    Time from install to PTO (PG&E)

    About 5 -6 weeks for me. My system was left on after the first inspection

    Time required until PTO? (I'm at 58 days since final inspection. 104 days since install completion)

    I appreciate the skepticism, but there’s just as much uniqueness in the immigration process and trackitt has proved to be an amazing resource because it normalizes all the variability when you see self-reported data tabulated. It immediately becomes apparent where things take long and where they...

    Time required until PTO? (I'm at 58 days since final inspection. 104 days since install completion)

    It would be nice if we set up a crowd tracking system that had a bunch of key dates for milestones. There’s one for immigration system applications called trackitt but it would basically work like this: When someone does Tesla solar or solar + battery, they would submit some basic stats to a...

    PTO Question

    I had a 12.2kW system installed with 3 Powerwalls and I think my system was left working after the city inspection. I just received my final invoice and will be paying it today. The thing is, even though the app says 3x batteries (with only 1 serial number listed), and my overnight power draw...

    Protector “bumper” for powerwalls

    I think I’m going to get something like this as long as it comes off clean too. Thanks!

    Protector “bumper” for powerwalls

    I have 3 powerwalls in my garage and I’m looking for a solution that protects them when I open my car door. The garage isn’t super wide. Any suggestions?

    First day of my 12.24 kW install!

    My 12.24 system also went online today, I asked and someone from Tesla did come out to survey before the install. I asked for it. I am really happy with how everything turned out. Our panels are invisible from the street in almost every angle, unless you’re really far from the house.

    Realistic expectations

    Wait, how do people actually see that X of Y panels are producing energy? Is that in a different app from the Tesla app?

    Aftermarket Blindspot Warning on Mirror

    Folks, Can you recommend any aftermarket blindspot warning system I can install on my S90D with AP1 that can work like what we find in Audi and Camry? Solid light on when someone is in your blind spot? It's not intuitive to look in your dash for blindspot warnings when changing lanes. This is...

    Why can't Tesla make a decent media player?

    This! I can reproduce this issue reliably with my iPhone 7+ and it's frustrating. Sometimes my audio will play but scratchy and at double speed before I make a phone call, then when I do it's all cleared up.

    Key fob with profile settings?

    There's cryptographic process involved in unlocking your car and key fobs are indeed uniquely recognizable and reprogrammable. Turning this kind of profile recognition/separation into convenience features shouldn't stop here. If I have a Spotify Premium account and my wife has her own Spotify...

    Would you buy a long wheelbase Model X?

    Inspired by a tweet about this. Same width but 1 ft longer - 208 inches. With most of the extra space expanding third row into practical daily space + super big rear trunk space (big enough for 3-4 strollers, sports gear and way more stuff) Can one of the photoshop rendering wizards pull...

    Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Install

    Thanks, I'll check with the Tesla showroom in Santana Row if there's something closer, if not, I'll schedule an appointment and do the drive to WC.

    Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Install

    I'm interested in buying and installing a Blackvue DR650S-2CH. I know myself and I doubt I have the patience to go through the steps described here. Is there any installation service in the SF Bay Area that forum members would recommend? 2015 Model S90D with AP.

    Autopilot: Crashed at 40mph

    I had a collision in a Tesla Model S in the last few weeks with the exact circumstances described by the driver in this incident. I thought I was paying attention, but perhaps didn't realize that I had somehow disabled TACC. I'm not sure how I did it, but I heard a collision warning and BAM! I...

    New Buyers Beware / Negative repair process

    Consumer Reports just came out with their new data and while Tesla is still up there, it's not in the top 3 in its category any more. That's not to say we made a mistake in buying the car, it's just a reflection of the work they have to do to get back on top.

    New Buyers Beware / Negative repair process

    I don't know Jeff, and I didn't call him unreasonable. I called his response to my honest advice to a close friend about a decision making factor that was important to him unreasonable. You should check what ad hominem means, and then read the things he said about my worthiness as a Tesla owner...

    New Buyers Beware / Negative repair process

    Thanks folks. I think Jeff's responses are unreasonable. Tesla is not a religious cult and it's not for everyone. Being honest with your friend about its real shortcomings is just that, being honest. He's not getting married to his Mercedes, he can sell it any time and buy a Tesla when they're...

    New Buyers Beware / Negative repair process

    Passion is not a strategy. I respect your passion and your loyalty, but you don't know me or my friends and why we choose to spend our money the way we do. Tesla needs honest, critical feedback from the people who are paying to fund the dream. There's absolutely no point in funding the dream of...

    New Buyers Beware / Negative repair process

    I bought a Model S in December and I am very happy with it (with the exception of navigation). However, because of this post and the situation surrounding it, I couldn't in good conscience recommend a Model S to a friend in Colorado who was ready to buy today. I told him not to do it and he's...

    -25 celcius has eaten 66% of my range

    Thanks dgpcolorado, Definitely the right thing to do. I wonder if there are any members of the Musk clan who live in the area . I also wonder if Elon himself spends some of his holidays in the area too...

    -25 celcius has eaten 66% of my range

    Regardless of the debated range, I think one core point is that Tesla should build more dense supercharger concentrations in places that get very cold, for safety reasons.

    What's your 90%?

    251-255 miles at 90% with S 90D. It varies. I have never range charged or run the battery below 70 miles.

    Tesla's Software To-Do List

    The Model S comes with 2 navigation systems, one is the Google Maps Nav on the 17 inch display, which relies on cellphone signal to work, and the second is an independent built-in SatNav that displays on the dashboard display itself behind the left hand side of the steering wheel. Unfortunately...

    "Charger Locations" iPhone and Apple Watch app

    Same issue for me. Also, the app crashes upon opening if I allow it access to my location.

    Is there an app that tells you if supercharger stalls are full?

    Tesla has realtime supercharger telemetry and vehicle telemetry data. Making use of this information to tell a driver there are 5 full stalls and 3 cars waiting, and calculating earliest charging start time assuming the drivers in the stalls fill up is a summer intern project, but the necessary...

    2000 mile road trip-What I learned

    Larry, Thanks for sharing, we're contemplating a long California drive along the coast then to the Yosemite area. ive been a model s owner for a little more than 2 months now, and I love the car, but I do have some feedback that is negative -I agree with you the Nav is outdated and sucks and...
