??? Are you talking about a wall charger? Def not a powerwall...

Wow, now we're talking! Second the motion for a first hand review. And yeah I get it on the subs. Everyone is blown away by the sound system, but they are clearly not the degenerate never-stopped-being-teenagers that we are. I took heat for saying the same on this forum back in February, glad...

I did 75% crystalline, and it's pretty much perfect if you ask me. Cuts down the heat a ton, but also obscures vis through the front just enough. The angle and flatness of the windshield helps out a lot on this; you don't need much tint before the outsiders see more glare/reflection than...

I went with this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H6Q9XWF Fits nicely on top of the mobile charger in the smugglers bay, with outer slots still available for other items. Reasonably quick (took me about 2 minutes to inflate from ~20 to 50 psi), not as loud as the reviews suggest, and has all...

Check out what they are rolling out in Maryland: https://www.energy-storage.news/maryland-is-first-us-state-to-pass-vehicle-to-grid-legislation-alongside-virtual-power-plant-tariff-rules/ Time to put that 123 kWh pack to work to earn it's keep? In California, Tesla has a Virtual Power Plant...

Umm... what? Ok I see where this is going, and I'm not sure why every thread on this board eventually turns into this, but I decline. So I'm signing off this thread! But I do recommend for anyone interested to do a couple quick Google searches for grid forming vs grid following inverters...

A couple of things: 1. An inverter is just another name for a DC to AC converter. The CT does this with a 240v 11.5 kW inverter onboard in the battery penthouse. 2. From what I've read, the 3V is similar to previous V2 and V1 gateways, it just also had the grid forming components onboard. For...

There's totally a way for it to do so, just like the powerwalls do. They just operate in grid following mode using the grid as reference, and supplement (or completely cover) the grid power going to your home. Tesla is just not implementing it, maybe due to hardware/software shortcoming but...

My bet is they want to let you know you're way better off spending more on a PW than be disappointed with the install costs and limited functionality provided by the 3V gateway that's included with FS. Better for them, and in my opinion they would be right. It's silliness to pay $3-7k install...

Totally! And after we get bit, gonna need the cybertruck to venture out for fresh prey!

Depends on your goal. I was looking to be energy neutral, or as close to it as I could reasonably be. Meaning no import from the grid during normal conditions. For this I got 3 powerwalls and a 12 kW array. This works for maybe 70% of the year, but in the winter I'm limited by the solar due to...

Couldn't agree more. I've also run mine through the drive through wash several times. So it gets "microscratches". If it starts to look off, I'll just refinish it every few years and maybe try some new looks/ textures. Personally I love the idea of raw material I can modify as I see fit like a...

Ok everyone, let's put the pitchforks away already. And I get it - in fact I was the first one to yell "sus!" But the OP has already backed away from the claim this was 100% a major failure of the truck, see below. And let's be honest here, especially with insurance potentially claiming...

Hmmm... That is interesting. Mine are super beefy and I see no real issue that would warrant a redesign, although I haven't tried serious loads on these yet. But as you say, it could also be cost reduction or that there is some excessive fallout rate. The only "complaint" I have with these...

Just know that even after install, you'll be waiting for a SW update to enable powershare functionality. They are saying June which is Tesla-speak for October.

My bad!

Yes.

Yup. Pump and dump that garbage immediately upon delivery.

In addition to the locking diffs that others have added to the list, don't forget about Powershare (both the 3V gateway and the Powerwall versions). But yeah as far as FSD, I am betting it doesn't show for another 6 months at least. In the meantime, I'm just hoping they enable a version of...
