As of today the installation is finished. It was supposed to take 4 days but actually took 10 (working days, including a Saturday). They blamed most of the delay on missing parts. It was too dim to take a final photo, will do so on the first sunny day. A couple of teething problems with the controller and Powerwalls, still being worked on.
More likely 120VAC in North America. Unless you manage to touch both phases simultaneously before ground.Yet anyone can go to a salvage yard and access the same parts, only possibly damaged. I'll also point out that anyone can open up the breaker box in their house and access live 240VAC. For those who don't know AC causes muscle contraction which can make it impossible to let go while DC will push you away.
Sure, the two wires right next to each other on any 240V breaker, also right next to the neutral/ground bar. If the insulation is stripped back a little too far a misplaced screwdriver could make the connection. But yes 120V fun is more likely, and also deadly.Unless you manage to touch both phases simultaneously before ground.
Meh. Tesla isn’t trying to be like Legacy, but that doesn’t mean Tesla has suddenly figured out how to battle extreme and ever changing weather with their NEW technology. You didn’t expect there might be an unexpected problem or two along the way?Agreed. But it shouldn’t happen to Teslas. Our expectations, at least mine, are higher.
We laud all their deserved accolades for the innovations and ingenuity that distinguish from legacy auto. Likewise, I don’t expect them to repeat the errors of others.
An exec at Teradyne used to say “our *sugar* doesn’t smell any better than theirs”.
Bash away.
Meh. I've no "training", but am smart enough to know I need to educate myself in dealing with potentially dangerous tech. I've repaired my car's onboard chargers twice, and ripped the DC-DC converter open to address air-conditioning (a HV system) failure. I've read up and know enough to know what I can tackle, and what I shouldn't.No one should be touching any part of the HV system of an EV unless they are trained in some manner. I know of at least two people killed working on an EV and one was a hybrid mechanic. I have also personally witnessed a few close calls. HV systems are incredibly dangerous because they are DC, HV and have incredible energy.
You may be thinking of Sandy's disappointment that the Y still had a normalish 12V electrical system.ah, I see. Well, it seems my memory has failed me in this instance then because I swear there was a video of Sandy Munro tearing apart one of the first Model Ys and he suggested they add in a heat pump....don't have time right now to go back and search for that specific video....good to know though. thanks.

Chassis are needed more than innovation.Yeah Bollinger was an ambitious project, an expensive niche target market that would never have the volume to drive costs down. I'm sorry to see them give up on the B1 and 2, I'm not sure what expertise they bring to the EV delivery market. They had interesting designs for the body, (full length pass through for long cargo), and their machined transfer cases and portal axles, none of which seems to transfer to their new business model.
(WGHP) — Legendary singer Meat Loaf died Thursday at the age of 74.
Friday morning, TMZ reported that Meat Loaf had been diagnosed with COVID-19 recently and had been “seriously ill” prior to his passing.
The singer and actor, born Marvin Lee Aday, had been outspoken about COVID, specifically railing against vaccine mandates, according to TMZ.
No cause of death was given in the announcement of his death on his official Facebook page.
“Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight with his wife Deborah by his side,” the post said.
To the questions regarding service on Ask, I sure as Hell hope that they don't give it lip service (again). There are also some obvious policy changes needed at Tesla as well; they're just getting to be friggin' rude these days . . . that's unbecoming.
Rich Rebuilds latest is likely just the tip of iceberg. What used to be the outstanding service of years ago, with easily available loaners and quick repairs is now often a three-week crap shoot just to get an appointment, with 4- or 5- or 6-year beat to heck Tesla trade-ins as Service Loaners, or Uber credits.
It takes years to build a reputation; it can be ruined in days; watch and cry:

YouTube is a mess. “Influencers” will say whatever it takes to keep them at the top of the algorithm.Look, as someone who has remarked in the past Tesla hasn't invested enough in service- even I think that's a pretty garbage video from a dude who is mad to realize when he tried making content without the word Tesla in it his views dropped like a rock so he's now compelled to keep making Tesla content to pay the bills even though he's upset about it.

So anyway after Rich just rants for a while about nothing in particular for like 6 minutes- then we get an "interview" with an unhappy customer... he complains about parts shortages... which EVERY car brand has pretty publicly had these days...
Car Dealerships Face Parts Shortage And Workforce Challenges
However, digital tools may help to satisfy customers.gmauthority.com
57% of all legacy dealers have staff shortages, and 58% have significant parts delays. So a majority of all dealers have these same things going on.
Then it goes to another dude mad that a video of his mentioning he had a service issue got dislikes... and that it took THREE WHOLE WEEKS to fix his car during a pandemic... ISN'T THAT CRAZY he asks? Well, not really. See again everybody's got slow service right now.
Then the guy goes into the second-in-the-video Porsche commercial (Rich himself already did one earlier)
Hilariously Rich seems to realize people might notice a theme and runs a "This is not an advertisement for Porsche!" scroll underneath to disclaim it.
And it's not like Porsche doesn't also have delays with service like this or something...
Poor Porsche Service - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums
991 GT3, GT3RS, GT2RS and 911R - Poor Porsche Service - Its really dissappointing that porsche can build a GT3 in 5 days but they dont know how long to build a PCM. I got delivery from Porsche Scottsdale a GT3 with a defective PCM. I would not recommend this branch as they should have checked...rennlist.com
Guy had his GT3 delivered with a bad engine computer. After 10 days of the car being in service dealer had no idea how long to get a new one.
5 more owners post on thread (different models) with same problem...
OPs last post says dealer now told him it'd be another 3 weeks for the part. So longer in service than the PORSCHE IS AWESOME dudes Tesla repair took. (plenty more examples out there).
Ok, continuing-
Now we get to a dude upset that while his car was in for service he was still being billed for an FSD subscription (which is monthly billing)
The rep, correctly, tells him if he wants to stop the subscription at any time, for any reason, you just log into your tesla account and turn it off.
When you sign up BTW it explicitly tells you there's no refunds for the subscription, but this guy apparently makes multiple calls demanding one anyway
because he didn't "remember" to cancel it.
He also claims he didn't cancel because he didn't want to "lose" the remaining time for the month he paid for in case he got the car back from service while that month was still going. This, too, is absolute nonsense on the complainers part
If you cancel, you KEEP the remaining time on the month you paid for, you just don't get billed again. This, too, is explicit in the terms given to you.
So basically he didn't read anything he signed up for and is now REALLY MAD the customer service person is pointing out he didn't bother to do so.
So- I still think Tesla needs to improve service- both speed and especially communication.
But that video is an embarrassingly bad argument on that side of the debate.
