Thanks @EVRider-FL . Unfortunately, because I was unable to shift into park, the option to Power Off under safety was greyed out. I was able to figure this out. The car did not auto shift to PARK with the parking brake engaged. However, when I deselected the parking brake and tried to exit the...

2015 MS 70D with 135k miles The car won't shift into park! I can select Reverse, Neutral or Drive normally. I can engage the parking brake. Even exiting the vehicle does not engage the parking brake. In fact, when I exit the vehicle with the car in a gear other than Park (Neutral with parking...

Another update. Over the past week this problem has not reoccurred. Every day since noting this problem I export no more than about 0.3 kWh to the grid. The days I've noted above remain anomalies with no validated explanation. I called HECO. The person on the phone claimed this was a problem...

Self powered. We are not enrolled in a time of use program. It is always better for us to store energy vice send to the grid. The credit value is much lower than the cost to use, at all times.

Thanks for the replies. Two points I left out. 1. I doubt it. If so, it's a mistake. We do not subscribe to TOU. Our rate plan pays 7c per kwh exported and charges about 40c per kWh imported. Never the less, I changed the sell prices in the app to $0. I also have "self-powered" selected and...

First image shows normal behavior, the PW is full and solar begins exporting to the grid. In this case, that happened around 11am. No issue here. Here you see a summary of what I saw Friday. The batteries were charging slowly, excess was going to the grid. Finally, here's the same day's PW...

Can anyone help me diagnose why I'm occasionally catching energy exported to the grid mid-day even when I have plenty of capacity on my 6 PWs? On Friday my system generated 69.6 kWh and expired 26 kWh. I estimate I lost over 20 kWh that should have gone to the batteries. Energy production was...

I accidentally bought a rear window regulator motor when I needed one for the front window. Anyone know if there's anything that can be swapped between the two so this new motor could be used in the front? I tried resetting the MCU by changing the wheel selection, that didn't appear to have any...

That is bizarre. I'm interested to hear what solves this for you. One idea would be to take the door panel loose for some troubleshooting. What happens to the handle if you disconnect the door panel electrical, i.e. the window switches? What about if you disconnect the electrical control panel...

I removed and tinkered with this regulator for a while. The ferrule was definitely broken. I'm pretty sure the motor is burnt out also. With just the motor connected to the car, the motor and drive spindle spin freely both up and down. When I put the motor on the wire frame regulator and try to...

Did any of you have to replace the window lift motor itself? I put in a new regulator with the old lift motor and I'm still having the same problem.

Has anyone had to replace their window lift motor in their Model S? I bought a window regulator from Napa for around $100. I assumed it came with the motor but I was wrong. I installed the new regulator using the old motor. My window still only raises about an inch and then just stops. It...

I'm told the PW have to be 3ft apart now. If so, I don't think I have enough space to spread them out. My question was really just: can I add additional PW to create a stack myself? Also, curious about the suggestion to mount as high as possible when close to the beach. Is that for flooding?

I have a second Tesla solar install scheduled next week. I recently became dissatisfied with the proposed PW layout. I'm trying to better understand my options to relocated / consolidate equipment or scale back the project. Here are some questions I have right now... Background - Located in...

Hawaii / HECO: Maybe don't rush it... "I've heard someone" get net metering prior to PTO. Was saving tons of cash until they finally approved the system. Our data point: Took us 6-9 months back in 2021. We're upgrading again this summer so I'll update when we receive our next approval. I'm...

I was looking for this answer also and found the info I needed here, footprint of stacked Powerwalls. https://www.memodo-shop.com/tesla-powerwall-stack-kit

@kulea can you confirm that you’ve been able to discharge for 2 hours by just consuming the energy in your home? This is the critical question for me to make this worth my while on CGS. I have plenty of electrical demand I could use for that time, 10kW would be easy.

Can anyone confirm that Battery bonus allows us to discharge our energy by using it to charge an EV and this will qualify? Also, not sure I still understand how HECO is measuring that we're meeting that discharge capacity daily.

Second data point that Tesla as a contractor is trying to avoid participation in BB here in Oahu. Maybe we spoke to the same employee. Definitely frustrating. Some HECO employees suggested these programs are counter to Tesla's bigger plan of networking solar energy as a utility. I also learned...

This is interesting. This program reimburses based on "committed capacity" which is how much energy I agree to discharge (thus configure to discharge) during the 2 hour period. I was assumed if I had 6 PW I have a range of capacity I can elect to enroll in the program. The maximum I could...

Oh boy. This is not my intent. I am frustrated by HECO's rising prices but I'm not going to waste my money away to spite them. I realize electricity pricing is largely market fundamentals way out of my control. Frankly, a lot of the Florida and California numbers presented here have made me feel...

As for the number of PW I could benefit from, here's a few thoughts I've had after reading some responses: 1. I charge almost exclusively at home. I was considering increasing PW storage to help recharge from the mileage we're driving during the day. 2. Other than the EV, our energy...

