I wonder if Elon and the owner of SolarCity will get in touch. Oh wait... ;)

One interesting thing to note is the collaboration with Amazon...

A notable beta user:

AWS will be running a 4.8 megawatt hour pilot program with Tesla's batteries in the us-west-1 AZ (Northern California).

Hopefully this allows AWS and other hosting providers to use intermittent, renewable sources of energy more often.

EDIT: I'm guessing AWS will be using a cluster of 48 power packs (100 kilowatt hours each).

I must say Elon is a brilliant engineer but not the best of orators.

That's the price to the installer. They'll mark it up, and then you have the necessary accessories and installation.

This looks more like a $6,000-$8,000 item once it's all up and running. Gonna have to run some math here to figure out the ROI.

Can someone please share what a single family home can do with 10kWh?

If I pay for this do I have to plug this thing into my own electrical grid to keep charging it?
