I read somewhere that `energy_sites` is the newer replacement for the `powerwalls` endpoint. But I can’t find confirmation of that.

My Solar roof (installed last January) uses 2 Solivia 5.2 TL inverters and 1 M4-TL-US inverter.

I guess I am not surprised there are a lot of negative reviews. I would only recommend this solution if (a) you _really_ want CarPlay in your Tesla, and (b) you are “tech-forward” and not afraid of a few rough edges. In fact, I’d actually recommend staying away from the WiFi-based CarPlay dongle...

Have you taken a look at the Energy Site APIs? State And Settings I vaguely remember reading somewhere that these are the newer, “replacement” APIs for getting Powerwall info.

Yes, your solar roof should appear in the Tesla APIs. Mine does. And I think _all_ of the Tesla APIs are “work in progress.” Or, more accurately, they are not officially supported by Tesla for anything other than their apps. Any 3rd party use of them would be “at your own risk.” But I have found...

My order (finally) arrived today. I guess I am glad that the (ground!) shipping came faster than estimated. I haven’t used the mattress yet, so I can’t provide any comment other than it appears to be of good quality. However, given the frustration in ordering, communication, and delays, I would...

I got my tracking number today. Can’t say I am impressed. My order won’t even be put in the mail until next Wednesday (10/14) and it is expected to be delivered a week later (on 10/21). I guess I should be glad I am even getting my order, but really? It is weeks late even being fulfilled, and...

I hear you. I think Tesmat’s “customer service” is really poor and George’s past statements have bordered on untruthful. I received an email on 9/23 that included this claim: Your order in particular is scheduled to ship in the first week of October. We plan to have shipped out all backordered...

This isn’t a solution for everyone, but if you really want CarPlay (like I do), you can use this, along with a cheap Android tablet and a car mount to get CarPlay. I’ll try to remember a take a pic of my setup later today if anyone is interested.

I’m unsure if this is new or not, but I wonder if this news will impact the development of new superchargers in the south bay. Steep discounts to install charging stations coming soon to San Jose - San José Spotlight

I suspect everyone will have their own strategy and use-cases. For me, under “normal” conditions, my system is sized large enough that I usually run in self-powered mode with a very low (15%) reserve. (13.5 kW solarroof + 3 PW) However, the extreme heat, followed by the extremely low solar...

The “nuclear apocalypse” weather is really quite something. This is my generation graph from about 30min ago.

Sure, but pretending that previous statements/commitments were not made borders on being untrustworthy and only complicates the already frustrating lack of communication and transparancy. However, since my last post I have finally received an email from George @ Tesmat, so at least some...

Thanks for the update. That’s disappointing, since I definitely recall the website saying that orders would be shipped by early September when I placed my order. But, I didn’t save a screenshot, either.

I placed an order on 8/2 and tried emailing this week with no response. I, too, can understand there might be legitimate reasons for a delay, but silence is worse than being upfront with customers who have already paid.

I found this blog post to be a pretty good summary of where retail NEM came from and where it appears to be going (a la NEM 3.0): https://sustainableenergygroup.com/solar/the-future-of-solar-is-at-risk-california-nem-3/

Weird. I don’t know why you can’t message me. I just tried messaging you.

Hi Sri, I live in San Jose and had a Solar Glass roof and Powerwalls installed earlier this year. If you want to see a couple of houses in person with Solar Glass there are a few in my neighborhood; DM me for my address. I can’t answer most of your questions, but I would definitely recommend...

Yeah, that’s why I called Tesla; I figured there was some sort of association they needed to make. It wasn’t clear from the conversation with the tech support guy, but I think that’s what he did. Thanks for the tip about the antennas. All three of my inverters have the stubby antenna coming out...

Oh! This is a ZigBee gateway for the inverters? That’s already more information than the Tesla tech support guy could tell me. I have 2 Solivias and 1 M4. The 2 Solivias indicate they are connected via ZigBee without my gateway even being powered up, so something else must be nearby, although I...

Anybody know what the deal is with the little black box that (I think) is referred to as the “SolarCity Gateway”? I have a new SolarRoof/PW install, and was never given one by any of the installers. But my Tesla app has been reporting data since the date the PWs were installed (back in Jan/Feb)...

I’m in PG&E territory and I had 3 PWs installed earlier this year. There were other snafus that made getting my PTO take a few months. I was unaware that there was any difference between 2 and 3 PWs, so I didn’t question it at the time, but one of the PW installers said that PG&E requires a...

It is reported by the live_status API. There’s more info on how to use this API from the command line in this thread.

