First test of PowerShare gateway by installer didn’t go well…or smell good…it smoked as you can see in the video when powering the garage from CT, but the gateway didn’t start on fire and seems to run fine on grid power….but I’m not hooking up the truck to the wall connector again until I get a...

Almost had a fire today at initial test of newly installed PowerShare gateway. An awful smelling smoke started coming out of the gateway upon testing the backup function…power flowing from cybertruck caused the smoke you can see in the video (very first test by electrician during install)…the...

There are some video's on YouTube show this easy Truck to home power. If you know how to have a portable generator power your home using an interlock switch (or manual transfer switch) the truck can do the same in case of a power outage. See picture.

Got my Cybertruck a while back, had a new Universal Wall Connector installed. As I understand it I need also a PowerShare Gateway or Powerwall to be able to use PowerShare… Where I can purchase a PowerShare Gateway only? I only see the $2500 bundle from Tesla that includes the same charger I...

After a late June delivery, I'm still debating what to do on the home charger/PowerShare front and could really use some feedback/advice from owners more experienced in these matter than me (i.e., probably all of you). FACTS: I have a Foundation Series Beast, which entitles me to either: (a)...

I took delivery of my Cyberbeast in March. The Tesla equipment assigned installer company took until October 2nd and four visits to complete the work. They did the physical installation on May 30th, and the Universal Charger worked from day one. The Gateway 3V would not initialize/activate. They...

Just received the Qmerit quote back, after almost 6 weeks since my initial submission. In between I have tried to talk to some of the electricians contractors and electrician companies about doing a simply inlet receptacle approach with various results. It looks like the cost from Qmerit is much...

Hello, there have been quite a few people that have received high quotes for the Tesla powershare installs. I'd like to know what people are being quoted/charged and how complicated the installs are. It seems like Qmerit contractors know what they will get and figure they can charge ~$X amount...

I just got my bid for Qmerit to install a Powershare Home Backup Bundle (Universal Wall Connector and Powershare unit) to take advantage of the Cybertruck's Powershare capability. I already have a Wall Connector that was installed in 2017 for my Model 3 Performance, and it was installed without...

Hi everyone; I have 2 Tesla Solar / Powerwall systems .. work and home. They are both gateway 2 (same firmware); mult wall connector 3. CT foundation series. Powerwall gateway firmware is 24.20.0 With my $2500 Tesla store credit ordered 4 of the Wall v3 connectors and had them all installed...

PowerShare install #5 here in west Michigan! Here's my install, provisioning, and testing timeline. Out of Pocket Cost: $4,000 Wait time to install: 2 months Electric outage during install: 5 hours Wait time until PowerShare active: 4 days after install Simulated Outage Service Interruption: 5...

Well It finally happened. Grid power went out about 22:08:04 on 8/15 , the PowerShare activated backup power to the house at 22:10:16 (within 2min and 12 seconds). CT was plugged to the charger and at about 80% charged. While on backup power, the house used about 0.7kW during the outage. It...

I received my CyberBeast 20 June. Qmerit reached out about 2 weeks later. After doing the online photos and questionnaire I was assigned an installer. Today my assigned installer provides the attached quote.. TLDR: The final price (after the $4,000 voucher) was over 10,000… The installer added...

Took delivery on July 16 of my cyberbeast FS and went through the whole process with Qmerit on getting the PowerShare Home Backup process started. Took a few days of back and fourth and got the install booked after being told this by Q merit “If you have not received a shop voucher from Tesla to...

I’m attempting to add my PowerShare setup to the Tesla app after an installer came and put in the hardware. When attempting to connect to the gateways SSID there isn’t one to be found. I have a FS Cyberbeast, a 3V gateway, a universal wall connector, etc. no idea why a signal is not broadcasting.

Interesting PowerShare story… I called to schedule install (had existing quote) and they said they can’t do it now cause SoCal Electric doesn’t approve of the hardware anymore and have stopped installs. However they can do another method and just backup some breakers but the quote doubles from...

After the PowerShare Gateway installation and setup I was really enjoying seeing how my home energy was using grid or solar power. Then one day, it just stopped showing the data. I've done a full power down at the gateway and at my home panel and no help. For those of you with Powershare on...

The Tesla app sent me a notification that the truck had an update pending 2024.14.7. It says minor changes, but this all appeared in the app (before I started the update). UPDATE: link to later post in thread with images of it working. PowerShare Working Pics Image with it saying “Discover...
