Browsing the "top" posts of r/TeslaSolar, you start to get an idea for how much of a pain in the ass is to deal with the company once things go pear shaped.
I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not that Tesla engineers didn't stress test their system by putting like, 50 Powerwalls on a string and seeing if the system could handle it.
If it can't handle 10 batteries and can't handle updates without backup from the grid, why did they make/sell this setup? Two controllers with ~5 batteries would make a situation where one is active/normal and the other is being the grid so the reliability would be the same as whatever they promise everyone else.. Similarly, he doesn't actually need to be off the grid, his connection just doesn't meet his peak usage so the level of chaos seems to be just to be able to say this is an off grid setup?
Maybe this could have been simulated purely in software. Not sure.
I think devs voted to get rid of them because it was often QA and Product ganging up on Dev, but if you’ve never experienced Dev and QA ganging up on Product, you’ve missed out.
Getting rid of QA meant that Product cannot be outvoted except by a walkout. It’s part of why I’m not as loud about DevOps becoming its own business unit. At least it’s 2 against 1 again.
