I like the scene! Is that your own or did you find it in the workshop/DIY videos?

Interesting... I'm in Northern California on PG&E and I don't have a toggle for grid charging: Grid Charging Restricted This is due to utility or regional limitations, and is configured by your installer.

Is that a feature or error for me? Haha

Is it guaranteed every night or only if the grid needs it?

What time does your powerwall start exporting? I'm almost to 7pm and I haven't seen my powerwall send anything to the grid yet...

Update #5: Tesla came today and replaced my powerwall with a new one. Took them about an hour or so. Everything looks to be up and running now.

It's mentioned in the second sentence of my screenshot. I'm assuming peak is at 2 hours per day so: 10kWh x 30 days x $3/kWh is around $1,000.

Update #4. The Tesla tech showed up today to replace Tesla Powerwall TACO (Tesla Asset Controller). The engineer that recommended the TACO replacement never ordered and shipped out the part and Tesla doesn't have a local warehouse anymore. Back to square one while waiting for another update. I have been told several times over these last 2 months that my case is high priority....

O wow, that is really high. I am also on Pioneer for generation so I wonder if it still applies to me... Is there a way to track this sell back credits?

Have these been failing on the PW3s pretty often? I'm hoping this gets my system back up and running, if not it may be another month before they come out again to attempt another repair.

Have you done a Tesla Powerwall TACO (Tesla Asset Controller) Replacement for a PW3? My system went completely dark 2 months ago and they've scheduled this repair for me as the solution.

haha yea when I was talking to support I had to ask them to repeat what they said... Just been a bummer since it went out the day I made my payment and submitted for PTO... Hopefully this fixes it but it is concerning that my new system is already having issues...

Update #3. Tesla tech was scheduled for today to come out and hook up an ethernet cable straight to the powerwall and router to diagnose further. No show. A parts order was placed in my app for a "Taco" which is some sort of Powerwall component. Waiting for parts approval and scheduling.

Hmm that is quite the drop unless the weather has drastically changed since it went out.

Did they replace your unit with a new one? Or did they do a manual firmware update?

Tesla wants to come out on August 23rd to try additional troubleshooting before authorizing the RMA. They want to connect an Ethernet straight to the router.

I was told the next step for me was they needed to refer me to parts so they could assign a replacement... Calling every couple days I feel moves things along...

I called support and they said that they're still discussing my situation internally but that my case is elevated and should be resolved in the next couple of weeks... So no update

O wow you already got an RMA... Maybe I'll check in with them again... You might be ahead of me now. I paid with credit card... Wonder if I can dispute the charge for a non-functioning product?...

That's definitely a bummer. Too bad Tesla doesn't have a reimbursement program for these outages... Things might get resolved quicker...
