It will work until enough people start using this system. That could be a long enough time to get a payback. Life is full of gambles but that is one I will take.

I have been offered by solar city tesla battery back up in California that is charged with your solar system. Cost is around 23k and PGE. Rebate is $8k plus. Solar city charge $1500 upfront for install and then $15/ mo for 10 years lease. I need to sign papers this week and I doubt Tesla battery will be any cheaper?
Btw can u charge your tesla from backup battery

I think it will be stationary battery pack but more. What could a battery pack offer?
1) backup power (nice but boring)
2) off peak power use (great but limited value, can't justify cost of pack)
3) rapid discharge for in-home SUPERCHARGING!!!!!
think about it- the car could support it, but home electrical systems can't pull that much load. A battery could and it would certainly be useful for people that might need to drive all day- like chauffeurs, realtors etc.

Expensive back-up, but would likely come with automatic switching which you don't get with a cheap generator.I think it will be stationary battery pack but more. What could a battery pack offer?

Tesla is going to do a home battery solution, that could be used to provide outage back-up, and/or storage of solar, and/or peak shaving. Tesla wants more battery demand so it can persuade Panasonic and, more importantly, Panasonic's partners to invest aggressively in the Gigafactory.
Nothing more than that. No Supercharging. No V2G.
do you think there is some possibility of tapping into the vehicles battery for outage back-up but not V2G (nor any other purpose)? it would be pretty awesome to pay for 10 kWh of back up capacity and access 80 to 100 kWh of back up capacity via your Tesla.