Thanks for everyone's contributions. I think 6 PW is overkill. Does anyone know if there are technical limitations to upgrading from 2 to 6? I had one Tesla designer tell me they would probably need to do an extra inspection and consider extra equipment. Also, it seems they are planning on...

I have an order in to add 12 solar panels and 4 PW to my existing 44 panels and 2 PW. That is about 4.4 KW added to a ~17 KW spec'd 18 month old install. My goal is to increase energy storage capacity to help with retail arbitrage / cost-savings over a 10 year horizon. Off-grid resiliency for...

Thanks. I'll consider getting one on order...

Bump. I haven't yet figured this out.

Has anyone had luck solving this problem beyond a recalibration or regulator replacement? I'm hoping the window is just out of adjustment...

Awesome. Thank you. Was that interior accent light an option? Does anyone add this back aftermarket?

I was able to get the gateway to reset by changing the wheel configuration in the service menu, then changing it back. That got the window working again. Thank you! I repeated the de-calibration and calibration procedure exactly as in your description. While it appears to have worked, there is...

Thanks for this. I swear the de-calibration procedure I saw did not have steps 1-3 or even the next steps 1-2. Maybe I misremembered the procedure, admittedly I wasn't looking at the procedure when I did it. I also do not know what to do before disconnecting the 12V...? I'm going to have to...

Ugh, sorry for the rookie request here. Can someone tell me where this white electrical connector plugs in? This is the side door after the door panel was removed. I was serving the window regulator on my 2015 Model S 70D. As I was trying to figure out why the window electrical was giving me...

BL - My front driver side window will no longer roll up. It rolls down ONLY when you open the door, going down about 1 inch each time. It does NOT go back up when I close the door... The window is about halfway open now and going lower each time I open that door. Again, the switch for that...

I'm looking for suggestions on how to get my 2015 Tesla Model S door latch to release and allow the door to open. Neither the interior or exterior door handle are working. Background: Front passenger door handle was not presenting. It's motor was running continuously anytime the car had power...

Thank you for all the insight. I will continue to pursue my application to the program to see what more I learn and see if I am eligible. I'm trying to apply on my own since I have Tesla solar and PWs already installed. Of note, (covered earlier) I'm adding additional solar to get more PWs from...

Just to clarify, that looks to be a big coincidence. Not a scam, I have no affiliation with that listing. The car is in Kansas City. I suspect that seller may have had a similar situation that I had. I expected the 7 seater wouldn't deliver until sometime next year. While they are still rare, I...

A couple clarifications. I'm going to try to do this myself, enrolling my 2 existing PW. Simultaneously, I'm going to upgrade my solar through Tesla to expand my on site storage. Because the program is closed to new applications right now, I likey won't explore this with Tesla any further unless...

Great info guys. Also good to know they could migrate and combine the info. Interesting they told you you couldn't see the stand alone production of your 3rd system when Tesla installed it. That's basically the opposite of what this SA told me. Haha.

I actually have a friend that works at HECO and I believe he either worked closely in developing this program, or works in the same office as the guys who did. It was a pretty grassroots effort to design something that worked for everyone. I am going to try to reach out to him asap to get more...

I am considering Tesla Solar App alternatives. I'm doing a second Tesla solar install and my SA is telling me they will likely need to be managed under two different email addresses (because that's how they're setup currently). My only option to prevent this would be to cancel the order, forfeit...

Great info. Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with VPP but this explanation makes sense to me. To be fair, the Tesla SA told me that as solar installers they were not *participating* in the program. Meaning they would not agree to cooperate with HECO to help a new customer purchase equipment from Tesla and enroll it in...

Well I am in currently working with HECO to commit up to 10 kw to this program. In doing so, I should receive an $8500 one time refund, $50/month credit, and NEM rate for any energy provided to the grid during this 2 hour window. The program is effectively a 3 year trial period, with some of the...

Today, I was told by my Tesla SA they might void my warranty if I pursue Hawaii's newest PV battery storage program. Is anyone participating in this program (see below)? Is anyone familiar with the PW 10 year warranty TOS? Hawaiian Electric Company's (HECO) "Battery Bonus" program was...

That link isn't working. Got an updated recommendation?

Outstanding info all around. I have 200 amp service at the home. The sales rep I spoke to was very knowledgeable yesterday. He pointed out that if I go too big (ala 6 PW's) I might trigger an "impedance" test whereby the installer (or electric co?) tests the homes capacity for energy storage. If...

I'm located in Hawaii and do not have NEM. I receive a small credit for energy added to the grid that is about 25% of those cost to pull from the grid. I'm primarily focused on retail arbitrage to save money on fuel (home and cars). I currently charge and discharge my batteries 3-7 times a week...

Does anyone have experience with increasing their Tesla PV system? Tesla is telling me I may have to use two different Tesla logins to monitor the 1st and 2nd system. They're not even promising the two systems will work together, unclear if the old solar will be connected to the new PW. Are...

Yes it's available.
