Awesome. I think I better contact Enphase tech support. Thank you for the info. I have not bought the IQ micro inverters yet. I wish they made an inexpensive mini-battery that would carry the load for the short time it takes the CT to back up the house. That is another thread… Just to be...

I am building a new home and incorporating the Cybertruck Gateway 3V I got when I bought the Foundation Series truck. I'm using a Tesla certified installer, who happens to be installing my new solar panels. The installer has talked with Tesla support and is being told the Gateway V3 does NOT...

Thank you, we can replace the house just fine. If I'm not installing the gateway, then I don't need a certified electrician. Will I be able to dovetail the gateway in later without making some special provisions for it now? Thanks again.

Well krap! I got my Foundation Series in March of 2024. I was planning to install the powershare eventually with my existing solar and a new battery. That plan went south when my house burned down in November 2024. I understood the $2,500 gateway/UWC offer expired in March of 2026 for me...

I just received the Tesla 2nd gen air compressor for $110. It says to "connect to your vehicle's 12V port". None of the online pictures for the compressor show the connector. Somehow, my mind thought USB connector. It has a really cool black square look with a built-in digital pressure...

I don't think I got a voucher. I am taking the CT in for all the recalls tomorrow and will ask them. Thanks.

So Fellas, my house burned down in November and now I'm worried about getting my FREE PowerShare hardware installed. I bought my FSCT in March. I contacted the approved electrical contractor about installing the PowerShare and got an estimate. Then, BOOM! the house burns in November. Of...

Just to be funny, sometimes I ask nurses or tech people (that have probably done something 1,000 times) if they have done this before. Maybe a good idea to ask the mobile tech that question seriously!

I do not put the CT in carwash mode when washing at home. The wiper has not come on when I’m washing it at home. I have it set to not lock when it is at home, so no alarms.

Can you skip updates? I didn’t think you could, but maybe if you wait long enough it will restack the update sequence. I often wonder how complicated it must be for Tesla to know what software update each car in the fleet needs. I suppose it is simple when they know each car configuration and...

Update a few days ago while it was not plugged in and everything is fine. I did not notice FSD being any worse. Still typical minor issues. It has become annoying beeping at me because I’m too close to the side of the road. I guess that makes me a “Lane Weaver”, or at least Mr CT thinks so!

I ran over a relatively small chunk of truck tire on the freeway last week and it damaged the right rear wind flap. That is prolly not the name of it, but it is the piece hanging down in front of the rear tire. When I first saw the damage, I couldn’t imagine how it happened. I tried to push...

I’m in a similar situation as the OP, March delivery, email that hubs are on the way and no word from the SC. If I worked at the CT factory, I would suggest each CT be delivered with an extra set of hubcaps so SC could get hubs for everyone with free delivery! Yeah, yeah, I know I’m a genius!

When you report the depth of inches left, could you do the math and report the projected end of tire life in miles, pretty please? Is there a recommended minimum tire tread depth?

OK, OK, I’m just ridiculous then….. I can handle that.
