Thanks for watching! I always prefer Tesla service over any other shop. We paid good money for the best vehicle out there, so why risk any damage, mistakes, or shortcuts from a free service?

Thanks for watching! Yes all plastic except for the small metal display rod.

Thanks for watching and sharing your wonderful excitement for EVs! Please entertain me with why a hybrid is better? Have you even been inside a Tesla? Don't tell me a hybrid is better because you can stop at a gas station? Ha! Enjoy the 20 miles of battery range in your hybrid.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel I don’t think JJ is well. Probabaly a bot, or typical jealous little puzz-y who thinks his idiocy is relevant. Toddle off clown. Hybrids are awesome, but let’s not get silly thinking they are at Tesla’s level.

@TeslaFamilyChannel Certainly I will explain why Hybrids are better than Tesla. Let me explain, Like my van, that is Hybrid, I get 36-40 miles per gallon, the battery on Hybrid gets its charge through regenerative brakes on wheel and engine so I don't have to worry about charging it while the car charges the battery. I understand that you like EVs a lot that you don't have to do maintenance on and I'm just saying the real downside of owning a Tesla is because the real down fall of owning a Tesla is the battery same thing with the Hybrid, but Hybrid batteries are somewhat cheaper to replace Vs. Tesla battery that you have to spend $22,000 on average just to replace a battery on a Tesla so the biggest looser is the Tesla because batteries are more expensive to replace Vs. a Hybrid vehicle that is somewhat cheaper to replace the battery

@TeslaFamilyChannel And also, I don't get 20 miles of range on my Hybrid, I get 36-40 miles per gallon and the battery gets charged through the engine and wheels through regenerative brakes, so before you trash my opinion about Hybrids, well read this comment and think again

@@jjcacnio3601 the battery in a Tesla is more expensive because it’s bigger, but it also lasts significantly longer due to better cycle life and battery management than a hybrid. Hybrids are ok for some people, but the battery is NOT the issue in a Tesla, since replacements are exceedingly rare. And if you were honest, you would apply your illogic to all EVs, but since you know nothing, you target the best EV made since you a jealous. It’s so obvious. Also, use periods and proper grammar in your sentences, you sound like a rambling child. A hybrids maintenance plan is far worse than even the worst EVs. 🤦🤣

Thanks for watching! Hopefully prices will come down for you across the pond.

Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear about the accident involving your Model Y. I am interested in hearing how everything works out with having to use your Tesla Insurance because I also now use them.

Thanks for watching! 99% is great, try to look closely at the individual graphs on your Tesla app for a day which you were 99% self-powered. See where that 1% is occurring. You should be able to find a slight spike on the grid import then you need to pin down what caused you to have to import.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel ​ Hi many thanks for your quick answer , i only have a 4kw solar system but as i get paid more to use than export its a sunny day so ive plugged the car in put the washing machine on and running a 1kw heater and i can see on the app 1whatt is going to the grid , this often happens but my Hyundai Kona says its getting 2,5kw and the Zappi charger says nothing is going to the grid , i dont know how accurate the Tesla app is , im happy but its a bit confusing. im getting a heat pump soon with Air to Air heating so i can have the gas removed . over here we have a standing charge just to have a meter even if using no gas at all , that over £100 a year . right now im at max solar 4kw mid day 3.9kw to the house and 2 Watts to the grid Ediit its just stopped going to the grid an im getting 4 kw from solar and 4 to the house none to the grid , Edit i was going to get another Powerwall i paid £7.500 but they are over 12k now , maybe the V2 i have might come down now the V3 is here .

@@rodden1953 this sounds kind of like my SRECs but I get paid for them whether I use them or push them to the grid. To get 100% self powered, try this experiment. On a sunny day, try to use as little power as possible and allow the excess to go to the grid. That should definitely put you at 100%. Or you could add a Powerwall to store your excess and remove any lingering need to use the grid.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel Funnily enough for a long time after i had the Powerwall i did send most back untill i looked at my payment its like 15 pence for consumption and 5 pence for export its index linked so its about 25p now . This Torey government stopped it a few years ago , my electric company are really green and pay more to export now but im not sure if go with that i might loose the one im on that is guaranteed for 20 years , a friend of mine got solar years ago and he still gets 50 pence that over £800 a year . i will be glad to get rid of the gas soon . the whole thing is a mess with this government holding back on renewable energy.

Thanks for watching! Glad I could help. I think the only advantage to the backpack blower is that it takes the weight off your arm.

Thanks for watching! I haven't actually timed the charge. It's not a fast charger so I'm gonna say a few hours but I've never run out of charge in the middle of a project. I just try and put it on the charger when I am finished.

