Baby Shark! Lol!

2022 MP3 and no trial for me either... Are they rolling it out in some sort of staggered fashion, because my luck in those situations is always to be last in the cue :( 99.9% of people will be talking about new software updates, and then I'll get it like 2 months later :( I'm not really...

So this afternoon I was looking at my solar performance (So happy with the TeslaPowerwall and solar setup!) In the morning I was thinking that today would be a great day to monitor production since the forecast was for absolutely cloudless skies and mild temperatures. Getting closer to the...

Ah! That makes sense now! Too funny! So I guess it was a moderate coincidence that the two numbers were always very close to one another all of last year from month to month, but never actually EXACTLY the same... I was always assuming that the reason they were always "almost the same" was...

Yes, But... 9.6Kw +1 Powerwall+ I have to be a bit stingy in the evenings and monitor the best times to charge the car... My houses' "heartbeat" energy usage is .4-.6Kw and if I am proactive about things like not using the clothes dryer or oven or dishwasher etc after the sun goes down and...

Apologies that it took me so LONG to post the content of my two bills (blue and B&W) I get easily distracted and sometimes don't make it back to the site as often as I should :( Here is the first page of the B&W bill and the relevant page of the standard blue bill for the month of October...

Is it possible for the two different bills to be “out of sync” either timewise or calculation wise? My NEM Credit on my blue PG&E bill is over $100 less than what it states on my multipage B&W PG&E detail bill with all the analysis and details… Even though the period of service is shown as...

I’ve noticed that on days where it’s a bit rainy, or even if the road is just wet, if I supercharge sometimes I’ll get quite a bit of steam rising from under the car after it’s been charging for a bit. Is this normal? I doublechecked to make certain it was steam and not smoke (smell and the...

I have a Solar system consisting of panels, Powerwall+, and Gateway 2. I’m currently running the Tesla App with wireless connection to the Gateway and the M3P. I know the inverter with the powerwall+ has it’s own wireless connectivity that has to be set up within 15 minutes after powering up...

This EXACT same thing happened to me on my brand new battery install! Actually it happened DURING the first powerup test. Bottom right of the inverter there is a brass drain plug, a large allen. During provisioning there were 3 to 4 drips of blue fluid on top of the battery under the...

I would never do it this way! A roofing contractor will be inclined to give a reason why your roof is “bad” and you need a whole new roof, and Tesla were turn around and say, “See? it’s not our fault” I’m not saying anyone is “bad” here, but generally mixing one company trying to maximize...

Yup, and 70 years ago they used to encourage Tour de France riders to smoke cigarettes while riding, because it “opened up the lungs” History will always be filled with instances of outlandish ideas that went out of favor in the light of irrefutable evidence. EV adoption by the masses will...

Oh thank you for pointing that detail out! Yes, I read the pressure as 42 on all 4 wheels with my manual gauges in the garage in shade, and then roll at neighborhood speed for about a 1/4 mile or so until the sensors in the wheels update. at the speed and distance I've gone to compare against...

EPA Mileage is done using very non-realworld conditions. They also use the legal get out of jail free term of “Your mileage may vary” which is exactly akin to the blanket Catholic Absolvement, “I forgive you of all your sins” No one seems to realize that what Tesla says in their ads and...

I have 3 tire pressure gauges; A Snap-on/Blue-point, a Jaco, and a Motion-Pro. All three are considered excellent quality gauges ranging in accuracy from +\-.25% to +\-.5%. I fill my tires (Hankook Evo AS 18” 235/45s) to 42 PSI according to all three guages, which have always agreed with one...

Thank you! Now I know where to look in the future :)

I was looking over my Powerwall graphs tonight when I noticed my battery was at a fairly low state of charge; Much lower than it usually is at this same time in the evening… That’s when I noticed that the live graphic was showing my powerwall discharging to the grid at it’s max rate of 5.8kw...

My reply was actually kind of Tongue-in-cheek :) I think anywhere they can put Tesla SC are good, it’s just the last time I was scouting EA chargers one was in a completely dark parking lot, and the other was in a Walmart parking lot where I saw a HUGE lady pushing her cart by wearing bikini...

I don’t like a lot of the locations they typically plop down EA chargers. It’s like they either want you to get robbed, or they think you might enjoy watching some interesting examples of humanity… :(

Living in the San Francisco Eastbay, and about 20 minutes from the Fremont Tesla plant, Literally every other car here is a Tesla. I’ve been at large intersections several times where every single car waiting at the lights is a Tesla, or on the freeway in a line of like 8 Tesla’s front to back...

Another devious tactic that no one seems to know about is your water bill. Ever wonder why it’s measured in “acre-ft” (Which is a HUGE amount of water) So your water usage will say something like you used .07135 acre ft last month, which they then convert to gallons for clarity. Reason is...

This infuriates me as well! ☺️ With our bank amd other companies, we owe them some fee or payment and *zing* in literally 12 milliseconds its gone from your account when you hit “pay”, but make a deposit and “3-5 day hold until funds are available”, or if they’re paying a dividend or...

Just spoke with EBCE and got an answer to this myself :) Their reimbursement checks go out 60-90 days after true up, so July at the latest.

I'm enrolled with PG&E in the EastBay Community Energy (EBCE) CCA. My first PG&E true-up ever was at the beginning of April this year showing an NEM Credit of $-1,119 with a listed "cash out" value of $482 (as listed on my PG&E Blue bill) Can any other PG&E customers tell me when EBCE sends...

