Probably unrelated to your issue, but to keep your expectations in line with "the rules" and what a Tesla Wall Connector will probably allow: "For a 60-amp breaker, the maximum continuous current (running 3+ hours) is 48 amps, based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) 80% rule (60A x 0.80) for...

The enhanced light sensitivity of cameras is a for sure thing. Sometimes pro golf matches on TV will go on past sunset, and the people at home can see what is going on just fine, but in person it is so dark that it is barely playable, and sometimes they will actually cut the camera over to...

One problem with an otherwise impeccable install: you can't run a refrigerator in an unvented space and expect it to get cooler and stay cooler. (In a little while, the air in the remaining airspace in the frunk will get very warm, eventually making its way through the cooler insulation, in a...

I have the PowerShare installed. What actually IS nice is that it integrates fine with pre-existing solar, whereas the solar previously de-activated when the utility power went down, which was exactly the wrong time to lose that power. The NEMA 14-50 solution might work too with solar, or not...

A potential issue is that anyone in the vehicle can give commands, including kids and even bad actors. Or, Grok could interpret something that’s part of a normal conversation between people as a command, as it sometimes does now. So the full list of possible voice actions would have to be...

When it comes Powerwalls and PowerShare, life would be good with one or the other, and having both is definitely way overkill, at least for emergency backup. If you need Powerwalls because Net Metering isn’t available in your area (so that you can save solar power for when the sun isn’t shining...

Not to be a killjoy, but putting any refrigerator in a small, sealed space is asking for trouble, as there is no cooling air to counter the hot air that the refrigerator will produce. For tailgating, fine, but not for road tripping. An excellent cooler is the way to go. (A refrigerator in the...

We have a Cybertruck, an old solar system, the PowerShare Gateway, and the Universal Charger (the latter two that came with the Foundation package). The solar supposedly operates seamlessly with the PowerShare if and when there is a utility power outage. I can give slight correction to some of...

Proceed carefully; I am pretty sure that the certified installer used some software or app on my install to communicate with back to Tesla to get the gateway and/or universal charger fully initialized and so forth. My recommendation is to do some additional sleuthing to find out some of the...

And maybe even illogical to try to preserve the battery by acting as if it were 20% smaller than it actually is, rarely if ever benefiting from the fact that it is the size that it is. Use what you paid for, not abusively per se, but neither "babying" the battery with the sole net result of...

The electricians who installed our PowerShare gateway, that were assigned by Qmerit, I believe were using some specific software to configure things and/or establish communications back to Tesla. Which if so obviously wouldn’t be available to any regular electrician. Also, the job was a bit...

That's right, raising the front would do very little; it works like a seesaw (or teeter-totter) with one side much longer than the other. The wheelbase is about 12 feet, and the distance from the rear axle to the tow hitch is, what, 2.5 feet?, so raising the front all the way would add about...

FSD 13.2.9 came out not even a month ago. Based on the release notes, it should significantly improve the hardware/software package’s ability to capture and process data. That should pay off going forward, when the driving model is configured to take advantage of the increased processing.

My attitude is, if you are charging with AC, then AC is pretty handily nearby already, so instead of using the truck basically as an extension cord, you can simply grab another AC cord to do whatever it is that you want to do...

If you put a pin in your actual home location, and save to Favorites, wouldn’t that be a reasonable workaround?

My iPhone 15 Pro gets hot enough to give a notification that it's "too hot to charge"... (Which is pretty hot, and probably not all that good for the longevity of the battery...)

Same here...

I would expect that regen produces significant power only when the vehicle is rapidly decelerating (converting momentum into electrical power), or coming down a steep hill (converting the potential energy of height into electrical power) at which point the vehicle would be applying the brakes...

The PowerShare feature is what finally made our Cybertruck purchase decision a "yes". The amount of power (up to 11.5 kW) and total energy (95% of 123 kWH) are phenomenal numbers. Any sense of what the conversion efficiency or power consumption of the onboard inverter itself is? (Our...
