Not without damaging the black trim piece. I ramped to the max force I was willing to apply. Beyond that damage will happen.
In the video, it's clear the person can wedge his fingers between the white trim and black trim. Mine seems welded.
Yes, in Los gatos near San Jose.
Best pic I have is above. No way to photograph epoxy. But there is a clear bond between the black piece and white piece.
Hi Rednave,
Yes, the 2 pins in the video are directly into the side. But the problem I'm having is an additional attachment to the white piece of the dash. It appears permanently bonded.
What was your vin?
You're in the same town. We could meet up and show me? :cool:
I have a 500 vin and found that the piece of interior I need to remove appears to be permanently attached to the large white piece adjacent to it.
Anyone with an early Vin get this to work?
AWD owner here. I would have bought the beast if it were delivered first. That being said I'm super happy with the AWD performance. I also own a Plaid so I don't feel any FOMO.
If you skip the beast, I think you'll still be happy.
I managed to get the 3V gateway installed and uni wall connector before they pulled the plug on deployment due to firmware issues on the gateway. For me it has to be a physical visit to update the firmware before the backup feature is enabled. Once they start rolling them out again it'll be...
yah you could hit the breaker to force CT to kick in and power things during prime electricity. But they wanted to keep the CT off the grid to simplify UL and permitting. Powerwall does all the grid functionality.
So basically it's equivalent to a diesel generator with autocut switch. That...
The value add is as follows -
1)Connects a 123kwh battery which is equivalent to 10 powerwalls in capacity
2) for extended blackouts, drive your truck to a working SC and recharge your house.
Major value in PowerShare. Just to get everything you also want at least one powerwall to unlock...
If you have solar and want time shifting it makes sense to eventually add at least one powerwall to the PowerShare setup. I have solar and it’s a bummer it’ll never contribute in a blackout unless I add a powerwall.
Hmm
According to this video
Powershare will _never_ be grid "interactive" which simplifies UL/permitting. And therefore should have zero effect on your PGE plan.
It's equivalent to buying a diesel generator with cutover switch.
Just had PowerShare (gateway v3 plus wall connector) installed and I added a uni wall connector on the external corner of the house where I park the truck.
Gateway v3 is full installed. The UninWall connector and my house backup loads are all connected to the gateway. The only thing missing to make it work is the firmware which is delayed until March sometime. And won’t be an OTA update. Once the update the firmware manually it’ll operate with OTA...
99.9% of outages I’ve experienced are weather related or fire prevention related. They are always localized to where the damage is. Which is a small area of grid.
In Silicon Valley there is a crazy density of SC’s. If the Los Gatos SC is down I’ll drive to Campbell a few miles away. Etc...
