Tesla Powerwalls recalled today: https://www.reuters.com/business/aut...sk-2025-11-13/

I'm sure you're not affected, it was just the timing.

Congrats!

 

Haha should be fine. They are leased

 

congrats! that's some unusual metal conduit going around the corner outside the gutter.
there's a lot going on out there.

my solar system and batteries should (fingers crossed) be installed by year end.

 

Around that corner is the main panel and the inverter, and second Tesla wall. He probably didn't want to remove the gutter, and I don't blame him.

Although you won't be saving much money, it's pretty exciting to know your house and cars will be primarily powered by the sun

 

Yeah I wouldn’t have accepted that setup, personally. Removing the downspout is not hard, and he would have just had to pull it out from the wall 1.5 inches or so and it would have gone over the top of the conduit and been neater looking.

I see contractors who do **** like that all the time. Drives me nuts.

 

plan is for my batteries to all be in my garage.



oh and that old gas chainsaw is outa here, replaced by the one with the green blade you can just see... MONSTER electric chainsaw, works great.

 

Man, you have become Mr. Green . I would have liked to put the batteries in the garage, but ours is detached and to far away from the meter and inverter. These were the only two places the permit would allow

 

about the electric chainsaw… i’m done with almost dislocating my shoulder from 2 stroke engine pull starts and their challenges.

 

Electric yard tools are so much better.

 

😆😆 My friend was same way. He too switched to battery.

I bought all 4 stroke 🙃 1-2 pulls and she fires up.

Whats a power wall?

 

a tesla 13.6kWh battery that can get charged from grid or solar, and then power some or all of the house when needed.

my system will use another brand (ex tesla engineers) called franklinwh. slightly bigger capacity (15kwh), but a lot of smarts on their 'controller'. i'm getting 3 of those.

 

^^ Basically this ^^ It will kick in during peak times when our electricity provider charges nearly .70 cents a kWh and pays pennies for solar power sent back to the grid. Instead of power I've generated going back to the grid, it will be stored in the batteries for later use. Also, it can power my house in case of a power outage. At night it will power my house and will be able to charge one of my cars

 

What???

 

Toyota battery factory is online stateside, great way to increase capacity for all their electrified powertrains.

 

That's insane. Should be criminal.
