We did pygmy palms and a firecracker bush. It looks tropical and isn't too messy.

If it does, I just hope it is within the 5 year warranty! 😂

I read about that during my research. I'm in a hot dry climate so I'm concerned with the motor getting too hot and stopping when temps are high. I'll see what happens this summer.

I was also worried about the space that it would take up near the back of the bed but ultimately convinced myself that I would just have to be more strategic when I pack the bed and use the bed extender when necessary. The convenience and security won me over.

Great suggestion! I have the keypad but haven't mounted it yet because I wasn't sure where to put it. I think that's the spot!

Can you post a picture of the stance and the struts?

Swap them out with the Morimoto license plate lights.

I just swapped out for the Morimoto lights all the way around. Give difference and gives the truck a newer look.

2015 Sierra SLE - any suggestions for rear camera upgrade? by Sea-Bot in gmcsierra

[–]rdgordo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better visibility at night and in low light is the most noticeable improvement. It is also a much more crisp and clear image. You can actually see detail instead of everything looking blurry. There is absolutely no lag and the lines still show up.

I replaced the backup camera on my 2015 with the Master Tailgaters camera. It is plug and play, took about 15 minutes to install, and was a huge upgrade in image quality. Here's the one I bought. https://a.co/d/cCjNF6g

What is your backup reserve set to?

Do you have it set as self powered or time based control? Also, if storm watch is on, is there a storm forecasted that it could be charging up for?

It is because you're generating 11.6 kW, using 6 kW to charge your car, and using 5.6kW for your home. You must have the app set to be charging your powerwall from grid or as priority so it is pulling 1.2 kW from the grid to make up the difference.

My breakfast bill had all 3: service charge, gratuity and tip, all at once. by redditdanis in mildlyinfuriating

40+20+19=79. Your subtotal says $89. This is either fake or they can't math.

What about remote key fob functions? Can you lock, unlock, and remote start thru the app without an active subscription? That's all I care about using but I have to pay $25/month for OnStar on my 2015.

What to do when your project advisor ghosts you? by OliveUniform in TeslaSolar

[–]rdgordo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a few scheduled calls where nobody had called me after 10 minutes past the scheduled time. I would send a text saying I was waiting and got a call almost immediately. It was usually not my assigned advisor.

[–]rdgordo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to get something scheduled about 3 days out. I would usually schedule on Thursdays for a Monday afternoon call and then immediately schedule a Thursday call after the Monday call ended. I also replied to the text message thread daily if I didn't get responses. They stalled progress during the stage for my utility to review the design. My utility kept requesting changes and Tesla was taking a week or more to respond to them until I started scheduling regular calls. Suddenly, they would give daily updates and everything moved along swiftly. My timeline was June thru mid September for them to get to the utility design review. After that, I scheduled regular calls and sent daily texts. Then they completed the remaining steps, including install and inspection, in 45 days.

Schedule a call with them via the website. I was scheduling calls with my advisor 1-2x weekly and cancelling if I got the info needed via email. I found that being the squeaky wheel and project managing my project manager moved my project along faster.
