    Help me understand my options for backing up circuits using a single Powerwall.

    I'm running out of time to make final decisions to lock on Tesla's commitment of the 2020 tax credit value. With a single Powerwall what can I back up on this breaker box? I know all the 15/20 amp outlets and lights aren't an issue. It's the 30amp and higher circuits that I'll have to make...

    My 2020 credit is guaranteed by rebate, would there be a benefit in requesting a 2021 install date?

    Obviously there's the time value of money - if I get the system installed in December then I get my money back a lot quicker than if I have it installed in January. But is there any compelling reason you all can think of to request a January/February installation? Is there perhaps a chance that...

    My A/C unit has a LRA of 38 amps. Can a single Powerwall support that?

    I'm in Maryland, if it matters. I can barely justify the cost of a single Powerwall for the rare power outage, but I can live with the price as long as it keeps the AC and some lights on the second floor on. Will one Powerwall be able to supply enough power to start my AC unit?

    My ROI is about 14 years, are there any other hidden savings that could help this make sense?

    Energy is dirt cheap in Maryland and my roof orientation is sub-optimal. I just moved into a new construction home but nobody can predict where they're going to live in 14 years. Are there any other ways that solar saves you money that could possibly shave a couple years off of this ROI?

    Is there any advantage to using a GEN3 charger if my GEN1 charger still works fine?

    I can either buy an adapter to allow my GEN3 charger to work, or I can just keep using the GEN1 adapter I have leftover from when I traded in my old S. Is there any reason I should make the change to GEN3?

    What year did they 'perfect' the manufacturing of the X?

    In some circles they say 2016 was the year that Tesla really figured out the S. Reliability became outstanding, fit & finish improved markedly, autopilot came into its own. I'm looking to trade my S for an X. What should my limit be for model year?

    Family man finding the S a little too tight. Is the X significantly better with kids?

    When I purchased my S in 2016 my family was only two. Now its four, and the S is tough with two baby seats. Really only good for local drives and even then its tight getting the kids in and out. We have a Highlander so I we don't really NEED two SUV's but the falcon wing doors seem like...
