I had PowerShare hardware installed last week in Texas. Non-Tesla employee! Still not active… waiting for Tesla to refine software. 2:07

Tesla Certified guy out of New England here, thank you guys for breaking this down! Great content and absolutely worth subscribing if you are working with new technologies.

PowerShare installed for me as well 2 weeks ago. Not an employee. Waiting for a physical firmware update needed to enable the feature

I am a Journeyman Meter tech at an electric utility. My apprenticeship was at SCE in CA. I work at substation level. I should be able to install this myself.

26:08 for those curious about people with existing PW installations

Thanks for the info, I have a foundation and really appreaciate it

Great video. #1 reason I reserved night 1, was hoping they would have this feature. Wish granted.

Just add a soft start to the AC unit and it solves the LRA issue.

If I have a Solar two Powerwall 3’s and a im getting a universal charger do I need a 3V or a DC connection between the universal wall connector and the batteries?

An honest broker. I would use this company.

Great information! I had been wondering how this worked. Quick question, the gateway is unique for power share, but if I already have a charger can I use that? It is the standard power charger? Thanks.

RE delay in switching over to the CT in an outage: This applies to an outage caused by a short circuit - tree branch on line, car hits pole, etc. The utility has breakers at the substation that can automatically restore power (depending on the programming). Here they are set to instantly (~1 sec) the first time than after about 30 sec for the next two times then for 1:30 the last time before locking out. This is to give time for the fault to clear. the fault may clear by a fuse on an adjacent circuit blowing or tree branch getting blown onto a line then falling off. So having a delay before switching over to the CT is advisable.

No mention of offgrid systems... Maybe a sweet cabin in the woods is now a possibility for the misses 😊

Does the PowerShare connection need to be near my main breakers or grid meter? My garage is on the opposite side of the house

Do you think older Tesla vehicles will be able to power share with a future software update, or would only future year model S3XY get this function?

If your HVAC system has gas heat can you exclude just the AC unit but allow the heating system to operate the electronics and fan?

I installed a 30amp outdoor generator plug L14l-30P, bought the 10,500 watt gas generator, and the 8' of 8/3 wiring with 4' watertight electrical whip sheathing , total cost was ~ $500. $5k to install this not including HW! Where do I sign-up to install this stuff and make $4500/install since the wiring will be only $500 max. Great idea, and there is a reason these guy want to be first out the gate to install this still, lotsa profit.

I have the latest Universal Tesla Wall Connector installed that is required with the original Tesla Gateway 1.0 that is part of a Tesla Solar and Tesla PowerWall2 system that was all installed by Tesla team. When I contacted Tesla Energy team they said it was not known if the Gateway 1.0 versus the Gateway 2.0 is required for this bi-directional charging... At the 27:00 min mark in your video you said existing PowerWall owners with Gateway (I suppose any version?) will not require anything else, it will work with a firmware/software update?

With the reverse compatibility to PW2 and Gen 2 Wall Connector, is the neutral formed at the PW2? If the NFT is required in the 3V to allow non-PW back-up, this is my assumption.

In case of an outage if you have a PowerWall system with Solar and now PowerShare installed and Cybertruck plugged in, how does the system work? Does the home start pulling from the Powerwall as usual and only supplement from the vehicle if the home battery is running low and solar isnt keeping up? Or does it pull from both? Also you mentioned excess solar cannot go directly to the vehicle?

No soft start for AC on th v2g?

If you already have powerwall and v2 gateway, you don’t need 3v and universal wall connector? Does the existing charger need to be a gen3 wall connector? How does the v2 gateway manage the solar power, powerwalls, and vehicle power? Does the gateway tell the vehicle how much power to supply? Does excess go back into the powerwall?

I currently have solar with Enphase Inverters (gateway) and Enphase Battery backup. Can I still just have the Tesla Powershare Gateway and universal connector installed alongside my solar gateway and have it work when I get my Cybertruck? Basically, I'm looking for info for those of us who have comparable setups that are not by Tesla already on our homes. Thanks in advance for any info you all can provide!

