    New System - App blank on The (green) Powerwall Screen

    Thanks for the reply. Interestingly enough after 1 week of data the “Time Based”, “Storm Watch” and “Vehicle Charging When Off Grid” options all appeared. I do not have a formal PTO yet. It is possible that my system is a little unique in that I had all the solar panels already installed (long...

    Missing App Customize options for new Powerwall 2 install, no PV [options appeared after a few days]

    This thread was helpful - I have a new install (3 days old with solar) and the app isn’t showing any customization of control mode settings at all. Just “self-powered” (and of course the percent rocker). I presume from reading this thread I just need to sit tight and wait a few more days (7...

    New System - App blank on The (green) Powerwall Screen

    Thanks for the replies. Maybe I should start a second thread (?) - but just because this thread should probably be labeled “newbie questions on new app” - > I have another question. What should I set the backup reserve to at the beginning (before the batteries have ever been charged)? Right now...

    New System - App blank on The (green) Powerwall Screen

    Update: Apparently the app is just bugged when there isn‘t enough data from the Powerwalls. After getting some charge today it does seem to be functioning closer to normal. I can now click on the green “Powerwall Icon” and get data. What I still can’t do is change the Control Mode in settings...

    New System - App blank on The (green) Powerwall Screen

    Hello - I am a brand new (today) owner of a Powerwall system. It all seems to be working, except: When I click on the green Powerwall icon it takes me to a blank screen (with no apparent way to exit the screen other than force closing the app). All the other features work but this. Any ideas on...

    Home Charger Tesla or Other?

    I could be wrong about this but I was under the impression that all recent Teslas (including Plaid of course) cap out at 48A charge on home chargers. Effectively you need a charger that can hit that and a circuit (125% of max amp charge - so >70A for a 50A charger). But regardless of what type...

    An honest review of the yoke

    I gotta say: I really want to buy this car. I’ve waited and waited for this refresh for years. And…this post is exactly what concerns me. I am now going to wait longer to see if they switch it out. I wonder if they will. Regardless I can’t see how this helps sell more Model S’s. (My hope would...

    Firmware 8.0

    Fwiw I am definitely waiting for both AP hardware 2.0 and the 100D are available to buy. If I am, I expect many others are too. My guess is by March. My hope is by November.

    Any idea when 100D (not P100D) might make debut?

    Interesting side note is how Tesla is discounting the P90D right now - Tesla is reportedly heavily discounting inventory Model S P90D’s now that P100D is out

    Any idea when 100D (not P100D) might make debut?

    Wonder if there is a pattern to how Tesla has done the releases in the past that might be applicable here? For example, did they release the P90D first, and then release the 90D after? Or similar with 70 or 85?

    I'm happy about the 100kWh battery but super bummed that it isn't being offered in the standard 100D version. I am looking for more range than the 90D and have been holding off on buying waiting for the 100D. Anyone hear anything or have any educated guesses when the 100D might make its debut...

    P100D for Sale Now

    Has there been any indication as to when a 100D might be available (as opposed to the P100D)? I'm sort of bummed as I've been waiting for the 100D battery to become available, but definitely do not want (and can't really afford) the P-premium.

    Advice on going from LA to SF and back

    100 Battery announced soon?

    Is it just me or did they change the text lead in to the picture on FB? It (now) says: "100% electric". I'd think they changed it to clarify. Not a sneaky 100kwh battery announcement. (By the way the forum won't allow me to use an emoji but the 100 is the emoji.)

    Love the discussion here. One misperception I keep reading here: This isn't quite right. With the sort-of-exception of Apple (more on that in a sec), computer road maps have been pre-released years in advance. (Try googling "Intel product roadmap.") Even Apple has a pretty regular product...

    What range will 90D battery really have? how much more than 85D does $3k get you?

    Interesting. Thanks. Odd that they didn't wait for a 100D to increase the size more materially. Such a small mileage difference. 15 miles? Wonder if it just means they'll phase out the 85D to move to 90D for the 85D price very soon and call it a price decrease as soon as the 85D batteries run out?

    In the blog post here: Three Dog Day | Tesla Motors It says: "New buyers now have the option of upgrading the pack energy from 85 to 90 kWh for $3k, which provides about 6% increased range. For example, this takes our current longest range model, the 85D, to almost 300 miles of highway range...

    It looks like I have LTE enabled

    High upstream and lower downstream speeds are often a result of a speed cap (or "throttling") of the downstream speed. It wouldn't shock me if they were intentionally capping the downstream speed. ISPs do do this frequently. There's less need to cap upstream as it is less used (and not capping...
