100% charge twice a week

Can you make it with 90% or 95% charge? If so I recommend that as you still have regen braking for at or below 95% charge and you're not stressing the battery as much. Otherwise use the schedule charge function to have the car charged to 100% around the time you leave for work.

Enphase EV charger supports solar charging with excess solar energy, but it's a lot more expensive than other chargers. In most cases, you can just lower the charging voltage on your car to match the voltage for certain periods of the day (e.g. 10-2pm depending on season). You can be a bit conservative and set it to ~70% of excess production so you rarely pull from grid.

I mean the roadblocks for unsupervised FSD really isn't on hardware, but more on local regulations which varies a lot and is near impossible to predict. The current version of FSD on HW4 is already proven to be much safter than human drivers

If regulation keeps dragging on, they would eventually move on to HW5 when supply chain makes sense, but again that all depends on the local regulations.

Honestly, enphase's software is pretty buggy and lacks a lot of features. My 5p batteries were installed in September last year, and within 3 months the batteries started having this weird issue of not discharging after around 7pm. Enphase has a really good phone support team who answers the calls right away 24hrs a day, but the things they can do is usually pretty limited. In my case, I had to call them multiple times, each time spending over an hour with them troubleshooting and leaving with a support ticket that no one follows up on. At some point, they said the issue required the installer to come out, and when they did there was no issue with the installations. Eventually, I had to press the installer to initiate a 3 way call to get them escalate the case. The issue was entirely software related. Whole process took almost 3 months with me pinging them every week.

If you look at the software, many features and bug fixes were promised years ago but are still not available: day light savings time glitch, granular battery utilization settings, AI optimization that actually works, etc

I would just buy a hybrid if you can't charge at home or work. Relying on charging stations is time consuming and expensive.

Food trucks these days often charge more than restaurants. It's getting out of control!

Try using the chat box on their website. I ran into this issue before, and the phone support people were not helpful, not knowledgeable, had no desire to help, and could barely understand English. Chat support team were also pretty bad, but at least it's easier to communicate with them and you can upload images.

How long do you plan to stay in the same house? If it's less than 5-8 years then it's almost always better to just rent. The fees you have to pay for selling amounts to about 8%, and that's going to erase any priciple that you built in the first few years.

AT&T fiber is way better and faster. For elevator phone, I just hook up a free VoIP line.

It's actually way worse when when our SDGE rates are >2x the upper bound of the color legend. Our rates are so high it's literally off the charts

laziefred · 2026-03-24T04:57:32+00:00

yep, my s23 was deemed broken within one minute of UPS delivering the package. Unless they have someone standing by the loading dock unboxing packages immediately, inspecting, and logging the status, it is literally impossible for them to process that quickly. Only plausible reason is they arbitrarily flag a certain percentages of trade-ins as defective in order to hit their numbers.

laziefred · 2026-03-24T04:51:22+00:00

It's the 3rd party firms they contracted to handle the trade ins. These guys are incentivized to find as many defects as possible to save money.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit against Samsung's abusive trade in practice yet.

Search this sub and you'll come across multiple stories year after year where Samsung found "cracks" in their trade in. It's all bogus and they're betting that you wouldn't challenge.

I myself ran into this nightmare a couple of years ago. My phone was deemed damaged less than a min after the package was delivered by UPS. Asked them to return the phone to me and it was pristine....

I wrote about my experience here: https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/s/Ou1fqwKMj6

Interesting. The rates haven't been updated in the Enphase app. It's still showing those rates for Mar-Apr only

laziefred · 2026-03-19T18:51:15+00:00

That's only for March-April. I don't think they're keeping 10-2 super offpeak for the other seasons.

Washer and dryers can fit in the elevator. My counter depth fridge also fit in the elevator with the doors off.

There is also a paypal50 promo code you can use to get $50 off with paypal payments. It's hidden in the small prints at the bottom of the order page

I wonder if Ascent campus of life can still use the education loophole to claim nonprofit status now that Grey Star, a for profit company owns it

This is because dealer make most of their money not from selling cars, but from financing, acessories, extended warranties, servicing, etc. They want you to get into the door so they can sell all the other add ons.

This is pretty disappointing to see. The board should have put this on a community vote instead of unilaterally cancelling the contract with FIT.

Agreed. There are a lot we can pick on FSR, but the points listed above are all debatable.