Thanks for watching and sharing your solar eclipse experience in Phoenix! Interesting that your -8kW dip from 12kW (~66%) is proportional to your ~65% sun obscuration!

Feel free to share any of your photos/app screen grabs on my FB or X accounts.

Thanks for watching! Glad you're all fixed up now!

Thanks for watching! Yes, definitely pricey.

Thanks for watching! That SpaceX branding is pricey 👍🏻

Thanks for watching! Please share some recommendations 👍🏻

Thanks for watching! I agree 100%!

What you need to replace the system depends on what is actually broken and what is working and whether or not the working components are still compatible with new components. A lot can and will change in 10 years. Here is the warranty information straight from Tesla. digitalassets.tesla.com/tesla-contents/image/upload/Powerwall_Warranty_US-EN.pdf

Thanks for watching! Have you driven/ridden in a Tesla? Full glass roof is like riding in a spaceship. So cool to look up as a passenger and see the world moving by above you. The frame structure of a Tesla is super strong.

@@TeslaFamilyChannelI don’t think your supposed to be looking up when driving.

@@honestnewsnet correct, that's why I noted "as a passenger". Try a Tesla, so much fun!

Tesla wants $1,550.00 usd

Thanks for watching! I always suggest to have Tesla do the work but let your insurance company know. $0 glass deductible is great!

Thanks for watching! The SREC is generated at the beginning of the next month. So if you enter generation data for April today, that SREC will be available to sell on June 1 in GATS.

Thanks for watching! I don't think the glass is any different than other manufacturers. Likely just bad luck.

Thanks for watching! I agree!

Thanks for watching! Congrats on making the decision to order! You'll love adding this to your home.

Thanks for watching! With Powerwall version 2 it used to be up to 10 but now with version 3 they are scalable. Up to 3 per "system" but you can add multiple systems to your home if you wish. I have a new video about Powerwall 3 here: th-cam.com/video/DUO5eeir4sI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=az11THZyOTchMnIs

Thanks for watching! Heck yeah!

Thanks for watching! I haven't tested them separately but my educated guess would be more range drop with FrontLoader because with both wheels on a bike, the bike sits higher on the roof and causes more drag. When I don't have to carry three bikes, my two HighSpeeds are my go-to setup.

Also here is a short video I did with two bikes in HighSpeed racks mounted to my Model 3. About 10% range loss. th-cam.com/users/shortsAZKjeKHq4kQ?si=OXXmUE2NoZdgQXcO

Thanks for watching! What is your comment in reference too? I have shared many videos of my solar production on my channel which is factual data.

Thanks for watching and for sharing your solar system!

Curious why he took off the solar

@@Prince-fr2lr he paid cash for the panels

Thanks for watching! Sorry for the delayed reply. If you are filing electronically using an online tax service, they should offer this form as an attachment.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! If you have Tesla solar then def a yes, unsure about other solar and wind.

Thanks for watching and sharing the Diono that you are using! My daughter is 8.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel Thank you for the great video and for protecting your daughter by putting her in a good car seat. I know some people who's 8 year olds dont use any car seat at all and even one who rides up front, it's scary! It is reassuring to see parents like you who understand the importance of using the right car seat. Your doing great mama, keep that kiddo safe! ♥️

@@user-rd3co1sk1h Thanks for the kind comments!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

No two Powerwalls would not be enough to cover your usage. You'd need 4 to cover your usage if you only wanted to charge from Powerwall but I suggest charging from the grid on a Time of Use electric plan when electricity is cheapest or just using the Charge from Solar feature from Tesla if you have a large solar array. Powerwalls are a great home backup but not large enough (unless you have many of them) to be used regularly for large EV charges.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! If you have a CyberBeast then that includes installation of the universal wall connector which I think is all you need for the home backup capability. Powerwall does this without having to have your CT connected to your home.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel Thank you. I was looking for a electrical backup during inclement weather, which is rather rare here.

@@robkeshav800 the best move for electrical backup during inclement weather is 100% adding Powerwall/s. Storm Watch is a nice feature that ensures your Powerwall is ready to back you up when the weather takes down the grid.

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah the longest part of the install is the running of the wires and conduit between the PW and Panel.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel After watching your videos, I think for simplicity's sake I'll install all four PWs next to the meter and main panel. I don't want any holes in my ceiling or mismatched paint. They'll be installed indoors in the dinning room. Are the PW fans loud? Noticable? Do the PWs give off enough heat to make the AC run more often? I appreciate your insights.

@@Constitution1789 with my PW in the garage I haven't really made a point to listen to it other than when Im working on a project. It's not much louder than a refrigerator or computer fan. With no fan running it's sounds like a light heartbeat.

