"Imagine paying upwards of $8,000 for peace of mind during a grid outage, only to find out Tesla remotely drained your backup battery to 0% because it might otherwise catch fire."

I would not even buy a pencil from Tesla at this point.

@stfn Don't know anyone who paid anything as low as $8000 for Tesla.

@Armadillosoft @stfn Tesla Wall Batteries. For homes. Not a Tesla car.

The Tesla systems that hook to solar panels and the grid cost a lot more than $8000. Not as much as a Tesla car, but almost.

Where I live, we often lose power for a week or two. Apparently, if one uses up all the charge of a Tesla battery array, the system hangs and you have to do a hard reboot.

@stfn one of the reasons why I decided to delay getting a battery for my solar system is because the installer only offered Tesla as an option.

@oclsc it would be advertised as "full self writing soon" for five years and then it would be quietly dropped from the marketing materials
