Still waiting on this update, honestly. Navigating tight lots is a nightmare without seeing accessible spots ahead of time. I actually just got my permit sorted last month - ended up going through ParkingMD for the medical side since getting a regular doctor’s appointment was taking forever...

They definitely look tiny compared to the size of the truck. I've been worried about people not seeing them in bright sun. Just look for light bars that tap into the trailer hitch wiring.

She probably just took a break. Forum burnout is real after posting that much. Happens to the best power users.

Honestly, waiting for a discount from Tesla is kinda gambling lol, they don’t really do predictable promos like that. If demand dips you might see something, but by September it’s just as likely nothing happens. Premium over dual motor only makes sense if you actually care about the extras long...

Haha yeah that “perfect delivery” high hits hard day one. Give it a week and you’ll be wiping fingerprints every 5 minutes like the rest of us. 220 miles with 26% left is actually solid, people underestimate how efficient it is when you chill your speed a bit. And yeah the attention… you...

Old thread, I know, but I found it now and maybe it will help someone else if I leave a comment too. I wouldn’t stress about them slowing your order, companies usually separate legal stuff from fulfillment. The clause is more about future disputes, not day to day ops. Mine had something similar...

Short answer, not really lol. App + account page is all you get and it barely updates. Real signals are VIN assigned, text from Tesla, or sudden delivery window tighten. Those drone flyovers are fun but useless for your specific order. If you’re early AWD you’ll just sit in “June” limbo for a...

Nah you’re not an outlier, this is classic Tesla chaos lol. Those early delivery windows are basically placeholders, once they start pushing dates like that it means your config isn’t lined up yet. Armor package probably slowing you down too, anything non standard gets kicked around more. I’d...

Yeah, don’t trust that June date too much, Tesla timelines love to slip lol. If you bought in that 10 day rush, you’re basically in the “we’ll tell you later” bucket. Best move is to watch your VIN assignment, that’s the real signal things are moving. Until then it’s all vibes and guesses tbh.

The backplate is the same, so physically mounting it is a breeze. The real work is in the software sync with your Gateway. Since you're on the ecosystem with Powerwalls, it should be a smooth transition, but you might need to re-run the commissioning process to recognize the new hardware.

Using the truck as a mobile energy storage unit is a smart way to beat those high utility rates. Have you checked if there are any efficiency losses when transferring power from the vehicle back into your home storage?

If you're skipping gas, you’re gonna need a beefy generator for that AC/heat combo. I had Wolf River Electric handle my wiring and the transfer switch setup a while back, made a huge difference in peace of mind. Just a tip: get the soft-start installed at the same time as the generator so you...

The hardware included with those early orders is indeed the same unit listed on the site. For a 10% to 80% charge at 11 kW, you’re looking at roughly 8 to 9 hours, since the battery pack is quite large. It's a full overnight charge.

Going with the V3 Gateway is a smart move for future-proofing. It offers better integration and higher amperage limits compared to the older versions or simple backup switches, especially if you plan on adding solar later.

Most home battery systems are built for single-phase setups by default. If your home or charger requires 3-phase, you'll likely need a multi-unit configuration to cover all three legs properly.

Not yet, but that 48V is the biggest reason I bought the truck. I'm waiting for a proper accessory kit to drop, maybe a big air compressor for airing up huge tires fast, or a small fridge setup for camping. I want to avoid rigging something myself and having it look messy. So far, just looking...

Honestly that front casting looks huge even stripped down. I always forget how much of the structure is just one big piece now. Cool to see that red next to the bare metal.

Look, $100 an hour sounds like a lot until you try cutting vinyl around a headlight or door handle without slicing the paint underneath. It's an artisan skill. That 30 hours of labor is just the time the final application takes; it doesn't include the 8 hours of disassembly, cleaning, panel...

98% is super impressive, congrats on the smooth trip! The fact that you felt more comfortable with the car driving than your 19-year-old is the real selling point right there, lol. I'm sitting at around 85% FSD usage, mostly because my daily commute involves a lot of weird, narrow residential...

Cool skin man! I think Santa is proud of this.🙈
