    Cybertruck home charging and utility Time of Use, overnight rates, Not enough time

    As a Pacific Gas & Electric customer in the Bay Area, supercharing is often cheaper than charging at home.

    PowerShare Install Process & Assessment

    I got this email from my installer. They installed everything two weeks ago, but did not connect the backup switch that goes behind the meter. The email seems a little odd as to why they need to access everything again. Take a look at what they emailed: “Good afternoon, I wanted to reach out...

    Home charging Cybertruck using Tesla Mobile Wall connector?

    Just a FYI on the 110v charging speed via the mobile connector adds a max +3 kw per hour (because I did not have a NEMA 14-50 when I got my Cybertruck), it takes a long time to charge a 123 kw battery. The Tesla Universal Wall Charger adds +11 kw per hour, which works out to approximately 28...

    My charging curve at V4 SC (nothing new)

    To my knowledge the V4 units are not completely turned on (not sure why) and on the Cybertruck side their needs to be a software update to properly receive & take advantage of the 800v architecture and increased charging speeds. It is unclear to me why they would not fully enable a new V4...

    PowerShare Install Payment & Question

    All of the equipment is shipped to the Tesla certified installer. There is no option to get it direct unless you buy the equipment, which would be foolish, because it is included with the Foundation Series. So the installer controls who gets installed, the schedule, the permitting and the...

    For me personally, nothing. I don’t meet the income qualifications.

    PowerShare Install Payment & Question

    Yesterday, my Universal Wall Charger was installed along with the PowerShare Backup Gateway 3V. However, they said Pacific Gas & Electric will need to come out to installed the backup switch behind the meter and the company who did the install will need to complete the PowerShare implementation...

    Install of Powershare Home Backup hardware

    I am not sure where you live, but my installer (Willow Glen Electric) said they were backed up already until early April. I am not sure how many installers are being allowed to do installs, but the other installs in the SF Bay seem to go through them. The downside is you might have to wait and...

    Install of Powershare Home Backup hardware

    You need the Cybertruck first. Your installer gets a email from Tesla as to who has received their vehicles. I got my Cybertruck on February 22nd. I heard from my installer on February 26th. I did a virtual (FaceTime) site inspection with them on March 1st. My installation is March 12th. They...

    Charging the Cybertruck at home?

    I am surprised I don't see any stats on the actual charging time for the Universal Wall Charger. My appointment to get it installed with the Powershare Backup Gateway 3V should happen within the next 10 days, but I would think someone has this data. I don't think the previous wall charger and...

    Install of Powershare Home Backup hardware

    I live in the Bay Area and my estimate is incoming. They believe it was be between $3,200 and $3,800. The thing people need to be aware of is that the PowerShare Gateway 3V and the Universal Wall Charger have to be physically linked via a communication wire. My main panel and UWC installation...

    Powershare installer South Bay is Willow Glen Electric

    So it is $1,050 + $1,900 + $650 for $3,600 all in? Cheaper than I thought with your Universal Wall Charger being 60 feet away from the nearest panel. I live in the Bay Area too. I have a sub panel in my garage and my Wall Charger is going to be able 10 to 15 feet away from the panel. I wonder...

    Install Home Charger Before Delivery?

    I am not sure what kinks they are coming across as both the Gateway is on V3 and the wall charger is believe is also on V3. Tesla should send the Wall Charger out so people can actually charge their Cybertrucks.

    Install Home Charger Before Delivery?

    I don’t think owning a Tesla factors into getting a Cybertruck early. I have never owned a Tesla and I got my VIN on February 18th and the truck is at Dublin, CA service center awaiting to complete inspection. I think the PowerShare and Universal Wall chargers are NOT being shipped to the...

    Install Home Charger Before Delivery?

    The scary part is, I have yet to see/hear of one person getting the PowerShare Gateway V3 and the Universal Wall Charger installed. Not one. So that means, you might be waiting awhile before that install happens. You need a plan B. Either use the local supercharger or get a NEMA 14-50 plug...
