How heavy is this thing and can it be easily removed and installed by one person?
750 lbs ?? and installed by service center only ??
I read: "Powerwall is 250lbs and 14 kWh so a toolbox size would be 500-700lbs."

I calc'd: 43 kWh = (440-320)/2.79

14 kWh * 3 = 42 kWh and
250 lbs * 3 = 750 lbs

You guys are over thinking this. They will thicken the existing battery. It’s only about 4ā€. Probably put it under the front row of seats. It’s not going in the vault

Wait what? There are quotes from Elon and pictures already. There are in various threads here.

I

I'm legitimate heartbroken my friends, I was expecting a price increase but not a 31k kind of price increase, wish you all you the best and my personal congratulations to those who can afford it.
I’ve been saving up for 6 years, and probably another year at least before my number comes up, so I ā€˜can’ get a dual + extender but do I ā€˜want’ to. Elon left a lot of information out and I need much more to make the call.

If this is true, I'm not overly excited about the range extender anymore.

Editing to add, it’s true, Elon said it takes up about 1/3 of the bed. And a photo:

How dumb. Tesla is really going downhill.

So the reservation page is up and now $250

Do you need to make a reservation again or is the original one from 2020 still valid??
Don’t know so I covered myself

I don't know, I think having a fully customizable vehicle sounds pretty rad. The range extender might be something that can be rented/shared owners when needed. Less weight when you don't need the range. Maybe it doubles as a baby powerwall in other uses?
Hey guys, want to borrow my 750lb battery. You get one end.

early confusion during the shelling

I had seen the tax rebate was included, but not the toggle to show actual MSRP that *also* backed out 3yrs of gas savings**


**which marketing maneuver I’ve always found suspect - how do they know what I pay for electricity (they don’t of course, they just seem to count the absence of gas cost, not the net difference for electric)
