Update some clarity, the third Tesla rep set they other two straight.
Tesla rep to us today:
I asked our energy expert to get clarification and I gave you the wrong information previously. Sorry about that.
For the Power wall with Solar, it won’t pull from the grid to charge unless under emergency situations. For example, extreme weather, natural disasters and/or power shutdown warnings.
The Power wall will use the Solar panels as its main source to charge the battery during the day ( most days, should charge the power wall fully) then use that stored energy at night while you are using electronics in the house. ( you can manage the Power wall via the app on how much energy you would use from the home and have power pulled from the grid).
Power wall without solar, will pull from the grid during off-peak hours to max out on savings and during the daytime the power wall will be the main source of power for the home ( Unless you control it from the app exactly how much power can be used, pending on the Utility provider).
Hopefully this clears the confusion up a little bit.
