    At least we now have silver again?

    That would be a ticket-able offense in most of the US as you have to drive the wrong way twice to park in such a way. Seems really dangerous.

    The examples I have seen of this are people street parking at a lamp post in a urban area, not a proper parking lot.

    I love this use-case, but then it opens up the question of charge port location standards, for that to work they would have to be on the passenger side.

    The other option is receptacles available at parking spots and its BYOC. Minimal infrastructure needed for that. But at the same time, really only works in a high trust society I guess.

    My question was more about the value Powershare has in Tesla vehicles, especially if it's an option on vehicles going forward. If I could charge say $2,500 for the capability in my car, but then you could turn around and write off at least a portion of that use for home backup, there could be a...

    Nothing against those of you that are attorneys, but if that is the case then maybe just say that and leave out the ambiguity? I am sure the IRS has clear instructions on this.

    That is unfortunate as a CT is cheaper than the equivalent in Powerwalls

    What does "Primarily" mean in this case? My CT sits in my driveway plugged into my house easily 51%+ of the time. So, it is primarily a home energy storage device for me. Not trying to cause trouble, but an honest question.

    Question I cannot find an answer to online and my CPA friends seem to think it's worth a go. If I use my Cybertruck Powershare feature to provide battery backup for my house, does it qualify for the Residential Energy Credit on form 5695? The instructions for line 5a have no language aside from...

    So >10% meaning about 10% otherwise why not say 15% or 20%? Unless at time of writing he didn't know the total count because some metric was simply being applied across divisions.

    2018 9% and 2022 10% of salaried are the recent years layoffs.

    You and me both. But we know how people work. There is also nothing stopping Tesla from raising prices to $400mo tomorrow either.

    Quick thought, this will further erode the value prop of the Foundation Series CT, going to see some unhappy people there that already didnt like they were "paying" more than the locked in $7k FDS price for early res holders.

    Welp, time to modify my order I am picking up Monday to remove FSD... no point in paying $12k for FSD that now has a 10yr ROI. Interesting change as you would think upfront cash would be better than sub revenue, but I guess they are hoping for a greater uptake, which well could be the case.
