    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    My major problem is the loss of single tap and a move to two clicks to reach the same functionality. That is simply put "BAD U/X." There is plenty of empty spots both in the bottom and top bars. Also the smaller font is another blunder. Tesla needs to hire a U/X expert and not leave the user...

    Would you put a front license plate on your 2020 Roadster even if required by law?

    It is fairly easy to get on the CA DMV pilot program (License Plate Wrap) where the wrap is completely legal. You can get your LPW here: Tested by the California Highway Patrol of Sacramento I got mine for a Model 3.

    Sound won't work

    @NuG, this is now April 2019, and I am on 2018.50.6 and all of a sudden the audio is on for 9 seconds, then off for 3 seconds, and that repeats FOREVER for radio, streaming, the blinkers, and traffic directions. So I tried your trick once, no go. Twice, no go. Three times, no go. By then I had...

    Powerwall install delayed from April to June :(

    Just checked the Tesla website, and I got this: "Given higher than expected Powerwall demand, the earliest we are scheduling installs is for the end of the year. We will contact you in the coming months to secure your install date."

    Powerwall install delayed from April to June :(

    Reserved in January 2018. Received the "design" in June. Was told installation would be "end of summer". Just delayed with no ETA: "Due to the overwhelming global demand of the Powerwall, it has caused a shortage of supply. We have obtained the necessary approvals in order to move your project...

    Firmware 2018.12 on new MCU?

    According to Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker you will need 2018.14 to get the "MCU1-New Browser". Interesting today I just downloaded 2018.12, which does not include the new browser but does include support for the App update that allows control of trunk and frunk open / close, like available on...

    SGIP rebate for Powerwall 2 install in SCE territory?

    Was just told that Tesla is pretty much allocated all the way to Step 5, so there is no point in even applying for SGIP. Full ITS at 30% is still available, of course.

    Powerwall 2: SGIP/Incentives

    I was told the same. Tesla is effectively completely allocated all the way to step 5.

    Front License Plate Bracket For Tesla Model 3

    At the LA Centinela delivery no cars had the plate bracket installed. They just leave it in the frunk.

    Front License Plate Bracket For Tesla Model 3

    I've lived in the LA area for 37 years and I never had to put the front license plate on, and never got ticketed, UNTIL I left the car in a Park&Ride for the day. Apparently the various local cities, Hawthorne in my case, do the Park&Ride rounds every day.

    Yea, TANFL. All the Competitor products are twice Tony's price. You guys crack me up.

    Front License Plate Bracket For Tesla Model 3

    If you leave your car in a Park&Ride in LA, they will ticket you the same day. Since I do leave my Model S at the Marine station 3 days a week, I had no choice but get The Law for my Model S. Fortunately it is "fixable" ticket.

    SGIP rebate for Powerwall 2 install in SCE territory?

    That makes sense. Solar / no energy have been around for over a decade. And there are a large number of installers. I would not be expecting anything longer than a few weeks.

    SGIP rebate for Powerwall 2 install in SCE territory?

    Wow, six months for Az_Rael and 6 weeks for you. That's a pretty big difference. Was yours just Powerwall and no solar?

    PowerWall with Enphase microinverters

    Nice. I have a system about 1/2 if your size, 17 panels of Canadian Solar CS6P 240P Watt PV Modules, with 17 Enphase M215 microinverters, a 4,080 Watt system, where I can probably manage with just 1 Powerwall 2. I have gas (heating, dryer, 2 BBQ) and no A/C being in the South Bay, so I do not...

    PowerWall with Enphase microinverters

    Absolutely. Tesla is pretty specific in the fact that they are doing this because it is required to get the ITC credit. I have another thread where a recent Letter from the IRS makes it pretty clear that it is a requirement for the ITC credit. On the other hand, at night when solar panels are...

    PowerWall with Enphase microinverters

    $2,400 was my average yearly bill from SCE prior to me making the changes of moving to 100% LEDs lights and replacing the listed appliances. The biggest changes came from replacing over 200 lights (mostly flood), the 2 Plasma displays and the 2007 Mac Pro. The $38 / year for the plasma is...

    IRS Issues Ruling Approving Energy Storage Retrofit for Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

    It is interesting to note that the largest Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer, Swell, in their quote will list the SGIP and the ITC, with the latter calculated on the total amount, not the SGIP-discounted amount. Now, I believe Swell is incorrect. Quoting from Title 26 - § 136, Energy...

    IRS Issues Ruling Approving Energy Storage Retrofit for Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

    And you can also write the IRS for a PLR and get your own ruling. And like you say, the IRS is not going to litigate such small amounts anyway. I think that it is interesting to note the additional statement from Tesla: "When Powerwall is installed with solar, it is not currently able to...

    PowerWall with Enphase microinverters

    Plasma HDTVs were all 6 years old, same for dishwasher, refrigerator and washer. Dishwasher and refrigerators were practically dead. The Plasma TVs were still fully functional, but the replacement price with Samsung 4K LEDs was ridiculous, plus I was able to sell the old HDTVs locally...

    PowerWall with Enphase microinverters

    Last I spoke with the Tesla Energy Advisor, the software for time-based control (balance or cost savings) is being rolled out as we speak. So it will definitely be there by 2019.

    PowerWall with Enphase microinverters

    If one gets the SGIP rebate, the restriction is to drain it off about 52 times / year. If you claim the ITC 30% federal credit, the only restriction is to power the PowerWall only from solar panels (which is enforced by the PowerWall software).
