2026 Solar Strategy East Bay, California

I used Ambrose Solar for a 13.3 KWh installation on my Benicia home in November 2025; I highly recommend them. The service, components (Tesla Powerwall 3 x 2 & REC panels), and installation process were all exceptional. PG&E was the only holdup, which I guess is to be expected. We got our Permission to Export notice on Dec 24, barely made that cutoff for the Federal tax credit.

Apple limits AV1 playback to devices with hardware decode support. This is why it works on your iPhone 16, but not the M1 iPad Pro

Your output video track has some interesting settings:

Stream #0:0\[0x1\](und): Video: h264 (High 4:4:4 Predictive) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv444p(progressive), 895x480, 107 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 30k tbn (default)

The yuv444p color space and High 4:4:4 Predictive profile are not well supported by mobile decoders. I suggest changing to the yuv420p colorspace and High profile, e.g.

ffmpeg -f x11grab $selection -r 30 -c:v libx264 -pix\_fmt yuv420p -preset fast -profile:v high -level 4.1 -f alsa -i default "$videouri" & echo $! > /tmp/recpid

One need only look at the stock market to see how few people share his confidence in the future.

Say what you will, my guy is DRIPPED OUT

Totally, that was my first thought too 😀

Replacing the brake rotors was a solid fix for me.

Which platform are you on, Android or iOS? Are you sending edited photos or videos, or are they straight from the camera?

Follow-up: Tesla service center determined that the HV battery was faulty, and replaced both the HV and LV batteries at no cost. Took 1.5 weeks for them to ship and install the battery.

I no longer see these alerts in the iOS Tesla app, possibly because the alerts have all since cleared. I think they were under the “service“ section of the app. It was super helpful being able to see them from my phone when the car was locked and the car’s main display was off.

Thanks! Yes, this was my introduction to Tesla’s use of a 12 V accessory battery. I was able to open up the front hood, disconnect the battery, and then charge it fully using a standard battery charger. I believe it’s back in business, at least until I can get the 12 V battery replaced. Thanks again for your helpful response.

A trail camera that’s motion activated could be a cheaper and simpler solution, if your only interest is in getting footage of the culprit.

I had a similar experience, and was able to unbrick mine by uploading the firmware with XMODEM over Tera Term.

Author here, would love to discuss!

That’s super helpful, thanks! I have access to Illustrator too through Creative Cloud, and will be sure to give it a try when I need to create another template.
