I've recently purchase a model Y long range and loving it. A question re solar and charging. I have an old solar panel system without batteries which produces 3.7kw max on a sunny day. I have a Tesla gen3 wall charger and the 13 amp mobile charger. I take it I would be better (if not using the car) using the 13amp charger all day to really benefit from the solar (when good sun)? Just about to start an day tariff 28p and night 17p.

You can use your normal charger and just reduce the amps to about 12amps from your Tesla app charging settings (or from the car itself). This means it will only be drawing about 3kwh and not using much from the grid while the sun is shining.
