The real question is...configure now, or wait for the new version of the cyber cell to be released, with slightly higher energy density and faster charging? Really trying to hold off on buying full release day tech...

The form includes this, because of the special instructions on 26 U.S. Code 25D(e)(3). As the subsection's title clarifies, they don't want people to claim a pool or hot tub as an "energy storage medium". They clearly didn't mean this to apply to batteries, as they have their own definition, as...

Why spell out what a qualified battery storage technology expenditure is in the same document then? Form 5695 has to talk about pools and hot tubs because of 26 USC Section 25D(e)(3). In the title it calls out "Swimming pools, etc., used as storage medium". It's talking about trying to use...

That language in the instructions exists because of 26 USC Section 25D(e)(3). To me, that language means you can't claim a tax credit for the solar panels that generate electricity to heat a pool. As an example, if 10% of the energy generated by all the solar panels is used to heat a pool...

Your van would have to be a primary or vacation residence, with a kitchen and plumbed toilet. Otherwise it couldn't get the solar/battery tax credit. I bought an electric/solar catamaran last year and had the builder break out the solar and battery costs, including wiring, install, and all...

Friend's auditor mom gave up. Can't find anything that says it wouldn't apply. Maintains it "feels wrong". lol. "The IRS is slow to adapt" she says, even though we all know the idea of V2G has been around for years, no one's ever tried claiming the vehicle as a residential clean energy system -...

Powerwalls are connected to the gateway. They're all 30% credits. EcoFlow sells transfer hub switches, with batteries on wheels for home backup. I don't see any difference between this and a Cybertruck with an Energy Gateway. Product web page for Cybertruck straight up talks about it being able...

26 USC Section 48 is the commercial tax credit. You need 26 Section 25D for Residential Clean Energy Credit, no?

Can you link where it says stationary? I know a guy with 16kWh of house batteries on wheels (2kWh each) and his tax guy and the company, said it qualifies for the credit. Only requirements are 3kWh storage, and installed in connection with primary or secondary residence in the USA. I've seen...

Friend's mom is an IRS auditor, he asked her. She couldn't come up with an answer, she's asking specialists, I'll report back tomorrow with an almost official answer hopefully.

1. Whenever I'm home, I'm using my Cybertruck as a home battery system. When I'm not dwelling in it, I'm not using it as a battery system. 2. My cybertruck will sit at home plugged in to the house for at least 23 hour a day. That seems like it's primary use, the ~5% of it's life when it's used...

The first Cybertruck in Virginia was just delivered today. I'm pretty sure there's states that haven't been invited to configure yet? Not sure any of these numbers are useful if the first person to reserve is potentially still waiting to configure their foundation series in a state that doesn't...

That's supposed to be addressed in the next update. It will be fixed for many months by the time I get mine :D

Yup, I understand. Highest draw would be possibly AC cycling and pulling a few kW. Just need to stay at 8-10kW destination chargers overnight and I’d still end up with most of a “tank” while sleeping.

This is what I can't wait for. Supercharge once, then find a high power J plug to park at for the night. Plug the trailer into the truck and run AC/fans and sleep in a real bed for the night. Maybe have a hot shower also before unplugging, fully charged, and doing another 200-300 miles the next...

Reason number 3 I'm waiting for mine, after new Cyber Cells, and street tire/base model that's ~71K after IRA.

This has been reported fairly often. People just finding out on accident that they can order. :D

I like to think of it as him taking one for the team. When I get my 79K dual motor truck, probably next year, it's going to be vastly improved over what's available today. Higher density cybercells, faster peak and sustained charge rates, plus all the little fixes these first deliveries will...
