Trying to decide if it is worth going from standard HVAC system to heat pump. I'm based in Northern California where temps are mild. Winter mornings hit in low 30s and summer temps hit highs in high 90s low 100s. With that said, I just got PTO on a a 12kW system with 2 Powerwalls in October...

I got PTO activated last week and since turning it on, I've just monitoring our usage pattern. Setup is 12kW System + 2 PW. Tesla settings is self-powered mode with 80/20 reserve split. Average house consumption is ~18.7kWh with solar being ~37.2kWh (28% to home, 25% to PW, 47% to grid). My...

Installers wrapped up their install today. I didn't go through Tesla, but went through a local installer and got a 12 kw system with 2 Powerwalls. Within about 30 minutes of the installer commissioning the system, I got an e-mail from Tesla about my powerwalls and then was able to see it in my...

While the install started last Tuesday, August 30, the installer's truck got into an accident and they weren't able to complete the installation the next day. They come back Wednesday this week to finish the install and hopefully turn the system on. It is 12kW with 2 Powerwalls. With that...

Installation on my system is scheduled for next Tuesday and excited about the process. Will be getting a 12kW system with 2 Powerwalls. Today, I have an EV vehicle and currently on EV2-A plan which has: Off Peak: 12:00 AM - 3:00 PM Partial Peak: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM - Midnight Peak...

I just received my system design and I'm a little surprised but I'm no expert. Can I get a look over by the group here? It looks like they are doing 30 panels, 30 microinverters and 2 Powerwalls to create a 12kW system size, estimating 16,536kWh annual consumption. I don't know why they are...

Looking to go solar. I have local installers who has provided quotes for a ~10.2kW system. They are using LG Neon R 425W panels, Enphase IQ8A microinverters and Tesla Powerwalls (on backorder). They've quoted me at $69K (pre tax credit) and have guaranteed that they would be able to get...

I'm hoping to get solar on the house before NEM 3.0 and the tax credit reduces to 22% I have less than a year of energy usage in the new house but in the last few months, with this heat, I've been running the AC at "free will" more often than not. I have 1 Tesla vehicle which I charge maybe...

I know I am going to regret this but I am listing my fully loaded, phantom black pearl manual 2010 R8 V10 that has just under 24,000 miles for $100K. The car has a carbon fiber steering wheel, RS front grille, HRE P47 20" wheels with plenty of tread, and Fabspeed valved exhaust that you can...

Pretty straight forward, looking for NEMA 14-50 Adapter

For some of the other cars I own, there are dedicated picture threads for specific colors so that one is able to get an idea for some of the mods others have done (e.g. wraps, tints, wheels, suspension, etc.) Since I now own a beautiful 2020 pearl white Model 3 performance, wanted to see what...

I took delivery of my Tesla yesterday and I am fairly anal about my cars but I am also aware that these reps have hundreds of deliveries they need to go to each day. I didn't want them sitting around while I go over every single spec of the car. The only major flaw I saw during my quick look...

My tesla is arriving faster than I expected and I do not have any kind of charging in my garage at the moment. Looking for recommendations on an electrician to do a 240v install. I'm in the San Jose area. Thank you!

I am currently scheduled to take delivery of my Tesla on 12/26 and want to maximize rebates/credits available both from a federal and state perspective. Is there a thread and/or site which lays all of this out? According to Tesla's website it shows a federal credit of $1,875 and then a...

This is exactly why I didn't want to order my Performance 3. Literally ordered it yesterday and this article comes out. If this were to happen, it would immediately kill the value of the car. Tesla leaks code hinting at Model 3 100 kWh battery pack, Ludicrous mode, and more - Electrek

Let me know what you have. I have my order in but happy to cancel it.

I went ahead and placed my order for a 2020 Model 3 Performance. Don't anticipate it to come before the December time frame, so I'll continue to check inventory in the case I get lucky and can buy to take advantage of the tax credit. With that said, what are the "things" I need to do to get...

I am pretty much set in picking up a Performance Model 3, but feel as though buying right now is an awkward time. Anyone else feel the same? For example: - If I were to order now, I highly doubt I get the car before December, so you won't get the $1,875 federal tax credit. So then do we...

So I was pretty set in ordering a Model 3 Performance but now with the latest acceleration upgrade, there isn't much performance difference - Model 3 LR - $48,990 + $2,000 acceleration = $51,990 for 322 mile range and now 3.9 0-60 - Model 3 Performance - $56,990 for 310 mile range and 3.2 0-60...

I've always bought my cars used because I did not want to take the large depreciation hit. Assuming a Model 3 Performance is say $65K out the door, what are your guys best estimates on value of the car at say 50K/75K/100K miles vs say picking up a used S Performance who from a buy perspective...

I'm considering coming to Tesla. My last 3 cars are a 911 Turbo, Stage 1 RS7 and currently a 2010 manual V10 R8. As you can see, I like the torque of the turbos and/or a large N/A motor for that low end torque. With that said, I thought a Model 3 Performance would be sufficient, and don't get...

As some of you know from my recent posts, I'm contemplating about selling my R8 and going to a Tesla due to my future 40 mile commute with new job. I want to see the performance of these cars in comparison to a ICE before I make a commitment. I've gone to both Tesla Santana Row and Tesla...

One of the primary reasons I'm exploring a Tesla is due to its autopilot feature. If I am commuting to work and have it on autopilot and for some reason, traffic comes to a complete stop, will the autopilot recognize this and stop the car? I thought I read somewhere that the autopilot...

I know this is going to be far fetched, but looking to pick up most likely a Model 3 Performance or a 2019+ P100D. Exterior color preference I'm open to except red. Interior must be black. If local to Bay Area, even better but open to looking outside of the Bay Area. Let me know!

Hi All, Considering a Tesla and just trying to forecast my PG&E cost. Wife and I live in a fairly standard town house in the Bay Area (2 bed/2.5 bath 3 story 1700 sq ft). We are currently on a Tiered plan and historically, our average bill is $120-$130/mo. which I find is high as we don't use...

First post here and complete EV dummy so forgive my need for education. In short, I took a new job which will require me to commute around 100 miles round trip 2-3 times a week. 90 of those miles being highway with some traffic, 10 of them city. I currently have a 2010 6-speed V10 Audi R8 and...
