When it comes Powerwalls and PowerShare, life would be good with one or the other, and having both is definitely way overkill, at least for emergency backup. If you need Powerwalls because Net Metering isn’t available in your area (so that you can save solar power for when the sun isn’t shining...

Our CT has been fantastic and everything we had hoped it would be! In terms of being a failure, I wouldn’t use that terminology, but when Elon Musk went to Washington DC and did what he did, and extremists on the other side started damaging CTs and harassing owners, it instantly killed a large...

Not to be a killjoy, but putting any refrigerator in a small, sealed space is asking for trouble, as there is no cooling air to counter the hot air that the refrigerator will produce. For tailgating, fine, but not for road tripping. An excellent cooler is the way to go. (A refrigerator in the...

We have a Cybertruck, an old solar system, the PowerShare Gateway, and the Universal Charger (the latter two that came with the Foundation package). The solar supposedly operates seamlessly with the PowerShare if and when there is a utility power outage. I can give slight correction to some of...

Proceed carefully; I am pretty sure that the certified installer used some software or app on my install to communicate with back to Tesla to get the gateway and/or universal charger fully initialized and so forth. My recommendation is to do some additional sleuthing to find out some of the...

And I’m not saying that 15 miles of range is necessarily significant in everyone’s situation, but if you are doing an A-B comparison, it IS one factor in favor of the FS.

Isn’t the range spec a bit higher in the FS though? (I suspect that they used slightly better batteries in the FS because there are no import restrictions on battery minerals or other components of the pack when you are not trying to meet the requirements for the $7500 tax credit…)

To be honest, we have been taking necessary trips to Manhattan (NYC) pretty regularly, and what we've been seeing lately is the foreign tourists on all the streets and sidewalks snapping pictures and being generally in awe at seeing a CT live probably for the first time. None of the hate (other...

Very worthwhile and fully-informative post!

And maybe even illogical to try to preserve the battery by acting as if it were 20% smaller than it actually is, rarely if ever benefiting from the fact that it is the size that it is. Use what you paid for, not abusively per se, but neither "babying" the battery with the sole net result of...

Concur; not practical from an energy or economic point of view. This product is effectively an expensive, custom window shade that also provides a bit of power. And particularly on the Cybertruck, the windshield is even bigger than the roof glass, so even as a sun shade up top, it wouldn't be...

I imagine that supercharging every day and sending the energy into your house later on in the day (perhaps by using the new PowerShare tripping ability!) would eventually qualify as “abuse”…

The electricians who installed our PowerShare gateway, that were assigned by Qmerit, I believe were using some specific software to configure things and/or establish communications back to Tesla. Which if so obviously wouldn’t be available to any regular electrician. Also, the job was a bit...

This company has a proven track record, and is the way I intend to go. Similar price if you can get the initial discount code...

We live in Staten Island and go to Manhattan occasionally. Unsurprisingly, the CT has the difficulty parking that you would expect with any "oversize" vehicle, but it seems nimble enough and noticeable enough to make its way through traffic and pedestrian crossings without any noticeable...

That's right, raising the front would do very little; it works like a seesaw (or teeter-totter) with one side much longer than the other. The wheelbase is about 12 feet, and the distance from the rear axle to the tow hitch is, what, 2.5 feet?, so raising the front all the way would add about...

By "all accessories", do you mean everything included in the FS package, such as the PowerShare equipment, or, easily-transportable items that go with the truck itself, such as the sun screen, or even things things perhaps not even provided yet, such as the light bar, or things that are...

FSD 13.2.9 came out not even a month ago. Based on the release notes, it should significantly improve the hardware/software package’s ability to capture and process data. That should pay off going forward, when the driving model is configured to take advantage of the increased processing.

My attitude is, if you are charging with AC, then AC is pretty handily nearby already, so instead of using the truck basically as an extension cord, you can simply grab another AC cord to do whatever it is that you want to do...
