I went the same route after my wife bought her Lightning last year to go along with my Model 3. I also recommend the Tesla Universal Wall Connector to anyone who purchases an EV with a CCS plug so that any future EV they buy with an NACS port will be able to use the same wall charger. For what...

Thanks for posting this. It definitely doesn’t sound like a project for the faint of heart! I do have an electrician I will have to contact and see whether he would be intrigued enough to turn mad scientist, and convince the county inspector this would be safe!

I went with the Tesla universal charger, because it will also work with any future electric vehicle I get. Last I heard, most manufacturers will be switching their 2025 model year vehicles to the NACS connector. Plus, if you ever add a second electric vehicle and get a second Tesla wall charger...

What is FDRS? Our other car is a Tesla and not having the walk away lock has been driving me crazy.?

Mine is showing September, which is unchanged for me.

This rate plan only applies to their customers who switch to renewable energy sources, so I believe it is used as a way to generate revenue and discourage other customers from adding solar or wind power to their homes. They also increased my monthly connection fee, so I begin each month owing...

It’s a co-op, so they avoid many of the public utility regulations.

Their peak power only happens for one hour out of each month. They make you pay an extra $15/month to send you emails telling you when it might be. The time is given as windows. I have had months where I received more than 15 emails like this. As long as there isn’t snow covering my panels and...

Sweet! Please post details when you have them! The next question is whether it will work with my existing solar setup and backup battery.

They are researching to see if anything can be done. Unfortunately my 2nd generation powerwall will not even accept a generator input, so I may be stuck paying the big bucks to use the Ford charge station if I want the additional backup power. I don’t often lose power where I am, but my...

Oh well, thanks for the great information everyone! If my electricians have any ideas on ways to work it out, I will post them here after they visit on Monday.

Thank you.

This was why I wondered about using Tesla’s Universal Wall Charger with my Lightning. from their website: I will post again after Monday, when I have spoken with my electrician. Their company is certified for Tesla’s solar equipment as well as multiple other brands, and they do installations...

I already have a Model 3 and standard wall charger. On Tesla’s store site, it says the Universal wall charger supported vehicle to home charging, for the Cybertruck only. I didn’t know if that was because it was the only vehicle they currently have that supports that feature, or if it was...

Thank you for your opinion. I have the electrician who did all the original work coming out for an estimate as well. $10000 only gets me one more Powerwall for my existing system, whereas the extended range battery in my Lightning has the capacity of around 11 of them. Have you had any...

I just received my charge station pro yesterday and was wondering if anyone has been able to use other equipment to perform the home backup power? Like the Tesla universal wall charger? I already have solar panels with a backup battery at home but Sunrun still wants to charge me for all new...
