once you have done it for a few hundred nights and have a few decades of age it starts to get old and you realize it's just easier to sleep on something else.

thats the reason to still keep a powerwall. it starts automatically.

except when you have the EV away from home and your power goes out. There's still some value to a backup source that is always at home.

Since it's been a few weeks now that anyone has been scheduled, does that translate to weeks delay in being built- or can they schedule now for the first week of June or is the time delay between scheduled and built fixed?

i think that video was in another thread where the answer was that you can't charge the vehicle and power the house at the same time. It's unfortunate that they didn't set up the wiring to support this option.

those of us with early wave orders of lariat ERs look at that chart and ask why isn't mine scheduled yet?

My current solar system has a lockout switch and an internal 120v outlet, that could trickle charge the truck in the event of a power outage, but it wouldn't be very fast. It's intended as emergency power for a freezer or some other device you want to power, but it would only work during enough...

This topic came up in another thread and I think the answer was that the current wiring setup of the charger would not support simultaneous charging of the truck via solar and powering the house. i agree it should be a capability, but there's something different about the powerwall setup that...

don't worry, there will also be a thread about people sad about their delayed deliveries.

what wave was your order?

that sounds exactly like my progress on my wave 3 Lariat ER, except I called and added max tow last week based on the comments about range and charging impact. Still no build date

I think the base is narrow on that camper because it has to fit inside the wheel wells. That's why there's extra space in the back, they can't customize it to any particular truck because they are all slightly different- except in the space between the wheel wells.

I thought I had read somewhere that there were standard, but that might have been some preproduction paperwork. I agree the price is reasonable, but I don't want to wait any longer than I have to, and power anything is just one more item to break the day after the warranty ends.

shouldn't they be free since they were supposed to be standard issue. Was the $225 for the cover or the running boards? Didn't the op add both?

Has anyone been scheduled for production the last few weeks? I remember seeing a wave for a couple weeks and now nothing. I wonder what's up?

the third row in the model X is tiny as mentioned, and I can't believe anyone over 6 will fit in the third row of the model Y. I'm considering a model Y myself, since we need a car to carry 5 people and a large dog or two, but the large EV SUV market just isn't there yet. I hope that Volvo...

connecting to the grid is a whole new concept, I think this puts it more in line with a mobile powerwall

thanks for the info. I guess I'll deal with that problem down the road if I add a second ev. With enough Ford chargers out there in a few years someone might make a ford to tesla adapter that fits.

Isn't there a tesla adapter that just fits the top, or is that what you are saying will conflict with the plastic piece?

Can the Ford pro charger also charge non Ford EVs- specifically Teslas? If I were to get a Tesla later after installing the charger pro, can I just use a regular adapter or will the DC plugs that are used for the backup system somehow cause issues?
