I theorize they took down the date due to the other module issues that are holding up the updates. Same issue currently holding up updates in FDRS for users of that.

This shit is why I waited until now to get a Lightning.

Finally mostly finished enough to post some pics. Added fog lights and ditch lights, with switches and control integrated into the truck's ignition, high beams and parking lights. I'm using a CanM8 canbus interface to read the status of ignition, high beam, and parking lights. There's a canbus...

A much shorter explanation: The normal neutral-ground bond in your house electrical panel is seen by the truck as a ground fault and it will immediately trip the truck's outlet off. There are entire threads on this you can read for more detail.

You are not defeating your breaker panels ability to protect the house from faults. A new ground fault will still trip the breaker in your panel. That ground fault still has a path to the source, and therefore still will trip the overload, GFCI, or AFCI functions of your circuit breaker panel...

When not associated with a customer requested service upgrade, the transformer is never going to be his cost. If the power company needs to right-size their transformer to match the currently installed customer service, that will be 100% the power company's problem to pay for. Probably going to...

You are still overthinking this. You do not need a load study or to spend any money thinking about what to do. Install the charger wherever you want it, on a 100 amp breaker. The end. Set it for whatever max you want, whether it is a 80 or something else, and enjoy your charger. You're not...

There is a 0.1% chance that $14 fake brand chinesium lights on Amazon will be useful in fog, or in really any other condition. There's no way to say that without sounding rude. It's just reality. Those lights don't belong on anything more substantial than a lawn mower. If you want light that is...

So they deleted the zone lighting controls from the app? Which I guess isn't a big loss since it was so slow and dysfunctional. No Pro Power data?? The HVAC controls seem to be the major useful addition.

The "Dark Start" battery is nothing more than a simple 12v battery. Any 12 battery will do. The typical alarm system lead acid battery will do. This is used to power up all the electronics in the FCSP and other home integration system components. The comms between the FCSP and HIS inverter...

Yes that was with my base load of lights & electronics, plus the well pump and tank water heater operating. If I'm running the heat pump (central AC/Heat), I typically leave the water heater off until I need to shower or something since that will be bouncing off the max load.

This also mitigates the fact that some things do not like the inverter output. There numerous LED bulbs in my house that blink or don't work at all when using the Pro Power. None are a big deal to me in a power outage, but it's a thing. By using the ProPower to charge the powerwall, that would...

They're not allowed to. Even if you asked them, they won't do it. They will only update modules in response to a problem, not just by request.

My PAAK crapped out as well. I had to delete and recreate it in the app.

It would/could be the superior setup due to being automated and slightly higher capacity. But it is such a discombobulated, unreliable, and over-priced mess today, I would never spend the money on it.

When I run the heavy power for the fcsp in the garage, I'm also going to bring in some 8 gauge for a second generator inlet. And a double throw switch outside the house to select which one. Sounds like. Just what you did. I have the same interlock on the panel that you probably do.

Unclear if this is a planetary scale disaster from the solar storm, or a squirrel farted on a power line down the road. But the Lightning is powering the house quite smoothly. So much quieter than my big portable generator that I normally use. Same capacity, 0% of the noise. Runs all the...

Which also isn't changing. It's not like Elon is diverting funding from his own network to other charging networks to help them make infrastructure that doesn't suck.

The other charging service providers and manufacturers have had the same amount of time, the same pool of engineering talent, and the same real estate availability as Tesla for the last decade. They could have been installing charging infrastructure that isn't broken all along and they didn't...
