There are plenty of fully out-of-warranty Tesla vehicles out there today (IIRC, max battery warranty was 8 years/unlimited miles, min was 8/100k miles on shorter range cars), and lots more that will be out of warranty soon. Combined with Magnuson Moss, and Tesla's own precedent on the CT + onboard AC export + Wall Connector Gen 3, the warranty clause may be a moot point.
It's unfortunate there isn't an official solution. This is something where the competition has stronger offerings. I think the strongest use case for power export is V2L, for emergency backup or off grid site power (camping, construction). Those cases aren't likely to go through many kWh compared to actual driving, and they're at low C rates, so should be low stress on a big pack. V2H and V2G are interesting but I think V2L has the most immediate value. It is also what is available on Hyundai and Kia EVs via a simple J1772 to NEMA 5-15 outlet adapter. (V2H is interesting from a potentially seemless charging/home power backup perspective, though it may need load shedding. V2G *might* be interesting, but that really depends on what the paid value is for each kWh vs the cost of the extra battery wear, and how much that extra wear affects the primary use case for the battery.) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
