The V3 are actually thinner with the liquid cooling. There tends to be a good bit of fan noise from the cabinet when near 250kW on a hot day - but the car is doing it too.
And does anyone really believe it'll be $30k? Even the base base model? I'm betting $35k after $7500 rebate.
I have to correct you here. V3 still shares power with other stalls, though at most sites it is across the entire site instead of just one other stall. If every stall is occupied, and demanding lots of power, most sites can only supply ~90kW per stall. (Still better than V2.) Of course that rarely happens, so most people don't realize that power sharing is still a thing with V3.
I doubt increasing the power output and adding a pump, hoses, and radiator would lower the costs.
Patience Grasshopper - I agree that we need to be above that approximate price to approach a breakout @henchman24 , but would suggest that a close above that price today isn't nearly as important as closing above that price tomorrow (a Friday), for reasons I had previously posted. TSLA is trying to break above a one-year resistance line that forms a Yuuuge wedge with the 3-year line of support it has traded into for almost a year. The one-year trendline is formed by weekly closing prices - not daily moves above the trendline, which allows for some great mid-week 'head fakes' above and below those longer trendlines by MM's and then a pullback into the wedge by the close of trading on Friday. On the longer trends it is not just a matter of 'if' we break above, but 'when' we break above. The MM's 'could' walk the price up today and pull it right back down tomorrow into the wedge, and would put a Deon Sanders juke on the Day Traders while TSLA simply continues to trade into the massive wedge on the longer charts - which do happen to converge right around Q3 numbers being released and perhaps a bit of pressure to pump the market prior to mid-term elections, both of which are great catalysts for the breakout you mentioned. I am sincerely hopeful we break above it sooner than later. But after trading too early into a longer-term breakout a few too many times over the years, I would be wary of some strong Tractor Beam-action back below the wedge before Friday afternoon. Hope to wrong!
I assume it will be the typical bait and switch. "We will offer this 30k model for real guys! Just wait 5 years and we will totally make a bunch of them to sell. Oh and our dealers will add 10k in market adjustment to collect your tax credit."
Is the Powerpack now available for 240V residential services @Artful Dodger ? When I had inquired about buying one for our farm in Idaho I was told by the Tesla rep that it was only available for 480V services, and that of course caused some headaches for residential applications. IIRC, @skitown ran into the same issues when designing his pretty awesome Tesla solar systemYeah they have that. It's called 'Powerpack':
You might find the Powerpack waiting list to be even longer than the one for Powerwall. Backorders for TE products now go out to 2024.
Cheers!
So, you mean like the $35k Model 3? Hide it and sell a few before they just plain stop offering anything even close?
Yeah they have that. It's called 'Powerpack':

I think they discontinued Powerpack

When I was exploring that option about a year ago I was told by the Tesla Energy rep that Tesla was actively working on a new 240 V version of the Powerpack at that time, but I too have not seen anything about this more residential-friendly version yet either. I think it will be a Home Run. Our solar project could have 6 to 8 Powerwalls on it, and I would gladly just get a single Powerpack to put outside and then play the VPP roulette machine every day instead. The Powerpack can be very heavy since it won't hang on a wall, so it can use the least expensive ingredients as a result. And since it will likely have an order of magnitude more energy storage than a Powerwall, deploying it in residential locations will begin to create the Distributed Grid no matter how hard the PUD's resist it. Yes, we would like to have one (or more). But I do wonder how easy it will be to obtain as a residential customer with all the Dark Forces resisting the larger benefits of a Distributed Grid.
Still easier to buy than a bolt and was available for 19 months AFAIK.
I know that pic is from the Wiki article you cited... but I don't think those are Powerpack cabinets. I think those are the Supercharger cabinets.Yeah they have that. It's called 'Powerpack':
