Powershare is Activated / Enabled

[Kroton]

Just got an email from Tesla starting Powershare has been enabled. I've not had a chance to test yet.

Cool, congrats!

Can you tell us what work you had to do to your house to get this working?

Just got an email from Tesla starting Powershare has been enabled. I've not had a chance to test yet.

I received the same email today, but I'm not seeing it as activated in my app and am curious if it's just my install or if you're seeing the same thing. If I go to My Home in the Tesla app, it shows my Wall Connector is offline, but it does show up under my Tesla Electric view as being online.

Also, if I look at the Gateway for what version it is running, it shows no value for the firmware version.

I do see the option on my truck to enable Powershare and it is turned on, but I don't see the ability (as shown in Tesla's screenshots) to limit how much of the battery can be consumed before Powershare cuts off.

Something seems wrong to me, but when I reached out to Tesla about it yesterday they told me the software wasn't coming until June. I'm not sure if they're misinformed or if what I'm seeing is expected at this time. :/

They had to move my meter to make room for an emergency cutoff and install the gateway. There are two breakers in the emergency cutoff, one feeds the dryer circuit and the other feeds gateway. Everything except the dryer is backed up. We'll see if the truck can provide enough amperage to start the AC compressor.

I had the same issue with the wall connector at first. It reported having WiFi issues though it was connected to WiFi. I had to open a ticket to get that sorted.

The powershare page in my app looks the same as yours. I'm not at home so can't test yet.

Cool. I'm on with Tesla support right now and trying to work through why my Wall Connector is showing offline when it really doesn't seem to be.

I want to know what kind of bomb shelter house is in the email photo.

My PowerShare is also not yet active despite having the completed installation. Was told it will be turned on sometime in June.

So with us who have Powerwall and be denied to get Gateway V3, still have to wait until end of 2024. That sucks.

What kind of Powerwall and gateway do you have?

I was just talking to my installer and he said as of now 3V gateway can't be connected to Powerwall. And I learned that Gateway 3V is different than gateway 3 which does include instructions for adding a Powerwall.

I have Powerwall V2 with Gateway V2

How many amps is the Powershare plug rated for? Is it mounted outside or in the garage?

 

[Kroton]

Powershare LRA motor start is 110A. The locked rotor amps for my compressor is higher than that but I didn't recall how much higher. The electrician who did the install said it should fine.

My wall connector is installed on a sub panel in my garage.

Powershare was just enabled in the Tesla app. More pics in the thread.
