    Brand new system and baffled with energy usage

    I am in a very similar situation. I also live in Texas (Houston area) and had our panels installed last week (12.24kW system / 3 PWs). Our house as 2 AC units, a pool pump, 3 full-sized refrigerators (plus 2 mini-fridges in the outdoor living), and a Model X. Our daily power usage ranges...

    Is Net Metering a Must in Texas?

    Thanks for reminding me to look at the delivery charges. Pulse Power does still charge the delivery fee during their "Free Nights". It looks like Direct Energy has the best deal right now. The daytime rates are about the same as Green Mountain with 2 more hours of free nights. I can also...

    Is Net Metering a Must in Texas?

    I am curious to see how much of my energy I will end up offsetting. Based on my estimates using PVWatts, I should produce about 50kWh/day in September while my average usage for last September was 100kWh/day. The good news is that I used about 70kWh/day between the hours of 6am and 8pm last...

    Is Net Metering a Must in Texas?

    Thank you! Great to know that there is an option in the app now. I just spoke to the electrician who is installing our Powerwalls. He said he will walk me through the process, also. Unfortunately, I am not going to produce enough electricity to make it through an entire day with our hot...

    Is Net Metering a Must in Texas?

    I am also in Houston with Tesla installing our 12.24kW / 3 PW system today and tomorrow. Which company did you end up going with? Pulse Power has a 36 month 8pm to 6am free nights plan at $.0123/kWh + delivery charge. I agree that I don't see these TOU plans staying around much longer for...

    New 5 Year / 0.99% Solar Panel Financing Option

    The last email I got from my Tesla rep was "I’m sorry but we are not able to switch financing at this time.". Did you originally finance with your Tesla order? How long ago was that? My "Solar Loan Agreement" was signed on May 9th, but I still don't have my install scheduled.

    New 5 Year / 0.99% Solar Panel Financing Option

    Thanks...I though that I could just cancel and restart and eat the $100 deposit but not sure that would be worth the effort. :)

    New 5 Year / 0.99% Solar Panel Financing Option

    I finally heard back from my project advisor. I was also told that I would not be able to change financing because "the lender is not the same". Any thoughts how to get around this? I have not looked at my Sunlight Financial contract, but is there no early termination clause with them...

    New 5 Year / 0.99% Solar Panel Financing Option

    Nice catch on the new 10 year / 0.99% option. I see they are requiring 10% down with this option. It also looks like they are requiring you to pay for the full amount versus the amount after federal tax incentives. With that said, the cost of the loan for a 12.24kW system and 3 PWs works out to...

    New 5 Year / 0.99% Solar Panel Financing Option

    Wow! I had not seen this Mosaic option. I will reach out!

    New 5 Year / 0.99% Solar Panel Financing Option

    I went ahead and clicked "Accept and Credit Check" to see if I was giving this new financing option but was not, so I called Tesla. They said that it only shows up on the account for brand new orders, but they are able to add it to my account on the backend. They told me they will inform...

    Considering Tesla Solar w/ Powerwalls in North Texas

    Gexa also has free nights from 8p-8a, but their daytime rates are a bit higher than Direct Energy.

    New 5 Year / 0.99% Solar Panel Financing Option

    I noticed that Tesla now has a 5 year / 0.99% financing option when I log in like a new user and configure a solar / Powerwall system. However, when I go to my "Your System Layout" page on my Tesla account, my only financing options are the 20 year/4.99% and 10 year/3.99% options. Will I be...

    Considering Tesla Solar w/ Powerwalls in North Texas

    I am happy to hear how well the Direct Energy Free Nights plan is working for you. We are finalizing our Tesla solar order right now with a similar set-up having a Model X and a pool. I will most likely be switching to Direct Energy once we make the switch. My current electricity plan is not...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    That's my guess, too. There are a lot of roof jacks on that long strip. There are not any on that small triangle where Freedom placed 3. I would think they would be able to get 3 or 4 over there especially since it is so close to the 8 they have in the front. At this point, I may just have...

    Post Your Tesla Solar Layout

    I am on my 3rd iteration with Tesla with my 12.24 kW system design. Iteration 1: Majority of the panels were placed on the front of the house which is south facing. I asked if they could remove the panels from the front left of our house because they would be way to visible there, but they...

    How did I Get Scratches in Paint

    I have the obsidian black Model X. I took it to get a front-end XPEL wrap plus Opticoat last week and the detailer was shocked about the amount of swirls all over my car. I thought I was being extra careful washing my car via the 2-bucket method and a whole bunch of micro-fiber towels for...

    Software Update for AP2.0

    I just got the software notice on my AP2 car and started the install! Hoping it goes well so I can give my kids the show on Christmas morning!

    Model X December Deliveries

    I also picked mine up today! It was lots of fun to drive. I had several friends and neighbors tell me it felt like they were sitting in a space ship! It is amazing how many people in Texas still have never even heard of a Tesla Model X. I had the same issue as @deque with moisture in my...

    @bushburner How do those white seats feel? That is what I have coming but have yet to actually touch one.

    Model X December Deliveries

    Yes, Dayan has been great. He always answers the phone and responds to emails in minutes. There are 2 service centers in Houston. Both are about 25-30 miles from my house.

    Model X December Deliveries

    Yes, my DS is Dayan. That is great that your car was shipped so quickly! Hopefully, it does not wait around in Houston too long for you.

    Model X December Deliveries

    Great news! Mine went into production on 11/30. Hopefully it will complete production in the next day or so and join yours on a truck down to Texas. (I am in Houston.)

    Model X November Deliveries

    I originally posted on Page 1 of this thread, but my x60d finally went into production today! 09/30: Ordered MX60D, 6-seat 10/07: Order confirmed 10/08: Assigned VIN 24XXX 10/27: Upgraded to EAP 11/30: In Production

    Model X November Deliveries

    My 60d VIN 24xxx is still in the production queue. I got this email from my DS yesterday: "We are still on track for the arrival of your Model X by mid-December and the current estimate for delivery is reflecting the 19th/20th. I will keep you posted on any changes because recently the...

    Model X November Deliveries

    Nice! Congratulations! There does not seem to be much rhyme or reason for the order of vehicles entering production. My MX 60d VIN 24xxx is still in the "factory production queue".

    Model X November Deliveries

    @knightrider I'm in a similar boat. 09/30: Ordered MX60D, 6-seat 10/07: Order confirmed 10/08: Assigned VIN 24XXX 10/27: Upgraded to EAP I got an email today from my DS that my car should go into production by the end of November.

    Model X purchased before the announcement

    Thanks guys. I somehow missed their new Autopilot page outlining all of the upgrades. Very cool stuff.

    Model X purchased before the announcement

    I got a response from my DS highlighting the differences between my original $3k AP 1.0 and the $5k Enhanced AP. Still seems odd that they will support AP 1.0 functionality on the new hardware for us few who ordered between mid-Sept and mid-Oct if we elect not pay the $2k upgrade fee. Do you...

    Model X purchased before the announcement

    Will MX fit in my garage?

    Ok. I am having the electrician install our outlet on the front part of the right wall in our garage because that is where our panel is which also happens to be perfect positioning for the charge port if I back in. Hopefully, this will help with the FWD issues, too. Thanks for the quick reply!

    Will MX fit in my garage?

    I have a similar garage configuration with the low black hook attached to the opener. Have you tried backing your car into the garage? I was hoping my FWD would be in front of the hook if I backed in. (I just ordered my Model X last week, so I still have a while before I could test this theory.)
