Yep, I think that they would have to make the owner agree to a change in the warranty terms, maybe something like counting each kWh of energy extracted via V2x as ~3 miles against the battery warranty.I think also this would cause increased battery degradation through repeated discharge-recharge cycles. The 8 year warranty may end up costing Tesla money in increased repair and replacement.
It is a marketing decision. It's cheaper without it and when Tesla was designing S, X, 3,Y, there was no bi-directional charging competition.Can anyone explain why Tesla is not allowing bi-directional charging from all its cars, except CT??? Technical or otherwise...
I’d expect a change similar to the way powerwalls are warranted, where there is both a time component and a cycle count component, whichever is reached first.Yep, I think that they would have to make the owner agree to a change in the warranty terms, maybe something like counting each kWh of energy extracted via V2x as ~3 miles against the battery warranty.
Maybe once the CCS standard is updated to include support for bidirectional power Tesla will support outputting DC power as well. (I would think that all Tesla vehicles could output DC power with just a software update, but Tesla has chosen AC for their bidirectional, i.e. PowerShare, feature.)
Both Ford and GM are currently shipping DC based solutions. Of course, they require you to install their "gateway", "inverter", and "dark start battery" boxes. So, it costs ~$7,500 just for the equipment for your home. (Plus installation.)This is an interesting idea - DC out straight from the car to oh, I dunno, a solar inverter built in to a Powerwall 3?
I haven't seen any mention of Tesla supporting direct vehicle to vehicle charging. I don't see anyone adding a ~10kW DC-to-DC converter to their car just for V2V, and I think it would be too big/expensive to sell as an adapter to plug into your vehicle.If they plan to have Vehicle-to-Vehicle charging, hopefully it'll be DC-to-DC. And not DC->AC->DC (efficiency & heat losses).
Noted in the title of the thread...Cybertruck does vehicle to vehicle charging.
Not really. It just has a 14-50 outlet in the vault that you can plug a EVSE into. That can be any EVSE, but the Cybertruck doesn't come with one. Well, the Foundation Series ones do, but that will only work to charge a NACS compatible, i.e. Tesla, vehicle. If you want to charge any other EV you would need a J1772 EVSE with a 5-15 or 14-50 plug on it.Cybertruck does vehicle to vehicle charging.
Powershare instructions indicate you must buy stuff to use it.Not really. It just has a 14-50 outlet in the vault that you can plug a EVSE into.

Indeed yes. That would be DC->to AC (the outlet in the Vault) -> then back to DC.Cybertruck does vehicle to vehicle charging.
No, they don’t.Each and every stand alone single family home has enough roof surface to generate ALL their electricity needs including, transportation, heating/cooling and even cooking vis induction stoves.
But they ARE needed. Cars are not always at home.Note no extra battery backups will not be needed!
No, it cant.2. Note just a single parking space (10'x20') can generate enough energy for an average home.
