I have a single Powerwall, and an 8.2 KW system. Up until now, I’ve had the majority of my power outages in the morning, and the result was hardly noticeable; everything in the home continued to run normallly, and the solar panels continued to generate power and run the house; all excess solar...

I’m signed up for a battery power export program, and my gateway is set to export 5KWs for 2 hours each evening. This has been working flawlessly since originally provisioned back in April. However, twice this week, the export has been just over half the normal amount during the configured...

I’d like to be able to set the vehicle Charging Threshold when my grid is offline. I assumed that because I can’t see this option, Tesla had simply not set it up correctly, so I chatted with a rep. The first rep switched me to the vehicle side, who quickly understood my problem and sent me...

I believe I have the right sized PV system for normal daily use of power. I’m able to fully charge a Powerwall and Model 3 during the morning, and in the afternoon I turn on a Spa pump which primarily uses the solar to run until dusk, and which point the Spa turns off and the loads are serviced...

Is it possible to access the gateway's web interface using its DHCP assigned IP address? I've just setup my GW2 on WiFi, and it seems to talk to my router without any issues, but attempting to ping it or access its web server doesn't work. I've read numerous posts about using different browsers...

I just had a new PV system and Tesla Powerwall physically installed. Both are currently turned off, waiting for the installer to “program” them. There is also a building inspector visit planned prior to approving the permit for the installation. Then there is some review by the power company...

I’m hopefully getting my M3 within a month or so. I’ve decided to do the Tesla trade in option. Is this a hassle when you go to pickup your new car? Should I spend any time/money cleaning it up, or does it just get taken away to some auction site?

Planning the arrival of my new 3 later in August. First thing I’m thinking of doing is a ceramic coating. Anyone have positive recommendations for places that do this on Oahu? Is PPF worth considering here? Seems like we don’t have to huge trucks and high speeds of the mainland.