Silverado EV also supports this. Blazer EV as well with software update. Both have been out since video release. Just fyi. Also I am not sure but I think Rivian does it with software update? I am 100% sure about chevy, I work there.

What are the options for those who just have solar no powerwall? Can I still install it ahead of the main breaker and wait for a software update or will i have to have the 3V installed after the main panel and feed a sub panel? DO you need to set up load shedding modules on those high power draw appliances or houses will multiple HVAC systems? I am assuming that 48 amps wont be able to sustain most homes in the event of an outage?

in Sweden the Tesla charger cost from Tesla store is $600.00 and a normal installation in a garage that has 240 volt three fas is a 1 to 2 hours job. Cost about $ 200.00.

Would a soft start also help if the LRA was above the 110 amps ?

If you have a v1 wall connector can it share the cable back to 3V gateway? I.e. can I use the old wall connector for a second tesla?

What gauge wire is required for the 2 wire communication wire between the wall connector and the 3v gateway?

If we have a generator inlet and an interlock, would we be able to just plug in the ct bed’s 240v outlet to the house generator inlet?

Where would a powerwall connect to this system? I would assume when it makes sense it would typically connect to the Gateway, but could it be connected direct to the sub panel?

if installing the Tesla Universal Wall connector with V2 gateway and powerwalls, will you be installing a communication wire from wall connector to gateway?

Great video , what impact does having Tesla solar already installed have?

I have a Tesla Solar Panels, Powerwall+, and Universal Wall Connector. Is this setup good enough to get the V2L working if I get a Cybertruck? And will this setup also work once they enable PowerShare on newer Model Y?

I got a Cybertruck and planning a Powerwalls 2:install. Is the Gateway that comes free with the Cybertruck the same one you install with a Powerwall 2?

How does this affect you if you are currently on nem 2.0 with no battery back ups? I don’t want to be moved to nem 3.0

How easy is it to add a powerwall to this system post installation? Are there any considerations that need to be made during installation to accommodate this expansion at a later date?

Would this work with other V2H/L capable vehicles? EG Ioniq etc?

What is the second box installed in the install videos?

Does anyone know if a Powerwall 3 can be landed on the Tesla 3V gateway?

FYI: tesla can charge on Solar with a software setting in the vehicle.

It is not clear to me if Powershare can do V2G/send power to grid at peak times and recharge at off-peak. Can you clarify?

If I have existing solar- non tesla- will it tie into this system?

At 26:20 you said (paraphrased) "If you only have Powerwall OR wall connector you are good to go; you don't need 3V gateway" - but doesn't this need a grid disconnect? If you only have a wall connector, the Cybertruck would backfeed into the grid. Surely if you only have a wall connector, you'd need to install other equipment to enable the truck to power the house safely?

Teleprompter via iPhone on a desk does not work well. 😂 still, thanks for video on PS topic. Tesla confirmed I get $4k for install of the PS hardware that comes with CT Beast (tri-motor).

How does this work with multiple vehicles and multiple chargers?

Yeah, the powershare is one way to do it OR you could use a Bi DIRECTIONAL EV charger like the Ford Lightning uses to put juice INTO your cybertrucks battery pack AND it allows juice to be pulled OUT of the battery pack. Just like your powershare does without the added expense. !

🤔Did you use a laptop webcam for video? The graphics look crisp and clear - but the video is noticeably soft and compressed. It might look OK on a small cell phone - but it's terrible on a larger screen. Thanks for the detailed information.

You never mentioned the cost for the PowerShare anywhere you just said it’s cheaper ish than a generator.

Why can’t I just connect 75’ extension cords [with a 3 way plug ] inside our home upstairs and down stairs into the CyberTruck outlets? [ instead of our old gasoline generator]

Do you need 1 3V Powershare per Cybertruck? Or can multiple wall connectors wire into a single 3V?

