Got it makes sense! Thanks for sharing.

From the grid, In my case, I use on average 70kwH a day (averaged 1/1/23-12/31/23) which is a lot, but the house is a bit larger and I have a TON of electronics + 2 EVs. I guess this would give me about a day, but not really in practice since the truck couldn't power everything all at once. I...

Yeah not included on the AWD - so if this is important to a person, and I assume it would be for most because who doesn't want a home battery backup from their vehicle, it would cost around $4k extra (on top of $100k) to actually make use of the "included" powershare and universal connection...

That's not good in my case since the meter and panel are on the opposite side of my house than the garage where the now gen 2 wall connector is and would-be universal connector. I would have to run either a long wire for the gateway or for the universal connector, if I can't use the sub panel...

This is helpful. So, some of the conditions are for sure out of our control and the alternative is worthless to me. I had 3 referrals in the early days where the referral reward was just free supercharging miles. I used none. Bought a LR Model Y recently and would love Acceleration boost...

Got it - thanks for the detailed explanation. Very helpful. So the question is whether the $2600 of hardware + cost of Tesla certified install is worth the automated backup and slightly more output? Did I read here right that you cannot get your own electrician to install the power sharing...

Could you help me understand the difference between going with Tesla's inverter/wall connector vs. using the nema 14-50 directly? What is the amperage output difference and how would it work in practice. Power goes out, then what in both connection scenarios?
