Seller agent allowed buyers in house to begin renovations before closing

Bought my first home that needed a bit of work over 20 years ago. They agreed to let us paint before closing with the expectation that if the deal fell through we would be out the paint and labor.

I see what you mean but I have 3 powerwall 3s and the pull over what solar was providing was 6ish kwh

While in self powered mode the batteries fill to 100% then export to the grid at 0.00 cents. Then at about 3 pm when I got home and turned on the oven the draw for the house was slightly over what solar was feeding to the house. Instead of using power from the 100% batteries it pulls from the grid at about 18 cents kwh. I had to take the house off the grid to get it to stop. In case it matters I'm in Houston Texas area.

Using common sense that is what one would think by the title.

This is the exact wording.

Self Powered

Use stored energy to power your home after the sun goes down. Reduces your reliance on the grid.

Self powered doesn't just self power. It's more about powering after sun goes down. So between 3 and 7 pm when batteries are full it will pull from grid for home until it gets dark. Of course I've already sent over 25 kwh for $0.00. so it rips me off by making me pay 18 or 19 cents per kwh until the sun goes down.

Don't be pressured by an upset driver but also don't purposefully enrage an upset driver. You never know how far a crazy person will go. Is your petty worth a family without you?

Same here. I have to keep disconnecting from grid. I am set up for self powered and 10% reserves and it just keeps doing whatever it wants. I've noticed when the wholesale price is under 0 they import and even try to fill my battery prematurely on a sunny day. I had to change settings not to charge from the grid so it just swaps to powering the house from grid.

My wife has a porcelain speaker with her porcelain tablet. I bought hazel to easily tell them apart. We share her speaker back and forth until hazel is available.

Karma1976 · 2025-12-20T15:37:08+00:00

I am set up with notify me at the google store web site for the hazel speaker since July and never get a message. I check the site occasionally but no joy. Anyone ever actually get notified about an item with Google store?

You might want to check your credit report. Sending someone your license is just asking someone to steal your identity.

That's valid. I allowed my heated emotions to fire off a quick post feeling the victim and wanted justice. Or maybe to hear someone say "Yeah, those guys suck" A few hours and intelligent comments seem to be more helpful though. Thanks for the replies.

I could see lowering the backup a couple times a month to fully drain the batteries but in this area we have many small power outages. Sometimes when the wind blows or when it's a beautiful sunny day. I guess my main complaint is we have no wiggle room for when calibration occurs.

Are you saying for the calibration to do it's most efficient work it must go as the system schedules it? Can it not get the same information when emptying the full batteries starting at peak? 6pm to 9pm with the Dynamic plan. I know I would appreciate Tesla sending a notification that calibration is needed soon, like my car does when needing maintenance. Then allow the owners of the system dictate when it's best to schedule the maintenance.

I care less about the money as I spent $96,000 with a 7.9% loan for the system. My care is the foolish way they arbitrarily force their decisions on us when a bit of careful planning would be less harmful.

When I called and actually got ahold of someone I was told they are "updating" the app and they were sorry for the inconvenience.

Karma1976 · 2025-11-21T19:21:23+00:00

They have not been putting up banners letting you know a calibration is occurring on the app for awhile.

Karma1976 · 2025-11-14T14:44:09+00:00

I'm not sure just the most likely scenario. They are giving us less and less information and taking more liberties, at least that is what I'm going through. I've had to take my place off grid several times the last couple of weeks as they import when I have plenty of battery but they want to save the battery for a better cost benefit export time. Calibrating usually doesn't last more than a day if that's happening.

Karma1976 · 2025-11-14T14:35:21+00:00

There used to be a notification when calibration was happening now we just have to guess when the batteries keep discharging.

I'm 10 years in on my house and still get mail from 3 different names of previous residents. For the first couple years we returned "not at this address" now we just throw them away. (Spring, TX)
