    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Tesla just doesn't respond to emails, period... it continues to stun me each and every day as to how they treat their customers... if I ignored emails for weeks/months on end like they do, I would not have a job... plain and simple...

    Seriously? Curious as to how you were able to determine this?

    Absolutely Disgusted With Tesla & Connected Solutions

    Hi there I tried filing a complaint with the AG's office back in August (online form) but haven't heard anything back yet. I'll have to try calling them

    Absolutely Disgusted With Tesla & Connected Solutions

    I wanted to share my experience with Tesla and Connected Solutions (installed in June 2022). Everything started off OK with my system being registered and participating right away, as far as I could tell. After a couple of events, there were suddenly no more events which I thought was very odd...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I still haven't gotten my 2022 check for ConnectedSolutions, despite trying to resolve this with Tesla time and again throughout 2023... I keep getting told that they're working on it... they're just the worst...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Unfortunately, SMART program is essentially worthless now, at least in my personal experience... my rate is something like $0.03/kWh and from what I am told, this is actually a relatively high rate.

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I'm with National Grid in Bellingham and still haven't received my check from *last* year (Tesla is clueless as to why)... in addition, I haven't seen this new UI so I am questioning if I'm even enrolled still this year...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I am also *still* waiting for Tesla to send me the check... they're absolutely ridiculous

    Apple Music is awful on Intel (mcu2). Is it any better on mcu3?

    My 2020 M3 takes 2-3 seconds to load a new song (oddly, scrubbing around in a song is smooth) and songs will just skip (fail to play) now and then. Two or three songs in a row when this happens, no rhyme or reason that I can see...

    Still nothing for me, last communication was 12/22 confirming my address and that utility was working on it.

    2020 M3 Apple Music Issues

    Do you have the same car and approximate purchase date? Just trying to get a sense if that might be a reason (unlikely)

    2020 M3 Apple Music Issues

    I'm curious if others have been experiencing the same issues that I am seeing on my 2020 Model 3. I first tested it on my home WiFi network and noticed that songs have a 1-2 delay (see attached video) when starting. Not a dealbreaker but disappointing for certain. This also happens on Premium...

    Apple Music integration…

    Just to clarify what I mean by "delay", check out this video... you can hear the song playing and then when I "rewind" the song, there's the spinning arrow as it seems to be loading before it plays again

    Apple Music integration…

    Interesting, I first noticed it when connected to WiFi which definitely shouldn't happen but then I also see it on Premium Connectivity (although, perhaps not all of the time, hard to tell). I don't understand the '+' or checkmark cause so far I have only tried playing my own playlist which is...
  16. J

    Apple Music integration…

    One other thing that I've noticed that is that in my playlist some songs are shown in black text, while others are in grey text. Seems similar to Apple Music app when songs are not enabled but all songs are enabled in the playlist
  17. J

    Apple Music integration…

    Got some questions that maybe others have figured out about Tesla Apple Music. When playing a song or showing music in general, what does the '+' button do? I know that clicking it makes it a CheckMark - my expectation is that is similar to adding a song to your library in the MacOS Music app...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    And just today, I noticed that my app is no longer displayed 'TVPP' which likely means (as before) that I'm not participating in events as of today. I've already called Tesla but this is ridiculous

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    And the event ended at ~41% full, down from 100%... so weird...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    So strange... a short time ago, I got an alert for Storm Watch... then my PWs started charging and then while still in SW, they began discharging for a CS event... and now the SW event is gone, yet there's still lots of rain and thunder... gotta love it

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    My system is newer, installed May 2022 but they're just PW, not PW+

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Oddly, my batteries only discharge to ~30% when an event runs from 5PM to 7PM. They still discharge at 10kW for a total of ~19.8kWh. The odd part is that this would imply a total capacity of >28kWh
  23. J

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Personally, I want it to charge my battery as fast as possible via solar to ensure that it's at 100% for any potential event. Therefore, I prefer it when it dumps all solar production into the battery until full, utilizing the grid for all house use. Your "purchases" from EverSource don't...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Yeah, that's what I would say as well... interestingly, my mom had some genuine 2-hr events cause they started at 5PM, vs 4PM

