Interesting...$400/PW/Year is great, and you still get fixed sellback rate of $0.04?

Cybertruck coming this Friday. If Powershare works and I can combine them, I'm going back to TE to try that out as soon as I break even on my early termination fee with JE.
So the question is, does the $400 plus sell buyback rate of $0.04 outperform the Texas ERCOT market rate spikes in the summer and market rate buyback during the rest of the year. Do we trust the grid to hold up or not lol?

@Jones1 how much did your friends earn last year with TE?

One guy cashed in $600 the other guy I believe had about $400 credit. He is letting it roll over.
First guy has one EV. Model X. Limited driving.
The second guy. No EV but large Pool in the back yard.
Both have 2 PW’s each and are in VPP.

So I’m hoping. I get the $1200 annual Credit. I plan to do some stuff maybe the dryer on the weekends between 12-4am. Hard to do. 😆
The unlimited charging. I’ll do mostly. Sometimes I have to charge way before that.
On the first Tesla Electric plan. With one PW. My average bill was about $60-$70 on average monthly.

Man my area really lucked out with this storm. No power outage and no bad wind. Sounds like most of the area got hit hard though. I see the power outage tracker for the county is insane.
well that was a storm eh!! Knocked our power out, first time in an extended outage where it’s not a 5min surge. Saw a transformer blow for the neighborhood behind us then we lost power too. +13h with no AC running on one Powerwall at 70% ain’t bad.

Is this new plan different from last year? I am thinking one PW holds 13.5kwh and if 75% is exported each day, then the credit per kwh will be close to 10 cents, if one ends up paying for those 75%, then it may be a gain or loss depending on time of usage. I guess the more PWs one has, the better the value ? The $15/EV is a good value though.

So the plan I’m on. The Fixed Plan and Unlimited Charging at night.
Is $400 annual Credit per PW.
So $400
Plus the 4 cent buyback.
I’m thinking TE will charge the PW up between 12-4am for 5.9 cents
Today is my Start date. So I will know more tonight and obviously as the software updates more in the coming weeks. Currently it’s still buggy.

Keep us posted, really interested to see if you get paid extra when it discharges for an event or rates spike.

No. I do not expect to get the spike Rates.
That would be the current Dynamic plan and the new soon to be released Dynamic plan.
Fixed is fixed.
You get $33 per PW each month. Fixed payments.

So $1200 per year for me plus the 4 cent buy back.
The Question I have and will find out.
How much it will cost me to Charge my PW’s ?
Will it be possible to have Credit after TE Pimps my PW’s? 😆
