Nothing like an online forum for people to give opinions and critique not sought. It is his money. He can do whatever the hell he wants to do with it.

It's just a standard portable generator connection with interlock. No extra battery needed. Bed outlet is limited to 40A vs 48A of Powershare and needs reactivated every 12 hours.

Same setup. Qmerit's quotes were ridiculous, had a 50 amp generator inlet installed with a manual lockout. Cybertruck will output 40 amps via the 240v socket. Not automated like Powershare, but it's about $7,000 less expensive when you consider all you need is a standard generator cord - no other hardware - and I'm still clutching my $2,500 voucher hoping for the lightbar to become available to FS AWD to purchase.

All I am going to say is that you cannot take your money with you. Have seen so many people hoard money to simply never use it, sometimes for things outside of their control like getting ill two weeks after retirement and then gone two weeks after that. Don’t judge people for doing whatever they want with their own money.

Garage doesn't have a subpanel, thus maxing out install credit (going 100A).
Even if it did, you can't legally connect a generator inlet there since there is no way to interlock the garage feed being a load vs generator. Need to have a separate circuit to the transfer switch.
In that, the Powershare Gateway makes things easier since it automatically does the islanding so the garage can act as a source and load with the Cybertruck (still can't connect a genset out there).

I totally agree here. I would never do this kind of dumb shit....I would've just bought another CT with the free supercharge. Then you'd have the free supercharge without losing selling short on the old one!
Y’all need to stop. You have no idea what is going on in that persons life. This is the kind of shit that drives me crazy on the internet. Let people do whatever they want as long as they are not hurting someone or an animal.

Right, if you have Gateway, the garage feed (any circuit on backed up side) can run Powershare.
It's in a non Powershare world where there is no simple* intrinsically safe way to put the generator on a general purpose garage circuit.

*Active contactors with monitoring are possible
