Indeed, that may well be a significant part of the behind-the-scenes thinking with their new Powerwall product. Remember how we were discussing "dump packs" for that Israeli high-current battery that we suspect could be vaporware? The Powerwall would likely make an excellent dump pack for a Model S. After all, Tesla is selling the Powerwall as a way to use off-peak electricity during on-peak times...and few if any home appliances are as power-hungry as a rapidly-charging EV. Yeah, a single module is only 7-10 kWh...but I bet that's right in line with typical daily charging demands as reported over-the-air back to Tesla. Hadn't thought of it before...but, now that I have, I'd be surprised if Tesla engineers haven't. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
