AND catches fire!
No - the inverter should have a RCD built in. You're thinking about this all wrong. The RCD on your switch board is for devices in your home that consume power.

to be fair its not yet past that pint for a price rise, I think Monday 2nd is a holiday in USA? so if at all it could happen our Wednesday.
Or say they're doing that, and then just have the car play loud engine noises whenever the accelerator is pressed (and the sub can simulate the vibration, too!). I mean, if the car can fart when the turn signal activates how hard can it be to simulate an ICE to appease the "I'm amazed by everything about this car but it doesn't make loud car sounds so I don't like it" crowd.
I think I mentioned this before, but does anyone know why any reference to Macquarie has been scrubbed from Tesla’s site? Is it only pepper at this point?
As far as I can work out I think the point about type B RCDs is they'll still trip if you get a DC current output from the car down the charge cable and into you. Seems horribly unlikely.
The type B RCD is total overkill for most domestic installations according to the guy who installed my charger. My ROLEC charger even has its own breaker as part of the unit itself. Sadly though Worksafe NZ produced all of these new guidelines and according to my Electrician most tradies will be reluctant not to follow those guidelines on the small chance that something does go wrong as under the new Health and Safety regs they would be stuffed.

This is informative regarding RCD requirements for home chargers: Supercharge your safety with NHP's electrical vehicle chargers
Has anyone got a copy on AS/NZ 3000:2018 wiring rules appendices that they could check and possibly share?

The way I understand Tesla uses CCS2 socket on Model 3. It has separate connection for DC power. The Tesla HPWC does not have the DC connection side to it. So I do not believe that Tesla HPWC can feed DC power into grid from the car as the DC circuit is separate. I could be wrong though.

its not so much feeding DC in on the DC channel its feeding it in on the AC channel

Getting power from the Tesla car to the grid would be all good, but I have asked about this before and unfortunately Tesla does not do V2G.

Yes the whole point of CCS2 is to have DC pins physically separate from AC, so that an AC-only plug has no risk of energising or being energised by the DC pins.
So the NZ rule on Type B RCDs may be a “precaution” so that it covers all bases, including BEVs that support V2G, (which Teslas do not), because in the future anyone could be plugging any type of BEV into that socket. But I’m only guessing, I don’t know the real reason.

I've been through earthquakes, I'd be keen if it wasnt expensive. 75kwh car + home/solar and perhaps a battery is a very good off grid solution
I got the call!
