All Foundation Series owners will receive $2,500 voucher for Tesla Shop (to purchase Powershare Home Backup Equipment or other products)

[Cyber_P]

Does anyone know how and when we get the voucher? Has anyone got this voucher already and in what form does it come?

It's all words and empty communication for now. I'm sure it'll wait for some quarterly cycle or revenue meeting. Or when he gets his bonus.

I received the same email. I took delivery of my FS CT dual motor one week ago last Monday. I was wondering if I can use it to get the universal charger, gateway and another item or two since the charger and gateway are less than $2,500. When I accepted the estimate from the installer, I was told they will order the charger and gateway, which takes three weeks. I guess that won't happen now.

I'm interested in getting solar in a couple of years or maybe now. I asked the installer if I need the gateway if I buy two Powerwalls alone or if I buy solar with two Powerwalls. I was told I still need the gateway even if I have Powerwalls. From reading the Tesla website, it seems that I don't need the gateway if I buy Powerwalls. It's very confusing!

Powershare to home on its own requires a Gateway V3 (3V?) which has site controller and auto transformer to recreate neutral.
Powerwalls require a Gateway V2 which is just a grid disconnect switch.
Powerwall + Powerwall Gateway enables Powershare. Powerwalls provide neutral and site controller.

Powershare V3 Gateway can work with Powerwalls down the road, but it requires extra effort when commissioning to disable the redundant site controller.

I would most prefer a $2500 Supercharger credit, simple and easy, no number of months or miles. After all, they are claiming this is to simplify the process. What would be so hard about that? (Yeah, I know, it limits their ability to screw you.)

Does anyone know if you buy the universal wall charger from the store:

A) Will they ship it to you
B) Can you get it on wifi for updates not being a "certified con-artist"

It might take me 15 minutes to switch out my 14-50 with this.

FWIW, I was able to DIY install Gen 2 and Gen 3s wall connectors. For the last install I used the Tesla One app which is for professional installers but worked great for me as I was able to configure everything. My guess is that would also work for the universal connector. Enclosed is a screenshot of the product install page.

I have taken delivery of my CT AWD 35 days ago, but before that, I did refuse to pay crazy amount for the Power backup system installation. I do believe I should get that $2500.00 credit for the Tesla Store.
But, so far no email or any communication regarding this deal.

Still have not gotten any info on whether this was on top of the 6 month to 1 year free supercharging or not from Tesla itself. Anyone heard either way?

Don't tell me I have to ask Tesla directly or I'll flick you on the forehead. Pretty clear I already have.

I’m sure this has been answered in here somewhere and I missed it but what equipment would I need to buy to be able to use the power share feature? Is it just the universal wall connector and the rest is handled by your electrition? When talking to mine, he said it would connect just like a generator but I wanna make sure there’s no other Tesla equipment required.

Not me. Miles tend to have short lifespans

It sounds like your electrician is thinking of using the truck's 14-50 outlet as a power backup, that is not Powershare.
Powershare requires the V3 Gateway and UWC (or preexisting Powerwalls, Gateway, and Wall Connector). The Tesla approved installer would order this equipment direct using your store credit code.

Has anyone actually received the 6 months (AWD) or 12 months (Beast) free supercharging credit(s) to their account?

OK, so we can’t order that equipment ourselves? I’m asking because I’m in the middle of a divorce and part of it requires selling our house, but I want to use that money to buy all the equipment for my next house.

My understanding is that you can't order a Gateway yourself. The store credit may have a long expiration date for future use.

I emailed about changing from a $700 credit to a $2500 credit 60 days ago. Not a single reply to my continual emails on the subject. Tomorrow morning I'm filing for arbitration.

I thought that was originally offered as an option in place of the $700 credit (6 months for AWD, 12 for Beast).
