PowerWall and "The Missing Piece..." Event

[pgiralt]

This is just like the D announcement. I think it was over a 1 hour delay for that one.

Ok this is officially LAME Elon! Come on man your not the Rolling Stones...this is a battery announcement after all! Yeeeesh!

 

[SoCalGuy]

According to some twitter feeds, it still hasn't started yet... (Tesla's just updated 3 min ago).

Wow a battery backup that costs 3k plus installation to do what? It would run my bedroom heater in the winter through most the night?

Why would you buy this? And why can't I do the same thing with the 85kwh battery I already bought?

 

[Kbra]

I think we have all looked to deeply. This IS the event. The media is gathered today to the big reveal. Its done. They lit the white wall to say POWERWALL. Now go home. What more do you want?

 

[Lump]

I bet he is playing Bingo with Bonnie.

Price low enough to be interesting, but not interesti by enough to lose more sleep. Good night.

 

[ggies07]

yeah, I've listened to this techno music for so long now I could fall asleep to it.

 

[Lloyd]

We'll work tomorrow will have to be an Elonaday:smile:

Simple. Because Tesla doesn't want you to drive to the supercharger and fill up on their dime, and then drive home and power your house.

I'm on mute..can't take any more loops :scared:

I'd do that, but I need to hear when something actually happens while I reading this thread on TMC.

Someone get Bonnie to send EM a tweet to get his a** out there!:wink:

He had to get from Palo Alto to Hawthorne. Then there was a 30-minute press conference scheduled at 7:30 - maybe that's where the text quoted in an earlier post came from.

 

[Bgarret]

I depleted my scotch reserves a couple weeks ago with a final snifter of Balvenie 15, before that I kicked a bottle of A'bunadh.

You know nothing John Snow. Scotch is neither created nor destroyed, it feeds us like air.

Do two side by side windows!

 

[Twiglett]

they just tweeted "Counting down to the big announcement. We feel a lot of good energy in the room!"
Seriously - all I can see is a whole bunch of bored folks and camera guys pretending to tweak settings.
So much for the 8:30PST - its 11:15 here, I'm going to bed

 

[ggies07]

At some point, the crowd there becomes lethargic from waiting.....not good when Elon is hyped up on stage and there's no feed back from the crowd, hahaha.

 

[Cattledog]

Perhaps they are simply revealing the battery's capacity by showing how long they can power the music loop off of it. Gonna be a long night...
