I paid right around that same amount for my PowerShare and Gateway setup earlier this year. Wolf River Electric handled the whole installation, including the local permits and utility sign-off. Given the amount of subpanel rewiring and the 200A main breaker separation required for bi-directional...

Knowing my luck, they'll release it the day after I sell my truck.

I'm not an expert on EV fires but I've read about similar crashes before. From what I understand, the main battery not catching fire is actually pretty common when the battery pack stays intact during the crash. The fire probably came from something more conventional like brake fluid, wiring...

Ford Sierra estate. Brown. Smelled like dog and cigarette smoke. Back seat was my kingdom on long journeys. I can still hear the door squeak.

I think they're prioritizing certain configs or regions. Or just pulling names out of a hat. No clue.

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.
