@Jones1 any update on your system design for the powerwalls yet?

 

[Jones1]

If you don't drive much, porsche insurance is the cheapest I could find.

Wonder what the insurance will look like on this big boy lol won’t be a problem for me for a long while though since I was crazy late putting in my preorder haha

 

[DrewHou]

So I decided to reach out to Tesla to check on the timeframe of adding my additional powerwalls and it looks like there’s a good bit of time for me to learn my patience haha.

So considering that’s the timeframe maybe I will get my extra powerwalls in time for summer Hope this also helps others that are thinking about adding more.

@Jones1 if you end up talking with someone let me know if you get the same response. We all know Tesla sometimes gives different information

This is definitely an improvement! 2 years ago, all my messages - text, emails, phone calls went to the dead letter queue, that's why I switched to using a local company.

 

[DrewHou]

Yeah I will be interested to see how long it really takes. I figured they must be backed up. I was truly hoping to get it installed by end of year so I can use the tax credit to reduce what I owe next year since I will have a substantial tax liability. Not looking likely haha

Interesting. I wonder if a local company could add a couple at the same price as Tesla.

Unlikely, Tesla is probably the cheapest you can get. I use Good Faith Energy, I think their residential service serves Austin and North Dallas areas and commercial services in wider Texas areas, they are definitely more expensive, but likely more willing to work with customer needs. Their services have been excellent.

I don’t know if this is new or not but just found this section in the Tesla app. Nice feature to have especially since it logs charging for any EVs that have charged not just your own. Have a friend that charged while he was here and it doesn’t show under the vehicle section (only my vehicle shows up there) but does show up here.

I have a question on the Tax exemption for solar/wind powered energy devices. How do you come to know about this exemption? Do you see any deduction line items in your annual appraisal property tax? How does the appraiser knows that I have solar equipment installed and increased the property values? I am afraid if I filed this next year then they increase and then deduct from it which ended up increasing the property value.

I don’t remember how I found out about it. However my solar showed up on the tax assessment website shortly after install. I assume they knew through permits.
