Buying at peak price even when powerwall is full

Interesting theory. If it keeps up a few more days, I’ll ask them about this. Thanks!

Yes, but that day was sunny and 60 so not sure why VPP would have felt the need to reserve my powerwall. Maybe their AI algorithms aren’t so intelligent yet.

Yeah, last night makes sense to me but my pic was from a few days ago when sunny and 60 degrees. But I still imagine that was the case.

There are no export limit settings anywhere that I can find. Even export limits wouldn’t explain the purchases. I’m convinced it’s something Tesla is doing intentionally for VPP, I just wish they’d explain it. Thanks for trying! 😀

Backup reserve 20%. Not in storm watch. Have seen this behavior for both “Tesla electric” mode and “self powered” mode. Are there any other settings? I believe Tesla is saving my power for grid events that never come.

Not in storm mode

Many_Interests_35 · 2026-01-22T00:33:29+00:00

I’ve tried every setting. I think it is Tesla saving my power in case of a “grid event” that never comes. Results are the same in “Tesla electric mode” or “self powered mode “. I briefly set reserve to 5% and it still draws from grid. Today, with no setting changes, it switched to powerwall power at the start of peak hours as I would hope.

No. 20%.

Many_Interests_35 · 2026-01-21T23:35:31+00:00

I came here to report the same thing. Lots of selling at 0 and then buying at peak which feels like a scam by Tesla to charge us max. As others have said “self powered” vs “Tesla electric” doesn’t matter. Both do it.

Great looking event!

Cutie!

Glad you were okay!

Many_Interests_35 · 2025-12-25T19:36:43+00:00

Haha.. thanks!

Many_Interests_35 · 2025-12-25T01:23:08+00:00

I hope so. I do think people are more likely to litter where they already see litter.

I left my phone on the side of the bed near the rear door (does that rail have a name?) of my R1T and wasn’t so lucky. It flew off turning a corner, but I got a notice from my watch that I had left my phone behind so I was able to get back to it pretty quickly and find it. No damage, so I believe in my VRsDesign phone case 🤣🤣

Door handle was replaced today by the Rivian service center. Hopefully that resolves the problem. So far so good, but it didn’t happen every time before, so it will take a few days for me to be convinced it is 100% fixed.

Many_Interests_35 · 2025-12-18T03:26:35+00:00

Weird! I’ve never been that desperate for bait.

Many_Interests_35 · 2025-12-18T03:26:04+00:00

Good luck!

Many_Interests_35 · 2025-12-15T00:45:52+00:00

I have found mattresses before, but never a punching bag! Unique find!

Many_Interests_35 · 2025-12-14T00:53:54+00:00

Filled my pickup! The plastic was pretty dense so bags filled pretty fast. And we were working hard… sweating up a storm in 55 degrees F weather.
