  1. Help understanding solar/powerwall 3/powershare

    In other news, Tesla is soon going to offer a DC expansion PW 3 for about 1K cheaper. It's cheaper because it doesn't have the brains nor transformer. So it gives you an extra 13.5 kwh storage, but it doesn't add power. So you'd still be limited to 11.5KW with one power wall. Maybe 23kwh...
  2. Help understanding solar/powerwall 3/powershare

    Whole house backup? Could you please explain why you say you would want another PW? Can't you just store excess in the grid, and then charge the truck from that? You already said you did ok with load management during an outage. CT would definitely add extra storage capacity. Will it give...
  3. Weird dark smoke-like stain on the side of my new Cybertruck

    Watched Colletton many times! But then I watched Yvon from DIY Detail video has me second guessing. He is adamant to NOT use BKF. Of course he used the products they sell: DIY Rinseless, DIY Spot remover, DIY iron remover, DIY panel Prep and DIY metal coating. Not to mention DIY sponge and...
  4. Weird dark smoke-like stain on the side of my new Cybertruck

    I think the slight champagne color is the normal color when the new protective lawyer is formed. I did front door panel on Sat night, and it was shinny. The next day I did the back door panel and it was super shiny also. The front panel was then noticably less shinny and slightly champagne...
  5. Weird dark smoke-like stain on the side of my new Cybertruck

    What coating did you use? I just did a full passivation with Tesla Citrisurf 77 and blue Scotchbright. Got everything looking new except one panel that I accidentally had let a spot remover drip down from Windows. Will give it a third pass. Might try BKF if that doesn't work (some recommend...
  6. No power via rear USB-C Ports ?

    Until, fixed you can plug a charging brick into the 110 outlet!
  7. No power via rear USB-C Ports ?

    Both my rear ports work. Didn't change anything.
  8. Powershare Gateway + Solar Do Not Mix

    So you didn't really use the PowerShare contractor to set up Power Share. No free equipment, and he just wired the charger to your panel? If Tesla installed a PowerWall, then they already installed a gateway along with it. Probably the V3? If that's the case, then you are done and the...
  9. Powershare Gateway + Solar Do Not Mix

    Yes, Tesla said it is possible to add PowerWall to 3V gateway. Special provisioning required to dumb down the gateway, because the PowerWall 3 becomes the brains. Once you have the PowerWall, DC panels plug into the PowerWall itself.
  10. WhistlinDiesel Cybertruck Durability Torture Test #1 (vs F-150)

    Kind of flimsy, but I'm ok with it. Probably easier and cheaper to replace compared to metal work on another truck if dented or scratched.
  11. Anyone got the magical 12.5 FSD update for their truck?

    It's in 12.5.1 Or not....listed as upcoming improvements.
  12. Things I didn’t know. . .

    Ash o matic (Model Y, right above CT) is worse....167 GB.
  13. Things I didn’t know. . .

    Didn't know CT would hog my upload bandwidth. 90 GB in the last 30 days. Feeding FSD development I assume. Used to be worse...
  14. Anyone been able to adjust panel alignment on their own?

    I saw this also. Mine is a little off, but SS said it was in spec. From the manual, it looks like we might be able to access the aft most bolt after pulling down the weather stripping. Tightening it a little might pull the strip down enough to make it less unsightly.
  15. Tesla Voucher Received - Now what should I buy?

    I'd like to use $$$ toward PowerWall 3 and normal Gateway 2/3.
  16. Tesla Voucher Received - Now what should I buy?

    As long as charger is on backed up loads. To test, turn off power to house and make sure charger still has power. What kind of Gateway do you have?
