! :cool:

not yet but I switched to backup only just in case it didn't work.

Barely one month of operation & looking at a cat 4 storm heading here to test the installation.......... :eek:

Under Performance the app seems to be missing the past three days of Powerwall output. So much for keeping an accurate track of power production.

No regrets here...

I had an AC (rotary) with an LRA of 58 and they wouldn't OK a whole house install. I ended up spending 9K for a new scroll unit with an LRA of 55.2 before Tesla's tech team would OK the full house install.

It's the LRA that is important. I have 2 Powerwalls & the LRA (one unit) had to be 56 or less. Also MUST be scroll compressor. With 3 Powerwalls the LRA can be higher but scroll is a must!

I am in my first 2 weeks of operation & haven't even gotten a bill yet after permission to operate.. I am not on any TOU plan and I am just charging when I feel like it. I travel very little ( 8K per year) Generally I would charge during daylight hours just to feel like I'm using the solar...

All these decades waiting for battery tech to be able to provide decent backup. I sure wish that the US had kept on going with Carter's initiatives back in the day!!

I have a Chevy Bolt and charging is a big draw. No problem as long as the grid is up. If we had a prolonged outage (hurricane) I would look for a public charger that was still operational. I could also lower the amps to charge the car.

New meter installed..........

My system isn't turned on yet but this thread may help Let's Talk FPL Rate Options

I'm still waiting for their PTO but did run the system long enough to bring the PWs to 99% then I shut down again.

I got this email yesterday... so far so good. The odd thing is that I asked the installers how I could tell when the meter was changed out? The answer was that the new meter would be sealed with green tags. A week or more ago I found that the tags on the meter had changed to green tags. To...

When the grid goes off my inverter resets so no solar for 5 minutes and the PWs were at 75%. When the solar came back on a bank of clouds had moved in.......

OK, I did an off grid test for about 30 minutes & lowered the thermostat. The AC cycled perfectly and even my UPS units seemed to forgive the interruption. They both signaled the loss of power but then turned off as the Powerwall replaced grid power.

That is what they did and your hint at being closest to the meter helped. They ran out of the meter to the back of the Gateway & installed a 150 breaker. We did a 27 minute off grid test but I became paranoid that my AC compressor might not have tried to kick in during that 27 minutes.

That would be the breaker inside the Gateway? I tried the main breaker in what used to be the main box and that removed all of the loads. The only other is the one inside the Gateway. Got the answer Yes.. the breaker INSIDE the gateway!! The battery is powering the house & the AC...

Maybe I'm not doing it right? I am switching off the breaker marked "main" and when I do I lose both the inverter & the powerwalls. Which leads to me pulling energy from the grid. This test I did with the Powerwalls at 65% and solar producing 4.8kw.

Granted, I haven't gotten my PTO yet but this doesn't seem right. This morning we had a momentary outage which registered on my UPSs. What the system does is turn off the inverter and no power is coming from the solar or the batteries. The batteries were at 24% and the solar was producing...

I just want to use the system as it seems so stupid for it to be up there doing nothing. Tomorrow I will turn it on again to charge the powerwalls.
