Solar and Energy Value

While we expect these values to be fairly accurate, all values presented in the Tesla app are estimates, not guarantees. These values may vary from other calculations, such as those in your utility bill, for several reasons. These may include factors like aggregation, taxes and local fees, meter inaccuracies, data gaps, energy usage, non-bypassable charges, transmission or service fees, rounding, etc.

Changing your rate plan in the Tesla app does not change your rate plan with your utility. Contact your utility if you wish to switch to a new rate. Similarly, switching your rate plan with your utility does not automatically update the rate plan in your Tesla app. You may change rates in the Tesla app at any time.

You can edit your rate plan in-app to estimate potential value changes when you change your rate plan with your utility. Some utility rates available to select in-app may have additional qualifications that your utility requires, such as EV or medical rates. Remember to return to your original settings afterward.

Some rate plans use baseline or tiered rate elements. Tesla does not support rate plans with these elements at this time. As part of getting solar, your utility may have changed your rate plan from a fixed rate or tiered rate to a time-of-use rate plan — confirming your rate with your utility is recommended.

These features are being released on a routine basis as we monitor performance and make adjustments to improve accuracy. As with other software updates, availability of these app features may vary, with a phased user rollout.
