It appears to me if a CT is totaled, but the battery is not damaged you will have between 90 and 180 Kwhrs of high quality battery energy storage. Based on Powerwall pricing of roughly $650 per Kwhr that would equate to $58,500 to $117,000 worth of storage. Granted some other hardware would be required. This would be some serious virtual power plant power as opposed to a wimpy one or two Powerwall system.
Now a gutted CT battery or other model battery is not a sexy Powerwall enclosure and would take up a lot of space. The solution would be to cut in/pour a vault into a garage slab.
Steps
1.) When Tesla Insurance totals a Tesla vehicle they evaluate the condition of the battery.
2.) Develop a packaged inverter/charger control box for common battery pack types.
3.) Have a group of contractors that specialize in building the vaults, dropping the batteries into the vault and hooking up the electronics.
4.) But these bad boy batteries to work as part of your virtual power plant.
5.) Collect a wide margin and brownie points for deferring EV battery waste.
Let me know what you think.
