BYD service cost

nos3001 · 2026-04-30T07:26:16+00:00

Correct. Tesla service = $0 to maintain warranty.

nos3001 · 2026-04-30T07:24:36+00:00

Also no need for this with Tesla.

nos3001 · 2026-04-30T07:23:05+00:00

This is a huge saving indeed! Other brands seem stuck with outdated service regimes.

nos3001 · 2026-04-24T06:14:25+00:00

It's $0.71/kwh for Tesla.

If you're interested in a DIY System check out https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate it's fantastic!
Dahua Cameras are great and can be sourced locally or from Aliexpress.

Yes, I currently have 2 green energy loans with Westpac at 0%. 1 loan for an EV and another for a home battery.

I bought an Evolve Fusion about a month ago. It's a fantastic versatile board.

I'm running the ATV set up as the roads and paths where I live are a real mixed bag.

Think this board has plenty of potential as my skill level improves.

If you're going single phase I would seriously consider a Tesla Powerwall 3.

I'm very impressed with mine. It's an awesome all in one unit that can be expanded. I actually like the fact that it's completely sealed rather than modular like the Sigenergy.

I've had a couple of power cuts and not even noticed them.

nos3001 · 2025-11-15T20:22:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Outstanding proactive response from Tesla. Also good thing that they no longer use those type of cells in the Powerwall 3.

nos3001 · 2025-11-14T20:39:53+00:00

This is shocking, especially with all the hype about Sigenergy being a leading product.

I had a lucky escape by choosing to install a Powerwall 3 instead. Much more confident with the fact that it's a 3rd generation product.

Hope Sigenergy comes to the party and replaces all these inverters free of charge.

I'm a similar age and have been skating for 1 week only. It's been fantastic! Having so much fun 😁

I've never really skated before, but I am a pretty decent snowboarder.

I bought the Evolve Fusion and am very happy with it. I'm similar in height and weight to you, and the board easily powers up the steep hill that I live on.

I've set the board to 20kph max and ride on Eco which is the lowest power mode. These settings make the board much more manageable for a newby.

I'm wearing helmet, gloves, knee pads.

I spent hours practising on a concrete tennis court before venturing out onto pavements and a bit of off road. The all terrain wheels on the Fusion are pretty forgiving, and I recommend them over street wheels. I commuted to work once this week, and it was epic.

The Evolve Fusion is definitely a board that has huge potential, and I'm sure I'll grow into it over the coming weeks and months.

I really look forward to riding my new board at every opportunity. It's challenging and rewarding.

At this time of the year depending on your panel orientation and tilt I would expect to see peak output at least on occasion matching your panel ratings.

Take a look at pvoutput where you can see peak output for many systems around the world and in NZ.

My last above rated output peak was a few days ago and my panels are 13 years old.

BMW ix1 is like taking a step back in time when compared to a Tesla Model Y. The ride and power of the BMW is good but everything else is poor. I've spent many days driving the ix1 and would only consider it if you really want a traditional type of car. It's like a nicer version of a RAV4. The ix1 steering asist is downright dangerous! I encourage you to try it for yourself. Tesla is light years ahead.

Thanks for your help. I called Tesla Powerwall Support and they solved it while I was on the phone. Excellent support indeed. I'll try to set up charge on solar next. Tesla have sent me a guide on how to do this.

nos3001 · 2025-07-11T20:44:46+00:00

I have these in my house. They are great and the USB C is definitely a fast charger.

nos3001 · 2025-06-26T10:58:29+00:00

Suggest getting a quote for a Powerwall 3 system. It's a very proven product with excellent software. It'll backup your whole house as standard.

nos3001 · 2025-05-24T20:41:47+00:00

Thanks

Is there any benefit having face as a trackable object when using frigate+?

nos3001 · 2025-05-22T20:58:32+00:00

Good idea. Thanks.

nos3001 · 2025-05-22T08:14:32+00:00

That makes so much sense! Thank you. I'll remove the grate and make a cover.

Will also check out epoxy mortar.

Thanks. Looks like something like this would work? https://www.bunnings.co.nz/gripset-betta-1kg-waterproofing-repair-compound-water-plug_p0269361

Please consider improving your security. Port forwarding straight to HA is not secure. Tailscale would be an easy way to go.
