Cybertruck Powershare Installation for Home Backup

That was an amazing video!!!! Thanks for doing such a great job breaking down all the details!!!!

Congrats on the new ride and very nice walkthrough of the PowerShare. I assume we'll see an update video someday when they actually turn on that feature. ☺ I'll need a ride next time you are around here!

Nice and Congrats! I live in Buford.. getting our PowerShare installed on the 20th!

So just a few comments. 1. The V2 Gateway and the 3-wire Gen 3 wall connector you mentioned are not compatible with PowerSharing unless you have the PowerWall system already installed and working. 2. For a stand-alone setup (no other Tesla power systems in the house), you will need a 3V (yes, 3V, not a typo) gateway with a "neutral balancing transformer" that the PowerWall system normally provides. 3. Additionally, you'll need the new (not available yet) 4-wire wall connector that can carry 12V power back to the 3V gateway when there's an outage (the current one is three-wire) This is my understanding. Yes, plus software that's not available yet.

I live in the ATL and got mine installed last week. I got a banner in the Tesla app showing how to use Powershare. The option to turn it on showed up at the same time in the controls menu and in the vehicle. My Powershare works.

The Ford system does not work, and neither Ford, nor Sunrun will support it. Possibly if you have Sunrun install it, but then you have to deal with them putting screws through your livingroom wall. The equipment costs $6k, my install was $7k, and Ford charges you $500, "for the privilige".

Great content!! You are first!! WAY cheaper than a $14,000 Generac. Excellent job.

I’m guessing a 200A service disconnect is outside?

Thanks this was very helpful i just got my cybertruck. I just odered a universal wall connector. Was i supposed to receive that for free ? Or is it just the installation I will get savings on ?

Do you know what size and type the communication wire is, I'm seeing on a search I see 22 gauge shielded twisted pair but can't really confirm that. The red wire you spoke of. I'm running the wire this weekend and want to run the right wire with the power it even though I don't have the gateway yet to be ready for my next tesla with powershare. thanks

Is the gateway capable of taking a solar input as well?

Weird that you dont have it working now. Others in the forum have it going now. Maybe something hasn't updated right or a problem with commissioning. Also your 3V gateway and UWC are not required for thise with existing Powerwall and connector: For Customers with Powerwall If your home is equipped with Powerwall and home charging, you do not require any additional equipment. Powershare Home Backup functionality with Powerwall is expected to be available later this year through an over-the-air update. All AC Powerwall variants will be compatible with Powershare Home Backup in the future.

What size conduit do I need to rough in before I close up my drywall. I just confirmed my Foundation series two weeks ago. My confirmation reply was a delivery of no later than the end of September. Do you think that’s possible? Thanks for the info. We are hanging drywall at the present time

Tesla free install or they will charge extra?

So they ran Romex inside of your conduits?

Thanks for the video What was the quote amount for installation? Sounds like about $2100?

Dang I average about 115kwh/day at my house. Don't think the Powershare is going to work for me. Tesla credit it is. Thanks for the video and the nice explanation.

How about you say how much you actually paid for the install.

So if you have tesla solar and you purchase a foundation series your paying for equipment you already own ???? And FSD that isn’t available and you lose 7,500 rebate because the purchase price is over 80,000 LMAO WHAT???? Why would anyone do this even if you didn’t have tesla solar why??
