Outside of Charlotte, NC. Install took 2 people most of the workday.
When you purchased your cybertruck, you also selected the Tesla Powershare Home Backup Bundle $2500, providing the Gateway and Universal Wall Connector hardwareOutside of Charlotte, NC. Install took 2 people most of the workday.

Yes, I used my $2,500 voucher for the Powershare Gateway Bundle, which included the Universal Wall Connector. The -$2,400 for installation was mostly labor, but included about $500 in materials separate from the gateway and wall connector. Primarily breakers for the gateway and 3/0 wiring at - $10/ft.When you purchased your cybertruck, you also selected the Tesla Powershare Home Backup Bundle $2500, providing the Gateway and Universal Wall Connector hardware
The above is the labor costs in your area for the install labor
making sure Im following the story
$5K all in parts and laborYes, I used my $2,500 voucher for the Powershare Gateway Bundle, which included the Universal Wall Connector.

Look into Interlock switch. It's not automatic but works flawless. 9600watt from 40amp plug in bed of CT.My quote for installing PowerShare 3v and wall charger is extremely high. Mounting both within 5 feet of the subpanel I want to backup was initially almost 7 thousand dollars. That subpanel currently has only 2 circuits , one a/c system and one 15 amp light circuit. I was able to work with the approved installer and did get the quote down to just under 4k. Very dissatisfied.
Anyone else feeling ripped off after analyzing value of FSD, PowerShare, and other small items prior to dropping the 20k for Founders edition? What will Tesla provide to compensate if I choose not pay this unreasonable price for install?

240V @ 48A or just over 11.5kW. Since it is backing up a full 200A panel, it would be possible to exceed the capabilities of the CT at which point it would simply shutdown Powershare until I removed load and re-enabled it. In practice though, I rarely pull more than 3.5kW on that panel, since the big loads (stove, ovens, HVAC, other EV chargers, etc) are on a separate 200A panel.$5K all in parts and labor
How many amps and at what voltage can the Cybertruck supply via the PowerShare? 208/40 or 48? How do you select circuits to power and not pop breakers over running the available supply?
At 40-48 amps, the 123kwh CT battery could last two weeks.