Listen to this was rather interesting especially the part about all these worries about these battery, connectors and power, and all that stuff and fires sounds to me like the best course of action would be to return to some of the old stuff and what I’m talking about is the old idea of a central powerhouse Now this won’t work in a city but in the country or Township this work just fine in case someone doesn’t know what I’m talking about. I’ll try to keep this brief. Essentially you have a farm and in the center of your farm your power comes into a building this building houses all electrical and water components like water heaters etc. instead of having them in your basement nowadays most don’t have the water component part but the powerhouse part would be just fine. It would be safer and allow you to have battery packs and all that stuff in one central location and then pipe out to your home and other buildings. This means more electrical wiring with heavier cabling but I think this would be an easier way to handle things. The other thing to note is you could have a dedicated fire suppression system in your electrical house to extinguish these electrical components just my thoughts. Thanks for the great video. (just a little disclaimer I’m not electrician I’m just a farmer and I do it myself kinda attitude, but take my two cents with a grain of sand. These are just my thoughts.)

So essentially, with taxes, you're looking at around $300,000 to have a cybertruck, solar and powerwall system to power your home. Lets do some math: Average hydro bill in US is around $150/month. 300,000/150 = 2000 months 2000/12 = 166 It will take you 166 years to break even on that cost versus just paying a hydro bill. And its actually much more than that because the cybertruck and all the goodies will financed, at interest, over years for most who bother to do all of this. Assuming you're in your 30s to 50s, because you'd have to be to afford a cybertruck, accumulate enough wealth to purchase a large home and all the goodies needed for this to work, it would be a third of the cost to just pay your hydro bill until you die. All you've done is transfer where your money goes. From the power companies (which you're still going to be paying access fees to regardless) to a corporation you bought all the goodies from. When does the green energy future actually SAVE us money, because as it stands, its only for the very wealthy. I'm a Tesla shareholder, and love Elon and Co. Im just wondering when all of this helps us drive electricity costs down instead of up?

At least until the firmware is available [June?], we live in Central Florida [huricane season is coming] Ref my above comment.

Most of the presentation is out of focus especially the black and white still image. You may want to get a professional videographer for any future presentations . 50 years in the electrical industry, and a licensed electrical contractor, and certified Tesla installer since 2014. You say it can come with a main breaker rated up to 200A (160A @80%) from the load side of utility meter (ahead of the homes main breaker distribution panel) but is not (yet) service entrance rated as with for example a SE rated generator back-up transfer switch and requiring a separate disconnect adding to installation cost, that can vary widely depending on the complexity. Tesla needs to get that one figured out IMO. Your presentation states the V3 is rated @ 110A= 26.4kW for a "whole house" transfer scenario. If the wall connector is 60A=11.5kW @ 80% (from what I have seen thus far) back-feeding from the Cybertruck, how is it possible to provide 110A of whole house back-up from 48A source via back- feeding from the wall connector? I've talked to Tesla tech's to gain more installation information as I have a potential client contacting me for a PS install and the tech's I spoke to could not answer my question as this is still very new from Tesla.

wait this pos that only gets you a few thousand more watts....doesnt use the onboard transformer and youre paying for a whole additional transformer instead of just using the rear outlet the truck comes with....why? you get 0 additional energy out of the truck. whats the point? just to have it be automatic vs walking to garage and plugging in a cord once a year maybe?

I have had my Cybertruck for 3 weeks and still no powershare install acheduled

video quality is like from the 90s

yeah....this is worthless. good for yuppies. get a cord, plug into rear 240v power outlet. buy mcb interlock kit for 5$, setup cybertruck like any generator ever. turn off appliances as needed if it draws too much. hur dur. there hour of work and 5$ and a genny cord. every rv owner and contractor laughs at people like this. one single bonus - the 4500 extra gets you like 2000 watts more power....which still isnt enough to run a full house ac and makes really no difference so heyo