Edgewater, Colorado Tesla driver shoots another Tesla driver over Supercharging dispute… Well, if a Tesla owner will shoot another Tesla owner over a charging station dispute. Think what the future has in store when Non-Tesla vehicles start using the superchargers and possibly blocking...

I'm in Alameda County and they installed my powerwall inside the garage with the gateway and ESS outide next to my main panel (Subpanel inside the garage) There didn't seem to be any issue at all with having the powerwall inside the garage, and as far as distance from the main panel and the...

:( I have no idea why you wouldn’t at least be close to my numbers with your configuration… Are all your panels south facing? I know that many of my friends have panel arrays on differ sections of their roofs with only most of them south facing. I have vaulted ceilings which translate to a...

I could feel the stress in your typed words :( My wife and I are dead set on getting another EV and being a 100% EV family. We have a Tesla Model 3 Performance, and were considering getting a BMW iX, or a Lucid Aire, but every single Electrify America charging station I've ever been too have...

That's exactly what I needed to know and confirm. I had a feeling things were more than good, but just didn't want to get burned in another one of those "but" situations :) Thank you for your reply! I will wait for others too. I was definitely heavily conserving especially in the high...

I have the same system (Bryant) and can confirm it works great with our solar and single powerwall+ system. I'd never heard of Bryant before, but several people in the industry I spoke with before the install said they were good systems. As you stated, they are rebranded Carriers. Our...

I just received my first True-Up statement... I've read over Aesculus' excellent PGE True-Up bill explanation on this forum, and have gone over literally dozens of documents and articles detailing the explanations of how to read a true-up, but in every case, the articles and sample documents...

I am in California in the SF East Bay area. South facing 9.6Kw system 24 panels. It's probably moderately less sun in a year than in Las Vegas, and I got 18.02Mw production/year. So since you have 66% of the panels I do 12Mw a year is the direct translation, but since you get more sun over...

Unless the battery actually “conditions” normally during a supercharging session; Which I think it does when the battery is not at optimum temperature (i.e. the message you sometimes get where it says, “battery is warming for better charging” WHILE it’s actually plugged in and charging… In...

Personally, I LOVE that Elon walked away from this deal. I see enough fistfights and other bad behavior in airplane travel. Can you IMAGINE the potential violent chaos of arriving at a crowded supercharger only to have 3 stalls blocked by a Ford Lightning charging to 100% and parked sideways...

The ignorance can often be staggering :( When someone makes an uninformed EV comment to me and I think it couldn’t get worse, I make myself feel better recalling the time I was in Florence, Italy, in a jewellry shop and overheard another American tourist ask, “Can I get a cross necklace without...

Can someone explain exactly how Preconditioning works? Specifically, once you select a Supercharger in Nav and the battery begins heating; How is that heat generated? The entirety of the descriptions I’ve been able to find consist of this ambiguous, “They run the motors inefficiently” And I’m...

I purchased my Tesla Solar energy system last year, and since then have been shouting from the rooftop about how much I love the system and appreciate the energy independence, convenience, and energy security. There are now 4 houses in my court that have solar energy systems and three more who...

As is said in the title :) I have a white, Model 3 Performance. I saw a photo months ago of someone who blacked out with PPF, the white curved roof frame above the windows (I don't know what that part of the body is called :) ) Anyhow, I thought it looked fantastic and was wondering if anyone...

Sorry for the TL;DR Over the last few months, I've been curious about charging efficiency for my Model 3P and so I decided to do a small test: My wife has a very consistent driving schedule with it and so if you tracked from day to day and week to week, the charge level of the car (as well as...

I just got an email from EA. I opened it, excitedly hoping it was some declaration of how they intend to substantially improve the reliability of their existing network…. Nope, price increase announcement… 🙄

😬 Livestock Collision Ouch!

I don’t doubt that happens. I was mildly stunned when I found out it was deleted at some point before I got my M3P. My 2003 Infiniti had it stock, and that car was less than half the cost of a Tesla. *shrug* I suppose Tesla got to a point where they had to eliminate/charge for stuff to keep...

But Dog mode wouldn’t put the wipers in service position, or unfold the mirrors. Apparently those can freeze in place if those things aren’t done. I know much of a “Freeze mode” could be done manually (apart from the intermittent running of the defroster and rear window heat throughout the...

Even though I don’t live in an area where it would be needed, I was always curious why there wasn’t a “Freeze Protection” incorporated in the Tesla software. Something along the lines of you setting it for an outside temp reading 30, 20, 10 or below Fahrenheit and if the car senses that it will...

50k? Closer to 70k ☺️ Which makes it even more outlandish! 🙁

As the title says… They go on and on describing the nitty gritty of all the possible ways you can use and earn referral credits; how they expire, how to use them, what you can use them for… Basically everything except how damn many you get for referring people lol! Anyone know? Do you even...

Pretty much, yes. We were taking a trip down to LA and it was honestly just a chance to wow some friends with summon and autopark, and the lane keeping and changing on the freeway. To be honest though, after getting used to just the basic non FSD self driving (not even EAP) I think I’m...

Yes, that is what clued me in. I would have just completely not known about it otherwise... Maybe others were sending in suggestions, and they followed up on it because those people were in the same boat as me; When I first subscribed to FSD monthly, the Autopilot area said "Navigate on City...

Color me absolutely clueless! This is only the second time I have done the subscription to FSD. The first time I did it a month after getting the car and the option for Navigating on City Streets was greyed out and said "coming soon" and I had all the other "stuff" like summon, lane change...

That would be great!!! No, just a preview of the beta during a non beta subscribe 🙁
