Wonder if they expected them to be stacked for some reason? I would have thought wall mounting would have been the default and air intake from the top or bottom and exhaust the other way or out to the space (which wouldn't work if you stacked them, lol). But sideways seems to be the worst way to design these. Perhaps that's why there seems to be a lot of space between them in the installation drawings.That’s a great point. One of my two is about to be replaced bacause it won’t maintain a 5kw output. If it’s the one on the right, I suspect Tesla is going to need to look at installation issues. The right unit on multi-unit side by side installations is always going to be sucking warm air from the left unit.
I'll have to bring this up when I have my site visit, as I have 'room' for three side-by-side, but not if they need two feet or whatever in between each one.
Edit: The specs I see from the Tesla site is that they need to be on 4' centers, and the PWs are 30" wide, which means they are 18" apart, if I'm doing the math correctly. So three of them would take 10.5 feet (with no clearance at the end, which, of course, wouldn't work, but that's the physical space).