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Hmmm, interesting that things seemed to change mid-week for you...
  26. J

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I think that others are seeing this but just to confirm... it seems that Tesla/NG/EverSource are often pulling at the full 5 kW per PW, regardless of whether the event is 2 or 3 hrs? Is that correct? I just had an event that discharged from 4PM to approximately 6:15PM at 10 kW (2x PW here)...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    Finally got my PowerWalls working with ConnectedSolutions... took me calling into PW Support, fixed after about 2 hrs... all after they ignored my emails for 10+ days. Now begins my fight to have them not count those missed 19/22 events against me

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    So I *finally* heard back from [email protected] and it turns out (as expected) that I've been missing events *every* single weekday since July 11th. They have reached out to Tesla to find out what in the world is going on. I don't actually expect that this will happen but I am...

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I still have not had events since early July 1st two events. I noticed today that I no longer have Tesla VPP in my app menu. Am increasingly concerned that I somehow got sidelined/unenrolled

    Still no events for me in Bellingham this week and all of last week... very strange

    My mom's outside New Bedford on EverSource and has also had events each day this week

    I'm in Bellingham, whereabouts are you?
  34. J

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I haven't had any events at all this week, despite having one last week. Should I be "concerned" (i.e, could I be missing out on events unintentionally)?
  35. J

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    So do folks think that the event mess-ups earlier will adversely affect our incentives? My mom's had two 2-hr events so far, great average kW on those but the two earlier ones just kill her incentive

    Volume Turning Itself Down at Certain Levels iPhone Spotify App via Bluetooth to Tesla

    Connected Solutions Real-World Experiences (MA - National Grid / EverSource)

    I'm in Bellingham with National Grid and had a 3-hr event yesterday, starting at 4PM. My mom who has EverSource in Acushnet had some odd behavior where it was discharging for a short time (no Grid Service on main screen for her - only to 88%). My average discharge rate was 7.3 kW, for a total...

    Tesla 4.8kW + 2x PW Expansion

    Perhaps, although I believe that they said it wasn't possible before they moved them to the garage. The whole design process was an ordeal because of the disconnect btw me, advisor and designer. I think that the design team is just confused at times, they insisted the inverter needed to be...

    Tesla 4.8kW + 2x PW Expansion

    Yup, I'm reasonably happy with it... it'd have been better with everything in the basement but alas, that wasn't an option.

    Tesla 4.8kW + 2x PW Expansion

    If they were floor mounted then they would have been ~3 ft out from the PWs (and seriously impacting parking). I always wanted to mount them above ground (to allow stuff underneath) and I asked that very question about the bollards. It's what the town wanted to meet MA code.

    Tesla 4.8kW + 2x PW Expansion

    Yeah, I don't know... I tried to get them to give me a PW+ for these various reason but they were quite adamant that it wasn't possible in conjunction with an existing system. So my install is finished as of yesterday afternoon (two days, not bad). The installers did a fantastic job, running...

    Tesla 4.8kW + 2x PW Expansion

    Hi Thanks for the detailed reply! Alas, I'm not sure if it'll apply to me since i don't have a PW+; I asked for one but was told that they couldn't be used when integrating with an existing solar system. It seems that this was inaccurate :-( - too bad, although probably won't matter much in...

    Tesla 4.8kW + 2x PW Expansion

    System's not installed yet (tomorrow) so I imagine that I'll get a Gateway 2? Does solar get throttled (i.e, 90%., 80%, etc) or just turned on/off when PWs are full if power's out? Good suggestion, thanks! I also need to make sure that they install soft starter for my A/C units. Yes, I have...

    Tesla 4.8kW + 2x PW Expansion

    I have an existing 6kW solar system that Tesla is expanding upon with a 4.8kW + 2x PW this coming Monday. As I understand it, Tesla has some mode of operation that allows you to use your system w/ PW to some extent prior to PTO. Will that work for me with an expansion system (and this no PW+)?
