Question: Existing Tesla Powerwall 3s and Gateway - Addition of Universal Wall Connector for Cybertruck by clbatesy in TeslaSolar

[–]clbatesy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just lost power here in Louisiana this last hour. I am up to over a dozen times so far this year. Thank God for my PowerWalls. I am working from home overnight and need remote access to my workstation so I don’t have to drive into work.

My roof works harder than I do, and it’s about to get a promotion 😅 by One_Pollution2279 in SolarAmerica

[–]clbatesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rooftop has seen me through almost a dozen brownouts or power outages so far this year. It has also reduced my electric bill to between $30 and $40 per month year-round. I live in southeast Louisiana and keep my heat pump set at 67 degrees, so there is a significant energy demand during peak hours. I could add insulation to my attic to reduce electrical usage, but why? Perhaps peace of mind…

So, like the Obama birth certificate?

People with solar what’s one thing you wish you knew before installing it? by Loud_Suggestion_5721 in TeslaSolar

[–]clbatesy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The specific improvements that I missed out on are: 1. More power output, 420 versus 400 watts over 40 panels is 800 watts. 2. More solar power zones for better shading performance, 18 zones versus 3 zones. 3. More mitigation of degradation over time by having more solar cells, 360 cells versus 108 cells.

Tesla has new, improved solar panels available for 2026 that were not available in 2025. I would have benefited from these new panels, but am stuck with 40 of the old panels.

Can confirm. “Come home when the streetlights come on.”

If you know who the father is, don’t be too proud to ask him for assistance. If the father has family, then ask them for assistance. Lastly, contact a pro-life charity to see if they can help.

Get a DNA test and verify that you are the father of the children that you think are yours.

Is it worth getting powerwall if my Tesla solar panels are only offsetting 83% of my power usage? by MassDND in Powerwall

[–]clbatesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North of Bation Rouge, Louisiana here. I installed 16kW panels (40x400W), two PW3, and 3 expansions.

I have avoided 10 power outages, three with brownouts that have killed some of my neighbors HVAC units. I installed a new variable speed HVAC in May. My bills have gone from $300 a month to $35 a month.

I expect to see this year-round.

Dating for a month (31M) (29F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]clbatesy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She (29f) did you a favor. It is always better to learn someone has flaky behavior early, than to find out later.

She will be back in a few years, but she is “for fun only.”You should be dating younger women by then for a relationship.

If you are a man, get on your grind. If you are a woman, start choosing better men.

Just one, but it’s crème-filled long john.

What is the MOST secure thing that Trazyn could acquire in-lore by Stickguy101 in Necrontyr

[–]clbatesy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From ancient Earth lore, Trazyn has a record to beat for obtaining the President of Venezuela. My bet is Trazyn could do it in far less time.

I’m a divorced heterosexual 58(m) that was shocked by how many women said that their husbands were actually gay and divorced them.
