Don’t get me wrong I’m all about sexy builds and nerd projects. I’m just not willing to do it on my truck just yet :)

Will stick with my EcoFlow Delta Pro and some solar panels for now if I really need some off grid charging. They have a nice adapter that tricks the unit in to thinking it has a real ground.

I'm remote and on offgrid solar with M3P seeing CT is a while out here still, but the problems are the same.

I always take a +30kW elastic Dyneema charge rope with me in case the sparse coverage of chargers are down, like on our last trip for Christmas. :cool:

How do you use the Dyneema charge rope?

You hook it between any old ICE and an EV and hit the regen just hard enough stuff doesn't overheat, and typically stay under 60kmh, although faster is possible, regen at higher speed can be uncomfortable with close distance (30ft) towing at speed. Only really advisable on fairly clean sealed roads though as stuff flicks up off the tow vehicle sometimes.

That would be an unenforceable term of service.

Law and case law say they have to prove any repair or modification was the source of the damage. Those little 'no user serviceable parts inside' void stickers aren't valid, either.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the charge on solar option to appear? I just got my new panels and powerwall turned on and don't have the option in my app yet.

Looks like it is built in in some way with the Anker Solix F3800
The Anker Solix F3800 supports direct EV charging via the 14-50 port with a maximum power of 6000W [240v*25a]. Before charging your EV, make sure to set the charge current to 25A (or less) on your EV settings or EV charger.​