My PWs just updated to 1.46.0 and what’s interesting is that prior to this update, my 3 PWs reported a total pack energy of 40.5 kWh, but now (after the update) they are reporting a total pack energy of 42.4 kWh. I wonder why the change in reported energy.

Thank you!! I completely overlooked that panel originally.

This seems like a really stupid question, but I haven't been able to puzzle it out on my own. I *thought* I knew how to disconnect my house from the grid, but apparently I don't. I recently received PTO for my 3 PW + Solar Roof installation. I have my whole house backed up (no loads were...

I’ve been playing with these APIs quite a bit, since I am working on an iOS dashboard that shows all the data on one screen. I just received PTO on my PW+Solar Roof system a few weeks ago, so I don’t have a lot of history to refer to, but my 3 PW system reports a total energy of 40.5 kWh. These...

This is from the cloud API -> State And Settings The information is incomplete on this site, but if you try calling this API with something like Postman you can see the full list of data available.

Actually, the live status API does return the total pack energy and total energy left in Wh, so while you can't (as far as I know) monitor the charge level of an individual power wall (assuming you have more than one), you can monitor the total power level if you query this API over time.

yes, they do

I am in the middle (or near the end?) of having solarglass and powerwalls installed. They installed 2 Delta Solivia 5.2 inverters and 1 Delta M4-TL-US inverter. My system is not yet operational, so I have not had a chance to perform a full PW off-grid test yet.

Here’s my roof (as seen by Google’s Project Sunroof). I am having my solar glass roof and powerwalls installed this week. This is in San Jose, CA.

I have it set up to archive to a Samba share and do not have it configured with my Tesla creds. So far I have not had any problems with my car going to sleep while archiving the data, but that may be because I also have Sentry mode enabled, even when I am at home.

I don’t know, since I didn’t ask. (I want both the roof and the powerwalls.) However, I think they will, since the guy who came out to do my home assessment had to double check his work order to see if I was getting any powerwalls.

For an 8kw system with 2 PowerWalls: ~$58k, or ~$47k after ITC. For a 13.5kw system with 3 PowerWalls: ~$79k, or ~$62k after ITC. There is no written guarantee, as “All financial values are estimates” and this is only a proposal and not the actual contract.

No, my roof is not flat. Most of It is south, east, or west facing, and the pitch is such that even the north facing portion receives sunlight in the summer months.

This was not spelled out in the proposal I received, and I did not think to ask about that specifically.

My roof is 2255 sqft and they gave me a range of 8.04 kw to 13.51 kw, depending on how many active solar tiles I install. According to the proposal, the entirety of my roof is capable of active solar tiles.

I submitted my deposit on the day of the V3 announcement and just received my proposal today. I had a phone call with my sales rep and was told that if I act this week they expect to have the installation done before the end of the year and will be eligible for the full 30% tax credit. I’ll let...

I gave up hoping that Tesla will bring CarPlay to my M3, so I went the DIY route and added CarPlay myself. While this isn’t as good as having the CarPlay interface on my main Tesla screen, I now have a CarPlay display on a cheap android tablet mounted to the left of my steering wheel. There’s a...

Well, I guess my hour on hold with the DMV this morning was premature. My decals arrived in the mail today. Mailed: 1/2/2019 Processed: 2/8/2019 Cashed: 2/13/2019 Postmarked: 2/26/2019 Received: 3/1/2019

I finally got thru to someone at the DMV and they won’t do anything about missing stickers until at least 30 days after the processing of the initial application. :(

I’m in the same boat as you. My check was cashed on Feb 13th and I still haven’t received my stickers. And I’m not able to get through on the phone line, either. Very frustrating.

This happened to me yesterday (warning came and would not go away even after all tires reported 40+ psi). I found doing a power off (from Controls->Security) cleared the warning on my car.

This problem resolved itself for me when I applied the pending update yesterday (but the version number before and after the last update was the same).

This is happening to me and support suggested I power off the car (from the Controls->Security menu), wait 3 minutes before powering it on, then soft-reset (with the two steering wheel buttoms). But that didn’t fix it for me.

If you have the time, I’d personally recommend you take it in. Maybe they find it is a hardware issue for you, or maybe they can push the firmware with the fix. I got a loaner, and I believe *most* service centers will provide a loaner if they have one available.

(I was just going to lurk on this forum, but I had to respond to this thread.) I, too, have experienced this problem. The first time my fan did not function all day (3 different times driving the car), but magically started working again the next day. Despite that, I took it in to the service...