Thanks for watching! That's a great question for a Tesla Energy Advisor and depends on your local building codes. Here in MD, I have mine inside my garage but I'm unsure if you can put them inside the living space of a home. They are rated for up to 122F outside.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel Is your main service panel in the garage? I have a main service panel that's over sixty feet away from my garage. But the subpanel is in my garage. I could put the batteries in there if the batteries don't need to be next to the main service panel or meter.

@@Constitution1789 No Main Service Panel is in the basement.

And my PW is separated from the main panel. So Tesla can run the conduit between your main panel and wherever your PWs are installed.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel Interesting. I'll use your code when I get the PWs. 👍

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with Tesla Insurance! Are you saving money verses what it would cost you to insure your car with another company? FCWs are very sensitive. The car is always calculating your speed and distance from a vehicle in front of you, along with that other vehicles speed and the difference. If you are both going a similar speed that speed difference is very small but if the vehicle in front applies the brakes and it takes you several seconds to respond then it usually throws an FCW. Best way to avoid those is to drive in autopilot/FSD as much as you can. I drive alot in FSD and still get FCWs the times that I am manually driving. It is dinging my score but also helping to keep me alert.

@@TeslaFamilyChannel the cost has been mostly similar or a few dollars less compared to the annual quote that I got from Progressive before I took delivery last November. They quoted me something like $1,680 for the year and my Tesla Insurance payments have been hovering between $129 and $140 per month. An outlier to this was January when it spiked up to $220 due to an unusually high amount of driving combined with a relatively low driving score. Since I took delivery a couple of days before Thanksgiving and drove out of state twice in a period of 30 days, Tesla Insurance figured that I am on pace for 25,000 miles annually. Combined with the fact that they dropped me from the initial score of 90 to an 87, my initial rate went up from the initial $137 to the $220. I quickly understood the factors that they use to score your driving and raised my score back up to 96. Also, over the last 2 months I managed to lower the average annual mileage down to 12,000 and that has helped to reduce my monthly cost drop to $130. It should get even lower once I reach my annual mileage target of 10 K miles which is also what my lease is for, as long as I can keep my driving score at about 95 or higher.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, insurance is no fun to pay for so I'm glad that I found a lower rate based on my good driving behavior with Tesla. FSD is still work in progress. Hopefully version 12 will smooth out some of the small errors that I continue to see in V11.

Thanks for watching! I am also looking to get CyberTruck when the non-Foundation Series is available to order. I plan to make a follow up video when I get CyberTruck to show how much it costs to insure through Tesla and how my overall rate changed compared to this video.

Thanks for watching! Getting close, Minnesota just across the border 👍🏻

Thanks for watching and sharing this insight! I still think the FCWs are a little extra sensitive but you're right most of the time it's my wife or I following to closely in heavy non-highway traffic when they pop up. FSD is the way! Also thanks for sharing that data point on your cost out in Detroit.

Thanks for watching! Actually it's not a significant change to my driving behavior. Using FSD 90% of the time and feel much safer knowing nine cameras and the FSD computer are working together to get me and my family to our destination safely while also saving over $75 a month.

To be honest, Safety Score has helped me become a more safe driver when not in FSD. The safety score metrics are very reasonable and I think all insurance companies should go this route.

It’s not big brother. If you’re an unsafe driver, you should pay relative to your actual risk profile. If you owned an insurance company, you’d want to know who you’re unsafe drivers are too. It’s not fair to the rest of us with a brain to be charged for the a-holes who blow the risk averages out of the water. Tesla, unlike all the other insurance companies, shows you exactly how they judge you, how all the calculations work and what is affecting them. Try using your brain and life becomes more rewarding.

@@MDC_1985 Thanks for the support!

Thanks for watching! On the phone and via email they are usually really good. Email replies are usually on the slow side though.

Thanks for watching! I'm not sure your exact situation with your utility but I started with just Tesla Solar panels and added a Powerwall 15 months later. That did not impact my net metering here in Maryland. I can still push and pull excess from the grid when not sending it to my PW or my Model 3.

No, it will not. You get bumped only if you add more than 1kw or 10% of the arrays rated generation capacity. However, as panels lose efficiency you can add more. For example, if you installed 10 kw system, you can add 1kw for a total of 11. But, if your system is actually only producing 9kw you can add 2 more. Just add the battery first, so you get a good idea about your generation cap. You can always add to your array in the future.

Thanks for watching! Yes, Powerwall instantly kicks in to provide backup power the moment an outage is detected. The only way you know there is an outage in your area is by seeing no lights on at any of your neighbors homes!
