Gen 3 Tesla Wall Charger Launched, Now With WiFi

[drcarric2650]

Yes, we have 4 Powerwalls that really can supply 100% of our needs for 4 days in summer and back up for our outages in winter (sounds like we have the same schedule as you for those!). In the winter the sun disappears behind our mountain and no amount of PV will pull it back in sight...only dancing around the fire and praying to Surya works.

If the PowerWall set up would allow for a tesla EV to connect to it, then you could go a month without power.

That would be the zombie apocalypse and I would hop in my CT and head for Costa Rica.

Or a hurricane direct hit to a coastal area. It is not uncommon to see power go down for weeks. One could drive out of the impacted area and top of with a supercharger and return to run the essentials.

First live look.

Couple questions for those in the know.
Is this charger suitable for CT?
Can this charger be daisy-chained to old version charger on 50 amp circuit breaker?

1. Won’t know until we see the CT but I would certainly think so.

2. No. It will manage sharing via the WiFi and must be on its own breaker.
